In this work, we address a question that has attracted intense interest in recent years: whether machine learning-assisted algorithms can genuinely outperform classical approaches in challenging ...

Abstract: We consider a wide range of non-convex regularized minimization problems, where the non-convex regularization term is composite with a linear function engaged in sparse learning. Recent ...

Abstract: We propose a Newton-type alternating minimization algorithm (NAMA) for solving structured nonsmooth convex optimization problems where the sum of two functions is to be minimized, one being ...

Cart-pole swing-up: Find the force profile to apply to the cart to swing-up the pendulum that freely hanges from it. Compute the gait (joint angles, rates, and torques) for a walking robot that ...

Dedicated to the late Professor M. J. D. Powell FRS (1936–2015). To use the Python version of PDFO on Linux, Mac, or Windows, you need Python (version 3.8 or above). It is highly recommended to ...

Multiple objectives to be optimized simultaneously are prevalent in real-life problems. This paper develops a new Pareto Method for bi-objective optimization which yields analytical solutions. The ...
