The problem of assessing the performance of algorithms used for the minimization of an $ell_1$-penalized least-squares functional, for a range of penalty parameters, is investigated. A criterion that uses the idea of `approximation isochrones is introduced. Five different iterative minimization algorithms are tested and compared, as well as two warm-start strategies. Both well-conditioned and ill-conditioned problems are used in the comparison, and the contrast between these two categories is highlighted.

L1Packv2 is a Mathematica package that contains a number of algorithms that can be used for the minimization of an $ell_1$-penalized least squares functional. The algorithms can handle a mix of penalized and unpenalized variables. Several instructive examples are given. Also, an implementation that yields an exact output whenever exact data are given is provided.
We consider a low-rank tensor completion (LRTC) problem which aims to recover a tensor from incomplete observations. LRTC plays an important role in many applications such as signal processing, computer vision, machine learning, and neuroscience. A widely used approach is to combine the tensor completion data fitting term with a regularizer based on a convex relaxation of the multilinear ranks of the tensor. For the data fitting function, we model the tensor variable by using the Canonical Polyadic (CP) decomposition and for the low-rank promoting regularization function, we consider a graph Laplacian-based function which exploits correlations between the rows of the matrix unfoldings. For solving our LRTC model, we propose an efficient alternating minimization algorithm. Furthermore, based on the Kurdyka-{L}ojasiewicz property, we show that the sequence generated by the proposed algorithm globally converges to a critical point of the objective function. Besides, an alternating direction method of multipliers algorithm is also developed for the LRTC model. Extensive numerical experiments on synthetic and real data indicate that the proposed algorithms are effective and efficient.
The recursive least-squares algorithm with $ell_1$-norm regularization ($ell_1$-RLS) exhibits excellent performance in terms of convergence rate and steady-state error in identification of sparse systems. Nevertheless few works have studied its stochastic behavior, in particular its transient performance. In this letter, we derive analytical models of the transient behavior of the $ell_1$-RLS in the mean and mean-square sense. Simulation results illustrate the accuracy of these models.
Entropy functionals (i.e. convex integral functionals) and extensions of these functionals are minimized on convex sets. This paper is aimed at reducing as much as possible the assumptions on the constraint set. Dual equalities and characterizations of the minimizers are obtained with weak constraint qualifications.
A systematic mathematical framework for the study of numerical algorithms would allow comparisons, facilitate conjugacy arguments, as well as enable the discovery of improved, accelerated, data-driven algorithms. Over the course of the last century, the Koopman operator has provided a mathematical framework for the study of dynamical systems, which facilitates conjugacy arguments and can provide efficient reduced descriptions. More recently, numerical approximations of the operator have enabled the analysis of a large number of deterministic and stochastic dynamical systems in a completely data-driven, essentially equation-free pipeline. Discrete or continuous time numerical algorithms (integrators, nonlinear equation solvers, optimization algorithms) are themselves dynamical systems. In this paper, we use this insight to leverage the Koopman operator framework in the data-driven study of such algorithms and discuss benefits for analysis and acceleration of numerical computation. For algorithms acting on high-dimensional spaces by quickly contracting them towards low-dimensional manifolds, we demonstrate how basis functions adapted to the data help to construct efficient reduced representations of the operator. Our illustrative examples include the gradient descent and Nesterov optimization algorithms, as well as the Newton-Raphson algorithm.
