An Optimal High-Order Tensor Method for Convex Optimization

This paper is concerned with finding an optimal algorithm for minimizing a composite convex objective function. The basic setting is that the objective is the sum of two convex functions: the first…

Extinction and Quasi-Stationarity for Discrete-Time, Endemic SIS and SIR Models

Stochastic discrete-time susceptible--infected--susceptible (SIS) and susceptible--infected--recovered (SIR) models of endemic diseases are introduced and analyzed. For the deterministic, mean-fiel…

Unified Acceleration of High-Order Algorithms under General Holder Continuity

In this paper, through an intuitive vanilla proximal method perspective, we derive a concise unified acceleration framework (UAF) for minimizing a convex function that has Hölder continuous deriva…
