This paper introduces a novel Transformed Primal-Dual with variable-metric/preconditioner (TPDv) algorithm, designed to efficiently solve affine constrained optimization problems common in nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs).…
We study acceleration and preconditioning strategies for a class of Douglas-Rachford methods aiming at the solution of convex-concave saddle-point problems associated with Fenchel-Rockafellar duality. While the basic iteration converges…
We propose and analyze a general framework called nonlinear preconditioned primal-dual with projection for solving nonconvex-nonconcave and non-smooth saddle-point problems. The framework consists of two steps. The first is a nonlinear…
In this paper, we consider a special class of nonlinear optimal control problems, where the control variables are box-constrained and the objective functional is strongly convex corresponding to control variables and separable with respect…
A transformed primal-dual (TPD) flow is developed for a class of nonlinear smooth saddle point system. The flow for the dual variable contains a Schur complement which is strongly convex. Exponential stability of the saddle point is…
We propose a primal-dual parallel proximal splitting method for solving domain decomposition problems for partial differential equations. The problem is formulated via minimization of energy functions on the subdomains with coupling…
We examine the duality theory for a class of non-convex functions obtained by composing a convex function with a continuous one. Using Fenchel duality, we derive a dual problem that satisfies weak duality under general assumptions. To…
We consider separable nonconvex optimization problems under affine constraints. For these problems, the Shapley-Folkman theorem provides an upper bound on the duality gap as a function of the nonconvexity of the objective functions, but…
We develop an inexact primal-dual first-order smoothing framework to solve a class of non-bilinear saddle point problems with primal strong convexity. Compared with existing methods, our framework yields a significant improvement over the…
It has been shown that many first-order methods satisfy the perturbed Fenchel duality inequality, which yields a unified derivation of convergence. More first-order methods are discussed in this paper, e.g., dual averaging and bundle…
We derive an extension of the sequential homotopy method that allows for the application of inexact solvers for the linear (double) saddle-point systems arising in the local semismooth Newton method for the homotopy subproblems. For the…
The phase separation processes are typically modeled by Cahn-Hilliard equations. This equation was originally introduced to model phase separation in binary alloys, where phase stands for concentration of different components in alloy. When…
We present a new solver for coupled nonlinear elliptic partial differential equations (PDEs). The solver is based on pseudo-spectral collocation with domain decomposition and can handle one- to three-dimensional problems. It has three…
In convex optimization, duality theory can sometimes lead to simpler solution methods than those resulting from direct primal analysis. In this paper, this principle is applied to a class of composite variational problems arising in…
Preconditioning for multilevel Toeplitz systems has long been a focal point of research in numerical linear algebra. In this work, we develop a novel preconditioning method for a class of nonsymmetric multilevel Toeplitz systems, which…
Multiscale and multiphysics problems need novel numerical methods in order for them to be solved correctly and predictively. To that end, we develop a wavelet based technique to solve a coupled system of nonlinear partial differential…
We introduce a framework based on Rockafellar's perturbation theory to analyze and solve general nonsmooth convex minimization and monotone inclusion problems involving nonlinearly composed functions as well as linear compositions. Such…
In this article, we propose and study a stochastic and relaxed preconditioned Douglas--Rachford splitting method to solve saddle-point problems that have separable dual variables. We prove the almost sure convergence of the iteration…
We propose a primal-dual smoothing framework for finding a near-stationary point of a class of non-smooth non-convex optimization problems with max-structure. We analyze the primal and dual gradient complexities of the framework via two…
Whether integrable, partially integrable or nonintegrable, nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs) can be handled from scratch with essentially the same toolbox, when one looks for analytic solutions in closed form. The basic tool…
