On Steepest Descent Algorithms for Discrete Convex Functions
This paper investigates the complexity of steepest descent algorithms for two classes of discrete convex functions, M-convex functions and L-convex functions. Simple tie-breaking rules yield complexity bounds that are polynomials in the dimension of the variables and the size of the effective domain. Combination of the present results with a standard scaling approach leads to an efficient algor...
متن کاملMATHEMATICAL ENGINEERING TECHNICAL REPORTS Discrete L-/M-Convex Function Minimization Based on Continuous Relaxation
We consider the problem of minimizing a nonlinear discrete function with L-/M-convexity proposed in the theory of discrete convex analysis. For this problem, steepest descent algorithms and steepest descent scaling algorithms are known. In this paper, we use continuous relaxation approach which minimizes the continuous variable version first in order to find a good initial solution of a steepes...
متن کاملA Modified Algorithm of Steepest Descent Method for Solving Unconstrained Nonlinear Optimization Problems
The steepest descent method (SDM), which can be traced back to Cauchy (1847), is the simplest gradient method for unconstrained optimization problem. The SDM is effective for well-posed and low-dimensional nonlinear optimization problems without constraints; however, for a large-dimensional system, it converges very slowly. Therefore, a modified steepest decent method (MSDM) is developed to dea...
متن کاملSubmodularity on a Tree: Unifying $L^\natural$ -Convex and Bisubmodular Functions
We introduce a new class of functions that can be minimized in polynomial time in the value oracle model. These are functions f satisfying f(x) + f(y) ≥ f(x ⊓ y) + f(x ⊔ y) where the domain of each variable xi corresponds to nodes of a rooted binary tree, and operations ⊓,⊔ are defined with respect to this tree. Special cases include previously studied L-convex and bisubmodular functions, which...
متن کاملSVM-Optimization and Steepest-Descent Line Search
We consider (a subclass of) convex quadratic optimization problems and analyze decomposition algorithms that perform, at least approximately, steepest-descent exact line search. We show that these algorithms, when implemented properly, are within ǫ of optimality after O(log 1/ǫ) iterations for strictly convex cost functions, and after O(1/ǫ) iterations in the general case. Our analysis is gener...
