A subgradient method is presented for solving general convex optimization problems, the main requirement being that a strictly-feasible point is known. A feasible sequence of iterates is generated, which converges to within user-specified…
This paper investigates the optimality conditions for characterizing the local minimizers of the constrained optimization problems involving an $\ell_p$ norm ($0<p<1$) of the variables, which may appear in either the objective or the…
The numerical performance of algorithms can be studied using test sets or procedures that generate such problems. This paper proposes various methods for generating linear, semidefinite, and second-order cone optimization problems.…
We consider fundamental algorithmic number theoretic problems and their relation to a class of block structured Integer Linear Programs (ILPs) called $2$-stage stochastic. A $2$-stage stochastic ILP is an integer program of the form $\min…
We develop a novel iterative algorithm for locally optimal experimental design under constraints, like budget or performance constraints. It is an adaptive discretization algorithm. In every iteration, a discretized version of the…
In this note, we first recall the nonconvex problem setting and introduce the optimal PAGE algorithm (Li et al., ICML'21). Then we provide a simple and clean convergence analysis of PAGE for achieving optimal convergence rates. Moreover,…
We develop a novel unified randomized block-coordinate primal-dual algorithm to solve a class of nonsmooth constrained convex optimization problems, which covers different existing variants and model settings from the literature. We prove…
A new stochastic primal--dual algorithm for solving a composite optimization problem is proposed. It is assumed that all the functions/operators that enter the optimization problem are given as statistical expectations. These expectations…
In this paper, a class of optimization problems with nonlinear inequality constraints is discussed. Based on the ideas of sequential quadratic programming algorithm and the method of strongly sub-feasible directions, a new superlinearly…
This paper investigates the convex optimization problem with general convex inequality constraints. To cope with this problem, a discrete-time algorithm, called augmented primal-dual gradient algorithm (Aug-PDG), is studied and analyzed. It…
We study alternating first-order algorithms with no inner loops for solving nonconvex-strongly-concave min-max problems. We show the convergence of the alternating gradient descent--ascent algorithm method by proposing a substantially…
We investigate the convergence of the primal-dual algorithm for composite optimization problems when the objective functions are weakly convex. We introduce a modified duality gap function, which is a lower bound of the standard duality gap…
Optimization problems under affine constraints appear in various areas of machine learning. We consider the task of minimizing a smooth strongly convex function F(x) under the affine constraint Kx=b, with an oracle providing evaluations of…
We present two parallel optimization algorithms for a convex function $f$. The first algorithm optimizes over linear inequality constraints in a Hilbert space, $\mathbb H$, and the second over a non convex polyhedron in $\mathbb R^n$. The…
The problem of optimizing over random structures emerges in many areas of science and engineering, ranging from statistical physics to machine learning and artificial intelligence. For many such structures finding optimal solutions by means…
We describe and analyze an interior-point method to decide feasibility problems of second-order conic systems. A main feature of our algorithm is that arithmetic operations are performed with finite precision. Bounds for both the number of…
In this paper, we focus on the problem of stochastic optimization where the objective function can be written as an expectation function over a closed convex set. We also consider multiple expectation constraints which restrict the domain…
We revisit the classical dual ascent algorithm for minimization of convex functionals in the presence of linear constraints, and give convergence results which apply even for non-convex functionals. We describe limit points in terms of the…
In this paper we propose a new inexact dual decomposition algorithm for solving separable convex optimization problems. This algorithm is a combination of three techniques: dual Lagrangian decomposition, smoothing and excessive gap. The…
Over the last decade, significant progress has been made in understanding complex biological systems, however there have been few attempts at incorporating this knowledge into nature inspired optimization algorithms. In this paper, we…
