In this paper, we propose new proximal Newton-type methods for convex optimization problems in composite form. The applications include model predictive control (MPC) and embedded MPC. Our new methods are computationally attractive since…

In this paper, we revisit the augmented Lagrangian method for a class of nonsmooth convex optimization. We present the Lagrange optimality system of the augmented Lagrangian associated with the problems, and establish its connections with…

We study stochastic Cubic Newton methods for solving general possibly non-convex minimization problems. We propose a new framework, which we call the helper framework, that provides a unified view of the stochastic and variance-reduced…

We propose a method to impose homogeneous linear inequality constraints of the form $Ax\leq 0$ on neural network activations. The proposed method allows a data-driven training approach to be combined with modeling prior knowledge about the…

We consider online optimization problems with time-varying linear equality constraints. In this framework, an agent makes sequential decisions using only prior information. At every round, the agent suffers an environment-determined loss…

This paper presents a majorized alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM) with indefinite proximal terms for solving linearly constrained $2$-block convex composite optimization problems with each block in the objective being the…

We propose a new proximal, path-following framework for a class of constrained convex problems. We consider settings where the nonlinear---and possibly non-smooth---objective part is endowed with a proximity operator, and the constraint set…

We propose two new alternating direction methods to solve "fully" nonsmooth constrained convex problems. Our algorithms have the best known worst-case iteration-complexity guarantee under mild assumptions for both the objective residual and…

We revisit the linear programming approach to deterministic, continuous time, infinite horizon discounted optimal control problems. In the first part, we relax the original problem to an infinite-dimensional linear program over a measure…

In this paper, we consider a nonconvex optimization problem with nonlinear equality constraints. We assume that both, the objective function and the functional constraints are locally smooth. For solving this problem, we propose a…

This paper derives a discrete dual problem for a prototypical hybrid high-order method for convex minimization problems. The discrete primal and dual problem satisfy a weak convex duality that leads to a priori error estimates with…

In this paper, we accomplish a unified convergence analysis of a second-order method of multipliers (i.e., a second-order augmented Lagrangian method) for solving the conventional nonlinear conic optimization problems.Specifically, the…

This paper develops an adaptive proximal alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM) for solving linearly constrained, composite optimization problems under the assumption that the smooth component of the objective is weakly convex,…

We introduce and analyze an algorithm for the minimization of convex functions that are the sum of differentiable terms and proximable terms composed with linear operators. The method builds upon the recently developed smoothed gap…

In this article we develop a convergence theory for goal-oriented adaptive finite element algorithms designed for a class of second-order semilinear elliptic equations. We briefly discuss the target problem class, and introduce several…

We propose an extended primal-dual algorithm framework for solving a general nonconvex optimization model. This work is motivated by image reconstruction problems in a class of nonlinear imaging, where the forward operator can be formulated…

The problem of minimizing a sum of local convex objective functions over a networked system captures many important applications and has received much attention in the distributed optimization field. Most of existing work focuses on…

We introduce and analyze a continuous primal-dual dynamical system in the context of the minimization problem $f(x)+g(Ax)$, where $f$ and $g$ are convex functions and $A$ is a linear operator. In this setting, the trajectories of the…

Symmetric cone programming covers a broad class of convex optimization problems, including linear programming, second-order cone programming, and semidefinite programming. Although the augmented Lagrangian method (ALM) is well-suited for…

The convex minimization of $f(\mathbf{x})+g(\mathbf{x})+h(\mathbf{A}\mathbf{x})$ over $\mathbb{R}^n$ with differentiable $f$ and linear operator $\mathbf{A}: \mathbb{R}^n\rightarrow \mathbb{R}^m$, has been well-studied in the literature. By…
