We consider strongly-convex-strongly-concave saddle-point problems with general non-bilinear objective and different condition numbers with respect to the primal and the dual variables. First, we consider such problems with smooth composite…
In this paper we consider the variable inequality problem, that is, to find a solution of the inclusion given by the sum of a function and a point-to-cone application. This problem can be seen as a generalization of the classical system…
We provide a multilevel approach for analysing performances of parallel algorithms. The main outcome of such approach is that the algorithm is described by using a set of operators which are related to each other according to the problem…
We study the convergence of a family of numerical integration methods where the numerical integral is formulated as a finite matrix approximation to a multiplication operator. For bounded functions, the convergence has already been…
This paper is devoted to the study of acceleration methods for an inequality constrained convex optimization problem by using Lyapunov functions. We first approximate such a problem as an unconstrained optimization problem by employing the…
This paper explores general multi-robot task and motion planning, where multiple robots in close proximity manipulate objects while satisfying constraints and a given goal. In particular, we formulate the plan refinement problem--which,…
The existing machine learning algorithms for minimizing the convex function over a closed convex set suffer from slow convergence because their learning rates must be determined before running them. This paper proposes two machine learning…
Stochastic nonconvex optimization problems with nonlinear constraints have a broad range of applications in intelligent transportation, cyber-security, and smart grids. In this paper, first, we propose an inexact-proximal accelerated…
We revisit the smooth convex-concave bilinearly-coupled saddle-point problem of the form $\min_x\max_y f(x) + \langle y,\mathbf{B} x\rangle - g(y)$. In the highly specific case where each of the functions $f(x)$ and $g(y)$ is either affine…
In this paper we consider a stochastic heavy-ball method for solving linear ill-posed inverse problems. With suitable choices of the step-sizes and the momentum coefficients, we establish the regularization property of the method under {\it…
A sequential piecewise linear programming method is presented where bounded domains of non-convex functions are successively contracted about the solution of a piecewise linear program at each iteration of the algorithm. Although…
Adam is a popular variant of stochastic gradient descent for finding a local minimizer of a function. In the constant stepsize regime, assuming that the objective function is differentiable and non-convex, we establish the convergence in…
This paper considers the robust phase retrieval problem, which can be cast as a nonsmooth and nonconvex optimization problem. We propose a new inexact proximal linear algorithm with the subproblem being solved inexactly. Our contributions…
In this paper we study randomized optimal stopping problems and consider corresponding forward and backward Monte Carlo based optimisation algorithms. In particular we prove the convergence of the proposed algorithms and derive the…
Recent several years have witnessed the surge of asynchronous (async-) parallel computing methods due to the extremely big data involved in many modern applications and also the advancement of multi-core machines and computer clusters. In…
It is common to encounter large-scale monotone inclusion problems where the objective has a finite sum structure. We develop a general framework for variance-reduced forward-backward splitting algorithms for this problem. This framework…
In this paper, we propose several models, which can realize synchronization of complex networks in finite time effectively. The results apply to heterogeneous dynamic networks, too. The mechanism of finite time convergence is revealed.…
This paper focuses on a class of inclusion problems of maximal monotone operators in a multi-agent network, where each agent is characterized by an operator that is not available to any other agents, but the agents can cooperate by…
In this paper, using the Bregman distance, we introduce a new projection-type algorithm for finding a common element of the set of solutions of an equilibrium problem and the set of fixed points. Then the strong convergence of the sequence…
We introduce the problem Synchronized Planarity. Roughly speaking, its input is a loop-free multi-graph together with synchronization constraints that, e.g., match pairs of vertices of equal degree by providing a bijection between their…
