Global random optimization by simultaneous perturbation stochastic approximation
We examine the theoretical and numerical global convergence properties of a certain "gradient free" stochastic approximation algorithm called the "simultaneous pertu...

Fast global convergence of gradient methods for high-dimensional statistical recovery
Many statistical M-estimators are based on convex optimization problems formed by the weighted sum of a loss function with a norm-based regularizer. We analyze the convergence rat...

A Second Derivative SQP Method: Global Convergence
Abstract. Sequential quadratic programming (SQP) methods form a class of highly efficient algorithms for solving nonlinearly constrained optimization problems. Although second deri...
