Composite optimization problems involve minimizing the composition of a smooth map with a convex function. Such objectives arise in numerous data science and signal processing applications, including phase retrieval, blind deconvolution,…

Recent research has shown that piecewise smooth (PS) functions can be approximated by piecewise linear functions with second order error in the distance to a given reference point. A semismooth Newton type algorithm based on successive…

We consider the problem of finding the best approximation point from a polyhedral set, and its applications, in particular to solving large-scale linear programs. The classical projection problem has many various and many applications. We…

In recent years, the proximal gradient method and its variants have been generalized to Riemannian manifolds for solving optimization problems with an additively separable structure, i.e., $f + h$, where $f$ is continuously differentiable,…

We propose a single time-scale stochastic subgradient method for constrained optimization of a composition of several nonsmooth and nonconvex functions. The functions are assumed to be locally Lipschitz and differentiable in a generalized…

Many problems in geometric optics or convex geometry can be recast as optimal transport problems: this includes the far-field reflector problem, Alexandrov's curvature prescription problem, etc. A popular way to solve these problems…

This paper develops the proximal method of multipliers for a class of nonsmooth convex optimization. The method generates a sequence of minimization problems (subproblems). We show that the sequence of approximations to the solutions of the…

In this paper, we devise a $\operatorname{prox}$-based semi-smooth Newton method for the non-differentiable TV-minimization problem. To this end, the primal-dual optimality conditions are reformulated as a nonlinear operator equation with…

This paper is concerned with a partially linear semiparametric regression model containing an unknown regression coefficient, an unknown nonparametric function, and an unobservable Gaussian distributed random error. We focus on the case of…

In this paper, we propose a Newton method for unconstrained set optimization problems to find its weakly minimal solutions with respect to lower set-less ordering. The objective function of the problem under consideration is given by…

An inexact semismooth Newton method has been proposed for solving semi-linear elliptic optimal control problems in this paper. This method incorporates the generalized minimal residual (GMRES) method, a type of Krylov subspace method, to…

We propose a new family of inexact sequential quadratic approximation (SQA) methods, which we call the inexact regularized proximal Newton ($\textsf{IRPN}$) method, for minimizing the sum of two closed proper convex functions, one of which…

We present a convergence theory for Anderson acceleration (AA) applied to perturbed Newton methods (pNMs) for computing roots of nonlinear problems. Two important special cases are the classical Newton method and the Levenberg-Marquardt…

A very popular approach for solving stochastic optimization problems is the stochastic gradient descent method (SGD). Although the SGD iteration is computationally cheap and the practical performance of this method may be satisfactory under…

Stochastic Gradient Descent (SGD) is widely used in machine learning research. Previous convergence analyses of SGD under the vanishing step-size setting typically require Robbins-Monro conditions. However, in practice, a wider variety of…
