Minimisation of Quasar-Convex Functions Using Random Zeroth-Order Oracles
Amir Ali Farzin, Yuen-Man Pun, Philipp Braun +1
This paper explores the performance of a random Gaussian smoothing zeroth-order (ZO) scheme for minimising quasar-convex (QC) and strongly quasar-convex (SQC) functions in both unc…

Online Non-Stationary Stochastic Quasar-Convex Optimization
Yuen-Man Pun, Iman Shames
Recent research has shown that quasar-convexity can be found in applications such as identification of linear dynamical systems and generalized linear models. Such observations hav…
