The Role of Level-Set Geometry on the Performance of PDHG for Conic Linear Optimization

Zikai Xiong, Robert M. Freund

We consider solving huge-scale instances of (convex) conic linear optimization problems, at the scale where matrix-factorization-free methods are attractive or necessary. The resta…

Computational Guarantees for Restarted PDHG for LP based on "Limiting Error Ratios" and LP Sharpness

Zikai Xiong, Robert Michael Freund

In recent years, there has been growing interest in solving linear optimization problems - or more simply "LP" - using first-order methods in order to avoid the costly matrix facto…

On the Relation Between LP Sharpness and Limiting Error Ratio and Complexity Implications for Restarted PDHG

Zikai Xiong, Robert M. Freund

There has been a recent surge in development of first-order methods (FOMs) for solving huge-scale linear programming (LP) problems. The attractiveness of FOMs for LP stems in part…

Using Taylor-Approximated Gradients to Improve the Frank-Wolfe Method for Empirical Risk Minimization

Zikai Xiong, Robert M. Freund

The Frank-Wolfe method has become increasingly useful in statistical and machine learning applications, due to the structure-inducing properties of the iterates, and especially in…

Interior-Point Methods Strike Back: Solving the Wasserstein Barycenter Problem

Dongdong Ge, Haoyue Wang, Zikai Xiong +1

Computing the Wasserstein barycenter of a set of probability measures under the optimal transport metric can quickly become prohibitive for traditional second-order algorithms, suc…
