Most inverse optimization models impute unspecified parameters of an objective function to make an observed solution optimal for a given optimization problem with a fixed feasible set. We propose two approaches to impute unspecified…
In this paper, we consider the minimization of a nonsmooth nonconvex objective function $f(x)$ over a closed convex subset $\mathcal{X}$ of $\mathbb{R}^n$, with additional nonsmooth nonconvex constraints $c(x) = 0$. We develop a unified…
This note serves two purposes. Firstly, we construct a counterexample to show that the statement on the convergence of the alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM) for solving linearly constrained convex optimization problems in a…
We introduce Newton-ADMM, a method for fast conic optimization. The basic idea is to view the residuals of consecutive iterates generated by the alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM) as a set of fixed point equations, and then…
In this paper, we study a class of convex composite optimization problems. We begin by characterizing the equivalence between the primal/dual strong second-order sufficient condition and the dual/primal nondegeneracy condition. Building on…
This work proposes a novel adaptive linearized alternating direction multiplier method (LADMM) to convex optimization, which improves the convergence rate of the LADMM-based algorithm by adjusting step-size iteratively.The innovation of…
Newton-type methods enjoy fast local convergence and strong empirical performance, but achieving global guarantees comparable to first-order methods remains challenging. Even for simple strongly convex problems, no straightforward variant…
In this paper, we propose a uniform semismooth Newton-based algorithmic framework called SSNCVX for solving a broad class of convex composite optimization problems. By exploiting the augmented Lagrangian duality, we reformulate the original…
This paper demonstrates a practical method for computing the solution of an expectation-constrained robust maximization problem with immediate applications to model-free no-arbitrage bounds and super-replication values for many financial…
In this paper, we propose a second-order continuous primal-dual dynamical system with time-dependent positive damping terms for a separable convex optimization problem with linear equality constraints. By the Lyapunov function approach, we…
In [19], a general, inexact, efficient proximal quasi-Newton algorithm for composite optimization problems has been proposed and a sublinear global convergence rate has been established. In this paper, we analyze the convergence properties…
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…
We present a proximal augmented Lagrangian based solver for general convex quadratic programs (QPs), relying on semismooth Newton iterations with exact line search to solve the inner subproblems. The exact line search reduces in this case…
In this paper, we develop a new asymmetric framework for solving primal-dual problems of Conic Optimization by Interior-Point Methods (IPMs). It allows development of efficient methods for problems, where the dual formulation is simpler…
Capacity constrained optimal transport is a variant of optimal transport, which adds extra constraints on the set of feasible couplings in the original optimal transport problem to limit the mass transported between each pair of source and…
In this paper, a new variant of accelerated gradient descent is proposed. The pro-posed method does not require any information about the objective function, usesexact line search for the practical accelerations of convergence, converges…
This paper is concerned with the convergence of a two-step modified Newton method for solving the nonlinear system arising from the minimal nonnegative solution of nonsymmetric algebraic Riccati equations from neutron transport theory. We…
In this paper, the problem of finding optimal success probabilities of static linear optics quantum gates is linked to the theory of convex optimization. It is shown that by exploiting this link, upper bounds for the success probability of…
A new approach to linear programming duality is proposed which relies on quadratic penalization, so that the relation between solutions to the penalized primal and dual problems becomes affine. This yields a new proof of Levin's duality…
An uniform LP duality is an useful property of conic matrix systems. A consistent linear conic optimization problem yields uniform LP duality if for any linear cost function, for which the primal problem has finite optimal value, the…
