The adaptive cubic regularization method [Cartis, Gould, Toint, 2009-2010] has been recently proposed for solving unconstrained minimization problems. At each iteration of this method, the objective function is replaced by a cubic approximation which comprises an adaptive regularization parameter whose role is related to the local Lipschitz constant of the objective’s Hessian. We present new … Read more
The adaptive cubic regularization algorithms described in Cartis, Gould & Toint (2009, 2010) for unconstrained (nonconvex) optimization are shown to have improved worst-case efficiency in terms of the function- and gradient-evaluation count when applied to convex and strongly convex objectives. In particular, our complexity upper bounds match in order (as a function of the accuracy … Read more
In this paper we derive the efficiency estimates of the regularized Newton’s method as applied to constrained convex minimization problems and to variational inequalities. We study a one-step Newton’s method and its multistep accelerated version, which converges on smooth convex problems as $O({1 \over k^3})$, where $k$ is the iteration counter. We derive also the … Read more
