Halpern Iteration Achieves th-Order Oracle Complexity for Monotone Variational Inequalities

Lesi Chen, Xinliang Zhang, Hengyu Wang +3

We study second- and higher-order methods for solving smooth monotone variational inequalities (MVI). Monteiro and Svaiter (SIAM J. Optim., 2012) showed that a second-order method,…

Optimal Convex Optimization with Inexact Second-Order Oracles

Lesi Chen, Chengchang Liu, Luo Luo +2

In this paper, we present a novel second-order method called Accelerated Inexact Newton Extragradient (AINE) for convex optimization using -inexact Hessians. We show that AINE…

On the Condition Number Dependency in Bilevel Optimization

Lesi Chen, Jingzhao Zhang, Kaiyi Ji

Bilevel optimization minimizes an objective function, defined by an upper-level problem whose feasible region is the solution of a lower-level problem. We study the oracle complexi…

Second-Order Bilevel Optimization with Accelerated Convergence Rates

Sheng Yang, Chengchang Liu, Lesi Chen +1

This paper studies second-order methods for nonconvex-strongly-convex bilevel optimization. We propose a novel fully second-order bilevel approximation method (FSBA) that achieves…

Solving Convex-Concave Problems with th-Order Oracle Complexity

Lesi Chen, Xinliang Zhang, Chengchang Liu +3

When the objective has Lipschitz continuous th-order derivatives, it is known that convex-concave minimax problems can be solved with th-order or…
