Variants of the A-HPE and large-step A-HPE algorithms for strongly convex problems with applications to accelerated high-order tensor methods

For solving strongly convex optimization problems, we propose and study the global convergence of variants of the A-HPE and large-step A-HPE algorithms of Monteiro and Svaiter. We prove \emph{linear} and the \emph{superlinear} $\mathcal{O}\left(k^{\,-k\left(\frac{p-1}{p+1}\right)}\right)$ global rates for the proposed variants of the A-HPE and large-step A-HPE methods, respectively. The parameter $p\geq 2$ appears in the (high-order) … Read more

Accelerated Inexact Composite Gradient Methods for Nonconvex Spectral Optimization Problems

This paper presents two inexact composite gradient methods, one inner accelerated and another doubly accelerated, for solving a class of nonconvex spectral composite optimization problems. More specifically, the objective function for these problems is of the form f_1 + f_2 + h where f_1 and f_2 are differentiable nonconvex matrix functions with Lipschitz continuous gradients, … Read more
