A central challenge to many fields of science and engineering involves minimizing non-convex error functions over continuous, high dimensional spaces. Gradient descent or quasi-Newton methods are almost ubiquitously used to perform such…
We propose an alternating subgradient method with non-constant step sizes for solving convex-concave saddle-point problems associated with general convex-concave functions. We assume that the sequence of our step sizes is not summable but…
We propose an approach to saddle point optimization relying only on oracles that solve minimization problems approximately. We analyze its convergence property on a strongly convex--concave problem and show its linear convergence toward the…
In this paper, we consider the one-dimensional generalized Benjamin--Bona--Mahony (gBBM) equation \[(1-\partial_x^2)u_t+(u+u^p)_x=0,\qquad p=2,3,4,\dots,\] posed either on the real line $\mathbb R$ or on the torus $\mathbb T$. This equation…
The aim of this paper is to prove a fixed point theorem on a generalised cone metric spaces for maps satisfying general contractive type conditions.
In this work, we analyze the global convergence property of coordinate gradient descent with random choice of coordinates and stepsizes for non-convex optimization problems. Under generic assumptions, we prove that the algorithm iterate…
The block structure of double saddle-point problems has prompted extensive research into efficient preconditioners. This paper introduces a novel class of three-by-three block preconditioners tailored for such systems from the…
In this paper, a class of new preconditioners based on matrix splitting are presented for generalized saddle-point linear systems, which can be viewed as further modified improvements of some recently published preconditioners. Moreover, we…
We provide a simple proof of the radial symmetry of any nonnegative minimizer for a general class of quasi-linear minimization problems.
We study the convergence of the gradient descent method for solving ill-posed problems where the solution is characterized as a global minimum of a differentiable functional in a Hilbert space. The classical least-squares functional for…
In this paper, we investigate the local-in-time well-posedness for the two-dimensional Prandtl equations in weighted Sobolev spaces under the Oleinik's monotonicity condition.Due to the loss of tangential derivative caused by vertical…
We consider the initial-value problem for the bidirectional Whitham equation, a system which combines the full two-way dispersion relation from the incompressible Euler equations with a canonical shallow-water nonlinearity. We prove local…
We present a preconditioner for saddle point problems. The proposed preconditioner is extracted from a stationary iterative method which is convergent under a mild condition. Some properties of the preconditioner as well as the eigenvalues…
In this paper, we prove global well-posedness for low regularity data for the one dimensional quintic defocusing nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation. We show that a unique solution exists for $u_{0} \in H^{s}(\mathbf{R})$, $s > {8/29}$. This…
Rapid advances in data collection and processing capabilities have allowed for the use of increasingly complex models that give rise to nonconvex optimization problems. These formulations, however, can be arbitrarily difficult to solve in…
We study preconditioned proximal point methods for a class of saddle point problems, where the preconditioner decouples the overall proximal point method into an alternating primal--dual method. This is akin to the Chambolle--Pock method or…
In this paper, we establish the well-posedness of Cauchy problems for weak solutions to second-order degenerate parabolic equations with a non-smooth, time-dependent degenerate elliptic part that includes both bounded and unbounded…
In the setting of saddle point reduction, we prove that the critical groups of the original functional and the reduced functional are isomorphic. As application, we obtain two nontrivial solutions for elliptic gradient systems which may be…
We prove that the generalized Benjamin-Ono equations $\partial_tu+\mathcal{H}\partial_x^2u\pm u^k\partial_xu=0$, $k\geq 4$ are locally well-posed in the scaling invariant spaces $\dot{H}^{s_k}(\R)$ where $s_k=1/2-1/k$. Our results also hold…
Saddle point problems arise in a variety of applications, e.g., when solving the Stokes equations. They can be formulated such that the system matrix is symmetric, but indefinite, so the variational convergence theory that is usually used…
