This paper is devoted to study the convergence rates of a second-order dynamical system and its corresponding discretization associated with a continuously differentiable bilinearly coupled convex-concave saddle point problem. First, we consider the second-order dynamical system with asymptotically vanishing damping term and show the existence and uniqueness of the trajectories as global twice continuously differentiable … Read more

In this article we address the problem of minimizing a strictly convex quadratic function using a novel iterative method. The new algorithm is based on the well–known Nesterov’s accelerated gradient method. At each iteration of our scheme, the new point is computed by performing a line–search scheme using a search direction given by a linear … Read more

Nonsmooth Algorithms and Nesterov’s Smoothing Techniques for Generalized Fermat-Torricelli Problems

Convex and Nonsmooth Optimization generalized fermat-torricelli problem, mm principle, nesterov's accelerated gradient method, subgradient-type algorithms

In this paper we present some algorithms for solving a number of new models of facility location involving sets which generalize the classical Fermat-Torricelli problem. Our approach uses subgradient-type algorithms to cope with nondierentiabilty of the distance functions therein. Another approach involves approximating nonsmooth optimization problems by smooth optimizations problems using Nesterov’s smoothing techniques. Convergence … Read more
