Optimization over bounded-rank matrices through a desingularization enables joint global and local guarantees

Quentin Rebjock, Nicolas Boumal

Convergence guarantees for optimization over bounded-rank matrices are delicate to obtain because the feasible set is a nonsmooth and nonconvex algebraic variety. Existing techniqu…

Smooth, globally Polyak-Łojasiewicz functions are nonlinear least-squares

Nicolas Boumal, Christopher Criscitiello, Quentin Rebjock

The Polyak-Łojasiewicz (PŁ) condition is often invoked in nonconvex optimization because it allows fast convergence of algorithms beyond strong convexity. A function $f \colon \m…

Sensor network localization has a benign landscape after low-dimensional relaxation

Christopher Criscitiello, Andrew D. McRae, Quentin Rebjock +1

We consider the sensor network localization problem, which is closely related to multidimensional scaling and Euclidean distance matrix completion. Given a ground truth configurati…

Synchronization on circles and spheres with nonlinear interactions

Christopher Criscitiello, Quentin Rebjock, Andrew D. McRae +1

We consider the dynamics of points on a sphere in () which attract each other according to a function of their inner products. When is linear (…
