Open issues and recent advances in DC programming and DCA

HA Le Thi, T Pham Dinh - Journal of Global Optimization, 2024 - Springer
DC (difference of convex functions) programming and DC algorithm (DCA) are powerful
tools for nonsmooth nonconvex optimization. This field was created in 1985 by Pham Dinh …

The boosted difference of convex functions algorithm for nonsmooth functions

FJ Aragón Artacho, PT Vuong - SIAM Journal on Optimization, 2020 - SIAM
The boosted difference of convex functions algorithm (BDCA) was recently proposed for
minimizing smooth difference of convex (DC) functions. BDCA accelerates the convergence …

The ABC of DC programming

W de Oliveira - Set-Valued and Variational Analysis, 2020 - Springer
A function is called DC if it is expressible as the difference of two convex functions. In this
work, we present a short tutorial on difference-of-convex optimization surveying and …

Convergence Analysis of the Proximal Gradient Method in the Presence of the Kurdyka–Łojasiewicz Property Without Global Lipschitz Assumptions

X Jia, C Kanzow, P Mehlitz - SIAM Journal on Optimization, 2023 - SIAM
We consider a composite optimization problem where the sum of a continuously
differentiable and a merely lower semicontinuous function has to be minimized. The …

On strongly quasiconvex functions: existence results and proximal point algorithms

F Lara - Journal of Optimization Theory and Applications, 2022 - Springer
We prove that every strongly quasiconvex function is 2-supercoercive (in particular,
coercive). Furthermore, we investigate the usual properties of proximal operators for strongly …

Coderivative-based semi-Newton method in nonsmooth difference programming

FJ Aragón-Artacho, BS Mordukhovich… - Mathematical …, 2024 - Springer
This paper addresses the study of a new class of nonsmooth optimization problems, where
the objective is represented as a difference of two generally nonconvex functions. We …

Large-scale optimization of partial auc in a range of false positive rates

Y Yao, Q Lin, T Yang - Advances in Neural Information …, 2022 - proceedings.neurips.cc
The area under the ROC curve (AUC) is one of the most widely used performance measures
for classification models in machine learning. However, it summarizes the true positive rates …

linearized minimization algorithms using Bregman distances for solving structured …

Local convergence of the Levenberg–Marquardt method under Hölder metric subregularity

M Ahookhosh, FJ Aragón Artacho, RMT Fleming… - Advances in …, 2019 - Springer
We describe and analyse Levenberg–Marquardt methods for solving systems of nonlinear
equations. More specifically, we propose an adaptive formula for the Levenberg–Marquardt …
