Convergence of the Safeguarded Augmented Lagrangian Method under the Polyak-Lojasiewicz constraint qualification for Constrained Composite Optimization

Christian Kanzow, Jannis Krüger

In this work we provide theoretical and practical results of the Safeguarded Augmented Lagrangian Method (SALM) for constrained composite optimization problems whose objective is t…

A Nonmonotone Descent Method for Optimization Problems Defined by Upper- Functions over Submanifolds

Christian Kanzow, Leo Lehmann

We consider the optimization problem of minimizing a nonsmooth function characterized by a nonsmooth formulation of the descent lemma over a manifold. In the unconstrained case ove…

Proximal Limited-Memory Quasi-Newton Methods for Nonsmooth Nonconvex Optimization

Simeon vom Dahl, Alberto De Marchi, Christian Kanzow

We introduce a proximal limited--memory quasi--Newton scheme for minimizing the sum of a continuously differentiable function and a proper, lower semicontinuous and prox-bounded, p…

An adaptive proximal safeguarded augmented Lagrangian method for nonsmooth DC problems with convex constraints

Christian Kanzow, Tanja Neder

A proximal safeguarded augmented Lagrangian method for minimizing the difference of convex (DC) functions over a nonempty, closed and convex set with additional linear equality as…

A modified exact penalty approach for general constrained -sparse optimization problems

Christian Kanzow, Felix Weiß

We consider a general class of constrained optimization problems with an additional - sparsity term in the objective function. Based on a recent reformulation of this diffi…

Convergence of Nonmonotone Proximal Gradient Methods under the Kurdyka-Lojasiewicz Property without a Global Lipschitz Assumption

Christian Kanzow, Leo Lehmann

We consider the composite minimization problem with the objective function being the sum of a continuously differentiable and a merely lower semicontinuous and extended-valued func…
