High Probability Complexity Bounds of Trust-Region Stochastic Sequential Quadratic Programming with Heavy-Tailed Noise
Yuchen Fang, Javad Lavaei, Sen Na
In this paper, we consider nonlinear optimization problems with a stochastic objective and deterministic equality constraints. We propose a Trust-Region Stochastic Sequential Quadr…

A theory on the absence of spurious solutions for nonconvex and nonsmooth optimization
Cedric Josz, Yi Ouyang, Richard Y. Zhang +2
We study the set of continuous functions that admit no spurious local optima (i.e. local minima that are not global minima) which we term \textit{global functions}. They satisfy va…
