In this paper, we introduce the Quasi-Quadratic Gradient (QQG), a novel search direction designed to accelerate the BFGS method within the quasi-Newton framework. By defining the QQG as the product of the inverse Hessian approximation and…

Systems of Newton equations of the form $\ddot{q}=-{1/2}A^{-1}(q)\nabla k$ with an integral of motion quadratic in velocities are studied. These equations generalize the potential case (when A=I, the identity matrix) and they admit a…

The BFGS quasi-Newton methodology, popular for smooth minimization, has also proved surprisingly effective in nonsmooth optimization. Through a variety of simple examples and computational experiments, we explore how the BFGS matrix update…

The Neumann--Neumann method is a commonly employed domain decomposition method for linear elliptic equations. However, the method exhibits slow convergence when applied to semilinear equations and does not seem to converge at all for…

This paper presents a finite difference quasi-Newton method for the minimization of noisy functions. The method takes advantage of the scalability and power of BFGS updating, and employs an adaptive procedure for choosing the differencing…

We develop and analyze stochastic inexact Gauss-Newton methods for nonlinear least-squares problems and for nonlinear systems ofequations. Random models are formed using suitable sampling strategies for the matrices involved in the…

In this paper preconditioners for the Conjugate Gradient method are studied to solve the Newton system with symmetric positive definite Jacobian. In particular, we define a sequence of preconditioners built by means of SR1 and BFGS low-rank…

We extend the well-known BFGS quasi-Newton method and its memory-limited variant LBFGS to the optimization of nonsmooth convex objectives. This is done in a rigorous fashion by generalizing three components of BFGS to subdifferentials: the…

The combination of nonlinear FETI-DP (Dual Primal Finite Element Tearing and Interconnecting) and Quasi-Newton methods using a sequential quadratic programming (SQP) approach is considered. Nonlinear FETI-DP methods are parallel iterative…

This paper proposes a nonmonotone proximal quasi-Newton algorithm for unconstrained convex multiobjective composite optimization problems. To design the search direction, we minimize the max-scalarization of the variations of the Hessian…

Deep learning algorithms often require solving a highly non-linear and nonconvex unconstrained optimization problem. Methods for solving optimization problems in large-scale machine learning, such as deep learning and deep reinforcement…

Although first-order stochastic algorithms, such as stochastic gradient descent, have been the main force to scale up machine learning models, such as deep neural nets, the second-order quasi-Newton methods start to draw attention due to…

Finding roots of equations is at the heart of most computational science. A well-known and widely used iterative algorithm is the Newton's method. However, its convergence depends heavily on the initial guess, with poor choices often…

We show how to adapt the quasi-Newton method to the electronic-structure calculations using systematic basis sets. Our implementation requires less iterations than the conjugate gradient method, while the computational cost per iteration is…

We propose a novel limited-memory stochastic block BFGS update for incorporating enriched curvature information in stochastic approximation methods. In our method, the estimate of the inverse Hessian matrix that is maintained by it, is…

We consider the use of a curvature-adaptive step size in gradient-based iterative methods, including quasi-Newton methods, for minimizing self-concordant functions, extending an approach first proposed for Newton's method by Nesterov. This…

In this paper, a modified BFGS algorithm is proposed. The modified BFGS matrix estimates a modified Hessian matrix which is a convex combination of an identity matrix for the steepest descent algorithm and a Hessian matrix for the Newton…

Quasi-Newton methods are ubiquitous in deterministic local search due to their efficiency and low computational cost. This class of methods uses the history of gradient evaluations to approximate second-order derivatives. However, only…

We present an efficient quasi-Newton orbital solver optimized to reduce the number of gradient (Fock matrix) evaluations. The solver optimizes orthogonal orbitals by sequences of unitary rotations generated by the (preconditioned)…

We propose a Forward-Backward Truncated-Newton method (FBTN) for minimizing the sum of two convex functions, one of which smooth. Unlike other proximal Newton methods, our approach does not involve the employment of variable metrics, but is…
