Accelerated First-Order Primal-Dual Proximal Methods for Linearly Constrained Composite Convex Programming [PDF]
Motivated by big data applications, first-order methods have been extremely popular in recent years. However, naive gradient methods generally converge slowly. Hence, much efforts have been made to accelerate various first-order methods.

SDP Duals without Duality Gaps for a Class of Convex Minimax Programs
In this paper we introduce a new dual program, which is representable as a semi-definite linear programming problem, for a primal convex minimax programming model problem and show that there is no duality gap between the primal and the dual whenever the ...

Nonparametric estimation by convex programming
The problem we concentrate on is as follows: given (1) a convex compact set $X$ in ${\mathbb{R}}^n$, an affine mapping $x\mapsto A(x)$, a parametric family $\{p_{\mu}(\cdot)\}$ of probability densities and (2) $N$ i.i.d.

A Note on Optimality Conditions for DC Programs Involving Composite Functions
By using the formula of the ε-subdifferential for the sum of a convex function with a composition of convex functions, some necessary and sufficient optimality conditions for a DC programming problem involving a composite function are obtained.

Convex Programs for Temporal Verification of Nonlinear Dynamical Systems [PDF]
A methodology for safety verification of continuous and hybrid systems using barrier certificates has been proposed recently. Conditions that must be satisfied by a barrier certificate can be formulated as a convex program, and the feasibility of the ...
