Message-Passing Algorithms for MAP Estimation Using DC Programming
We address the problem of finding the most likely assignment or MAP estimation in a Markov random field. We analyze the linear programming formulation of MAP through the lens of...

Convex Games in Banach Spaces
We study the regret of an online learner playing a multi-round game in a Banach space B against an adversary that plays a convex function at each round. We characterize the minima...

On the second conjugate of several convex functions in general normed vector spaces
When dealing with convex functions defined on a normed vector space X the biconjugate is usually considered with respect to the dual system (X, X ), that is, as a function defined...

The Newton Bracketing method for the minimization of convex functions subject to affine constraints
The Newton Bracketing method [9] for the minimization of convex functions f : Rn R is extended to affinely constrained convex minimization problems. The results are illustrated for...

An algorithm for bounded-error identification of nonlinear systems based on DC functions
This paper presents a guaranteed method for the parameter estimation of nonlinear models in a bounded-error context. This method is based on functions which consists of the differ...

Distributed subgradient projection algorithm for convex optimization
—We consider constrained minimization of a sum of convex functions over a convex and compact set, when each component function is known only to a specific agent in a timevarying...
