Bundle-type methods uniformly optimal for smooth and nonsmooth convex optimization
The bundle-level method and their certain variants are known to exhibit an optimal rate of convergence, i.e., ${\cal O}(1/\sqrt{t})$, and also excellent practical performance for solving general non-smooth convex programming (CP) problems. However, this rate of convergence is significantly worse than the optimal one for solving smooth CP problems, i.e., ${\cal O}(1/t^2)$. In this paper, … Read more
