A refined convergence analysis of pDCA$_e$ with applications to simultaneous sparse recovery and outlier detection

no code implementations19 Apr 2018 Tianxiang Liu, Ting Kei Pong, Akiko Takeda

Moreover, for a large class of loss functions and regularizers, the KL exponent of the corresponding potential function are shown to be 1/2, which implies that the pDCA$_e$ is locally linearly convergent when applied to these problems.

A successive difference-of-convex approximation method for a class of nonconvex nonsmooth optimization problems

no code implementations16 Oct 2017 Tianxiang Liu, Ting Kei Pong, Akiko Takeda

We consider a class of nonconvex nonsmooth optimization problems whose objective is the sum of a smooth function and a finite number of nonnegative proper closed possibly nonsmooth functions (whose proximal mappings are easy to compute), some of which are further composed with linear maps.

Further properties of the forward-backward envelope with applications to difference-of-convex programming

no code implementations1 May 2016 Tianxiang Liu, Ting Kei Pong

In this paper, we further study the forward-backward envelope first introduced in [28] and [30] for problems whose objective is the sum of a proper closed convex function and a twice continuously differentiable possibly nonconvex function with Lipschitz continuous gradient.
