In a Hilbert space $H$, in order to develop fast optimization methods, we analyze the asymptotic behavior, as time $t$ tends to infinity, of inertial continuous dynamics where the damping acts as a closed-loop control. The function $f: H \to R$ to be minimized (not necessarily convex) enters the dynamic through it gradient, which is assumed to be L...

Recently, there has been a great interest in analysing dynamical flows, where the stationary limit is the minimiser of a convex energy. Particular flows of great interest have been continuous limits of Nesterov’s algorithm and the fast iterative shrinkage-thresholding algorithm, respectively. In this paper, we approach the solutions of linear ill-p...

In this paper, we study a class of nonconvex and nonsmooth structured difference-of-convex (DC) programs, which contain in the convex part the sum of a nonsmooth linearly composed convex function and a differentiable function, and in the concave part another nonsmooth linearly composed convex function. Among the various areas in which such problems...

It is known that if a twice differentiable function has a Lipschitz continuous Hessian, then its gradients satisfy a Jensen-type inequality. In particular, this inequality is Hessian-free in the sense that the Hessian does not actually appear in the inequality. In this paper, we show that the converse holds in a generalized setting: if a continuos...

In a real Hilbert space, we consider two classical problems: the global minimization of a smooth and convex function $f$ (i.e., a convex optimization problem) and finding the zeros of a monotone and continuous operator $V$ (i.e., a monotone equation). Attached to the optimization problem, first we study the asymptotic properties of the trajectories...

In this work, we approach the problem of finding the zeros of a continuous and monotone operator through a second-order dynamical system with a damping term of the form $1/t^{r}$, where $r\in [0, 1]$.
