Linear Convergence and Error Bounds for Optimization Without Strong Convexity

Kira van Treek, Javier F. Peña, Juan C. Vera +1

Many optimization algorithms$\unicode{x2013}$including gradient descent, proximal methods, and operator splitting techniques$\unicode{x2013}$can be formulated as fixed-point iterat…

First-order and interior-point methods for entanglement detection

Javier Pena, Vikesh Siddhu, Sridhar Tayur

Quantum entanglement lies at the heart of quantum information science, yet its reliable detection in high-dimensional or noisy systems remains a fundamental computational challenge…

Duality of Hoffman constants

Javier F. Pena, Juan C. Vera, Luis F. Zuluaga

We show that a suitable Slater condition implies a duality inequality between the Hoffman constants of the following feasibility problems: $$ \begin{array}{r} Ax-b \in S\\ x \in R…

Affine invariant convergence rates of the conditional gradient method

Javier Pena

We show that the conditional gradient method for the convex composite problem \[\min_x\{f(x) + Ψ(x)\}\] generates primal and dual iterates with a duality gap converging to zero pro…

Linear convergence of the Douglas-Rachford algorithm via a generic error bound condition

Javier Peña, Juan C. Vera, Luis F. Zuluaga

We provide new insight into the convergence properties of the Douglas-Rachford algorithm for the problem , where and are convex functions. Our approac…
