Accelerated gradient methods on the Grassmann and Stiefel manifolds
In this paper we extend the nonconvex version of Nesterov’s accelerated gradient (AG) method to optimization over the Grassmann and Stiefel manifolds. We propose an exponential-based AG algorithm for the Grassmann manifold and a retraction-based AG algorithm that exploits the Cayley transform for both of the Grassmann and Stiefel manifolds. Under some mild assumptions, we … Read more
