In this paper we propose new efficient gradient schemes for two non-trivial classes of linear programming problems. These schemes are designed to compute approximate solutions withrelative accuracy . We prove that the upper complexity bound for both ln schemes is O( n m ln n) iterations of a...

In this paper we propose an accelerated version of the cubic regularization of Newton's method [6]. The original version, used for minimizing a convex function with Lipschitz-continuous Hessian, guarantees a global rate of convergence of order O(1/k exp.2), where k is the iteration counter. Our...

In this paper we develop a new primal-dual subgradient method for nonsmooth convex optimization problems. This scheme is based on a self-concordant barrier for the basic feasible set. It is suitable for finding approximate solutions with certain relative accuracy. We discuss some applications of...

In this paper we propose a new interior-point method, which is based on an extension of the ideas of self-scaled optimization to the general cases. We suggest using the primal correction process to find a scaling point. This point is used to compute a strictly feasible primal-dual pair by simple...

In this paper we introduce a new primal-dual technique for convergence analysis of gradient schemes for non-smooth convex optimization. As an example of its application, we derive a primal-dual gradient method for a special class of structured non-smooth optimization problems, which ensures a...

In many applications it is possible to justify a reasonable bound for possible variation of subgradients of objective function rather than for their uniform magnitude. In this paper we develop a new class of efficient primal-dual subgradient schemes for such problem classes.

We consider the single-facility location problem with mixed norms, i.e. the problem of minimizing the sum of the distances from a point to a set of fixed points in R, where each distance can be measured according to a different p-norm.We show how this problem can be expressed into a structured...

In this paper we present a new approach to constructing schemes for unconstrained convex minimization, which compute approximate solutions with a certain relative accuracy. This approach is based on a special conic model of the unconstrained minimization problem. Using a structural model of the...

In this paper we present a new approach for constructing subgradient schemes for different types of nonsmooth problems with convex structure. Our methods are primaldual since they are always able to generate a feasible approximation to the optimum of an appropriately formulated dual problem....

In this paper we derive effciency estimates of the regularized Newton's method as applied to constrained convex minimization problems and to variational inequalities. We study a one- step Newton's method and its multistep accelerated version, which converges on smooth convex problems as O( 1 k3...
