Analytic Formulas for Alternating Projection Sequences for the Positive Semidefinite Cone and an Application to Convergence Analysis

We derive analytic formulas for the alternating projection method applied to the cone \(S^n_+\) of positive semidefinite matrices and an affine subspace. More precisely, we find recursive relations on parameters representing a sequence constructed by the alternating projection method. By applying these formulas, we analyze the alternating projection method in detail and show that the … Read more

Quasi-Newton methods on Grassmannians and multilinear approximations of tensors

In this paper we proposed quasi-Newton and limited memory quasi-Newton methods for objective functions defined on Grassmannians or a product of Grassmannians. Specifically we defined BFGS and L-BFGS updates in local and global coordinates on Grassmannians or a product of these. We proved that, when local coordinates are used, our BFGS updates on Grassmannians share … Read more
