A Smoothed Augmented Lagrangian Method for Mathematical Programs with Vertical Complementarity Constraints

Jia Wang, Andreas Themelis, Panagiotis Patrinos

We propose a smoothed augmented Lagrangian method (ALM) for solving mathematical programs with vertical complementarity constraints (VCCs). The augmented Lagrangian function involv…

An Adaptive Linesearch-free Method for Monotone Variational Inequalities under Local Lipschitz Continuity

Hongjia Ou, Andreas Themelis, Puya Latafat

The forward-reflected-backward (FRB) splitting solves inclusion problems involving the sum of a maximally monotone operator and a monotone Lipschitz continuous operator. Each itera…

Linesearch-free adaptive Bregman proximal gradient for convex minimization under local relative smoothness

Hongjia Ou, Puya Latafat, Andreas Themelis

This paper introduces adaptive Bregman proximal gradient algorithms for solving convex composite minimization problems without relying on global relative smoothness or strong conve…

A Lasry-Lions envelope approach for mathematical programs with complementarity constraints

Jia Wang, Andreas Themelis, Ivan Markovsky +1

We propose a homotopy method for solving mathematical programs with complementarity constraints (CCs). The indicator function of the CCs is relaxed by the Lasry--Lions double envel…

Bregman level proximal subdifferentials and new characterizations of Bregman proximal operators

Ziyuan Wang, Andreas Themelis

Classic subdifferentials in variational analysis may fail to fully represent the Bregman proximal operator in the absence of convexity. In this paper, we fill this gap by introduci…
