Polyak Stepsize: Estimating Optimal Functional Values Without Parameters or Prior Knowledge

Farshed Abdukhakimov, Cuong Anh Pham, Samuel Horváth +2

The Polyak stepsize for Gradient Descent is known for its fast convergence but requires prior knowledge of the optimal functional value, which is often unavailable in practice. In…

Newton Method Revisited: Global Convergence Rates up to for Stepsize Schedules and Linesearch Procedures

Slavomír Hanzely, Farshed Abdukhakimov, Martin Takáč

This paper investigates the global convergence of stepsized Newton methods for convex functions with Hölder continuous Hessians or third derivatives. We propose several simple step…

The Power of First-Order Smooth Optimization for Black-Box Non-Smooth Problems

Alexander Gasnikov, Anton Novitskii, Vasilii Novitskii +6

Gradient-free/zeroth-order methods for black-box convex optimization have been extensively studied in the last decade with the main focus on oracle calls complexity. In this paper,…
