Orthogonal Trace-Sum Maximization: Tightness of the Semidefinite Relaxation and Guarantee of Locally Optimal Solutions

Joong-Ho Won, Teng Zhang, Hua Zhou

This paper studies an optimization problem on the sum of traces of matrix quadratic forms in semi-orthogonal matrices, which can be considered as a generalization of the synchr…

Nonconvex Optimization via MM Algorithms: Convergence Theory

Kenneth Lange, Joong-Ho Won, Alfonso Landeros +1

The majorization-minimization (MM) principle is an extremely general framework for deriving optimization algorithms. It includes the expectation-maximization (EM) algorithm, proxim…

Splitting with Near-Circulant Linear Systems: Applications to Total Variation CT and PET

Ernest K. Ryu, Seyoon Ko, Joong-Ho Won

Many imaging problems, such as total variation reconstruction of X-ray computed tomography (CT) and positron-emission tomography (PET), are solved via a convex optimization problem…
