    In the past years, augmented Lagrangian methods have been successfully applied to several classes of non-convex optimization problems, inspiring new developments in both theory and practice. In this paper we bring most of these recent developments from nonlinear programming to the context of optimization on Riemannian manifolds, including equality and inequality constraints. Many research have … Read more

    Conditional gradient method for multiobjective optimization

  • Leandro Fonseca Prudente
    • Categories Constrained Nonlinear Optimization, Multi-Criteria Optimization

    We analyze the conditional gradient method, also known as Frank-Wolfe method, for constrained multiobjective optimization. The constraint set is assumed to be convex and compact, and the objectives functions are assumed to be continuously differentiable. The method is considered with different strategies for obtaining the step sizes. Asymptotic convergence properties and iteration-complexity bounds with and … Read more

    A robust Kantorovich’s theorem on inexact Newton method with relative residual error tolerance

    • Categories Infinite Dimensional Optimization, Nonlinear Optimization

    We prove that under semi-local assumptions, the inexact Newton method with a fixed relative residual error tolerance converges Q-linearly to a zero of the non-linear operator under consideration. Using this result we show that Newton method for minimizing a self-concordant function or to find a zero of an analytic function can be implemented with a … Read more

    The convergence of primal and dual central paths associated to entropy and exponential functions, respectively, for semidefinite programming problem are studied in this paper. As an application, the proximal point method with the Kullback-Leibler distance applied to semidefinite programming problems is considered, and the convergence of primal and dual sequences is proved.

    The relationships among central path in the context of semidefinite programming, generalized proximal point method and Cauchy trajectory in Riemannian manifolds is studied in this paper. First it is proved that the central path associated to the general function is well defined. The convergence and characterization of its limit point is established for functions satisfying … Read more

    Kantorovich’s Majorants Principle for Newton’s Method

  • Orizon Pereira Ferreira
  • Benar Fux Svaiter
    • Categories Nonlinear Systems and Least-Squares Tags ,

    We prove Kantorovich’s theorem on Newton’s method using a convergence analysis which makes clear, with respect to Newton’s Method, the relationship of the majorant function and the non-linear operator under consideration. This approach enable us to drop out the assumption of existence of a second root for the majorant function, still guaranteeing Q-quadratic convergence rate … Read more

    In this paper we consider the proximal point method with Bregman distance applied to linear programming problems, and study the dual sequence obtained from the optimal multipliers of the linear constraints of each subproblem. We establish the convergence of this dual sequence, as well as convergence rate results for the primal sequence, for a suitable … Read more

    The problem of finding singularities of monotone vectors fields on Hadamard manifolds will be considered and solved by extending the well-known proximal point algorithm. For monotone vector fields the algorithm will generate a well defined sequence, and for monotone vector fields with singularities it will converge to a singularity. It will be also shown how … Read more
