We propose a framework to use Nesterov's accelerated method for constrained convex optimization problems. Our approach consists of first reformulating the original problem as an unconstrained optimization problem using a continuously…

Alternating minimization (AM) procedures are practically efficient in many applications for solving convex and non-convex optimization problems. On the other hand, Nesterov's accelerated gradient is theoretically optimal first-order method…

The problem of minimizing a separable convex function under linearly coupled constraints arises from various application domains such as economic systems, distributed control, and network flow. The main challenge for solving this problem is…

Nesterov's accelerated gradient method for minimizing a smooth strongly convex function $f$ is known to reduce $f(\x_k)-f(\x^*)$ by a factor of $\eps\in(0,1)$ after $k\ge O(\sqrt{L/\ell}\log(1/\eps))$ iterations, where $\ell,L$ are the two…

We propose a new family of subgradient- and gradient-based methods which converges with optimal complexity for convex optimization problems whose feasible region is simple enough. This includes cases where the objective function is…

Convergence analysis of accelerated first-order methods for convex optimization problems are presented from the point of view of ordinary differential equation solvers. A new dynamical system, called Nesterov accelerated gradient flow, has…

In nonsmooth optimization, a negative subgradient is not necessarily a descent direction, making the design of convergent descent methods based on zeroth-order and first-order information a challenging task. The well-studied bundle methods…

In this technical note, we are concerned with the problem of solving variational inequalities with improved convergence rates. Motivated by Nesterov's accelerated gradient method for convex optimization, we propose a Nesterov's accelerated…

We present a variant of accelerated gradient descent algorithms, adapted from Nesterov's optimal first-order methods, for weakly-quasi-convex and weakly-quasi-strongly-convex functions. We show that by tweaking the so-called estimate…

We study the convergence rate of first-order methods for rectangular matrix factorization, which is a canonical nonconvex optimization problem. Specifically, given a rank-$r$ matrix $\mathbf{A}\in\mathbb{R}^{m\times n}$, we prove that…

We derive efficient algorithms to compute weakly Pareto optimal solutions for smooth, convex and unconstrained multiobjective optimization problems in general Hilbert spaces. To this end, we define a novel inertial gradient-like dynamical…

We consider problems of minimizing functionals $\mathcal{F}$ of probability measures on the Euclidean space. To propose an accelerated gradient descent algorithm for such problems, we consider gradient flow of transport maps that give…

In this paper, we study the asymptotic behavior of continuous- and discrete-time gradient flows of a ``lower-unbounded" convex function $f$ on a Hadamard manifold $M$, particularly, their convergence properties to the boundary $M^{\infty}$…

In this work, we approach the minimization of a continuously differentiable convex function under linear equality constraints by a second-order dynamical system with asymptotically vanishing damping term. The system is formulated in terms…

Nesterov's accelerated gradient descent method (AGD) is a seminal deterministic first-order method known to achieve the optimal order of iteration complexity for solving convex smooth optimization problems. Two distinct sequences of…

This work proposes an Accelerated Primal-Dual Fixed-Point (APDFP) method that employs Nesterov type acceleration to solve composite problems of the form min f(x) + g(Bx), where g is nonsmooth and B is a linear operator. The APDFP features…

Composite convex optimization models arise in several applications, and are especially prevalent in inverse problems with a sparsity inducing norm and in general convex optimization with simple constraints. The most widely used algorithms…

We develop a generalization of Nesterov's accelerated gradient descent method which is designed to deal with orthogonality constraints. To demonstrate the effectiveness of our method, we perform numerical experiments which demonstrate that…

In this paper, we study a bilinear saddle point problem of the form $\min_{x}\max_{y} F(x) + \langle Ax, y \rangle - G(y)$, where $F$ and $G$ are $\mu_F$- and $\mu_G$-strongly convex functions, respectively. By incorporating Nesterov…

In the history of first-order algorithms, Nesterov's accelerated gradient descent (NAG) is one of the milestones. However, the cause of the acceleration has been a mystery for a long time. It has not been revealed with the existence of…
