We consider a new class of huge-scale problems, the problems with sparse subgradients. The most important functions of this type are piece-wise linear. For optimization problems with uniform sparsity of corresponding linear operators, we suggest a very efficient implementation of subgradient...

We provide Frank-Wolfe (= Conditional Gradients) method with a convergence analysis allowing to approach a primal-dual solution of convex optimization problem with composite objective function. Additional properties of complementary part of the objective (strong convexity) significantly...

In this paper, we present new methods for black-box convex minimization. They do not need to know in advance the actual level of smoothness of the objective function. The only essential input parameter is the required accuracy of the solution. At the same time, for each particular problem class...

In this paper, we prove the complexity bounds for methods of Convex Optimization based only on computation of the function value. The search directions of our schemes are normally distributed random Gaussian vectors. It appears that such methods usually need at most n times more iterations than...

In this paper, we analyze different first-order methods of smooth convex optimization employing inexact first-order information. We introduce the notion of an approximate first-order oracle. The list of examples of such an oracle includes smoothing technique, Moreau-Yosida regularization,...

In this paper, we propose an efficient technique for solving some infinite-dimensional problems over the sets of functions of time. In our problem, besides the convex point-wise constraints on state variables, we have convex coupling constraints with finite-dimensional image. Hence, we can...
