Global Convergence of Model Function Based Bregman Proximal Minimization Algorithms
Lipschitz continuity of the gradient mapping of a continuously differentiable function plays a crucial role in designing various optimization algorithms. However, many functions arising in practical applications such as low rank matrix factorization or deep neural network problems do not have a Lipschitz continuous gradient. This led to the development of a generalized notion known as the $L$-smad property, which is based on generalized proximity measures called Bregman distances. However, the $L$-smad property cannot handle nonsmooth functions, for example, simple nonsmooth functions like $\abs{x^4-1}$ and also many practical composite problems are out of scope. We fix this issue by proposing the MAP property, which generalizes the $L$-smad property and is also valid for a large class of nonconvex nonsmooth composite problems. Based on the proposed MAP property, we propose a globally convergent algorithm called Model BPG, that unifies several existing algorithms. The convergence analysis is based on a new Lyapunov function. We also numerically illustrate the superior performance of Model BPG on standard phase retrieval problems, robust phase retrieval problems, and Poisson linear inverse problems, when compared to a state of the art optimization method that is valid for generic nonconvex nonsmooth optimization problems.

Block Alternating Bregman Majorization Minimization with Extrapolation
In this paper, we consider a class of nonsmooth nonconvex optimization problems whose objective is the sum of a block relative smooth function and a proper and lower semicontinuous block separable function. Although the …
Provable Bregman-divergence based Methods for Nonconvex and Non-Lipschitz Problems
The (global) Lipschitz smoothness condition is crucial in establishing the convergence theory for most optimization methods. Unfortunately, most machine learning and signal processing problems are not Lipschitz smooth. T…
Variable Bregman Majorization-Minimization Algorithm and its Application to Dirichlet Maximum Likelihood Estimation
We propose a novel Bregman descent algorithm for minimizing a convex function that is expressed as the sum of a differentiable part (defined over an open set) and a possibly nonsmooth term. The approach, referred to as t…
