    This paper proposes and analyzes an accelerated inexact dampened augmented Lagrangian (AIDAL) method for solving linearly-constrained nonconvex composite optimization problems. Each iteration of the AIDAL method consists of: (i) inexactly solving a dampened proximal augmented Lagrangian (AL) subproblem by calling an accelerated composite gradient (ACG) subroutine; (ii) applying a dampened and under-relaxed Lagrange multiplier update; … Read more

    This paper proposes and analyzes a proximal augmented Lagrangian (NL-IAPIAL) method for solving smooth nonconvex composite optimization problems with nonlinear K-convex constraints, i.e., the constraints are convex with respect to the order given by a closed convex cone K. Each NL-IAPIAL iteration consists of inexactly solving a proximal augmented Lagrangian subproblem by an accelerated composite … Read more

    This paper establishes the iteration-complexity of an inner accelerated inexact proximal augmented Lagrangian (IAPIAL) method for solving linearly constrained smooth nonconvex composite optimization problems which is based on the classical Lagrangian function and, most importantly, performs a full Lagrangian multiplier update, i.e., no shrinking factor is incorporated on it. More specifically, each IAPIAL iteration consists … Read more
