牛顿法在自协调函数极小值附近的最佳步长

Optimal step length for the Newton method near the minimum of a self-concordant function

Roland Hildebrand

摘要:

在圆锥规划的路径跟踪方法中,(阻尼)牛顿法在离自协调函数的最小值有限距离处的性能的知识对于调整方法的参数是至关重要的。可用的进度和步长的界限是基于不同点处的Hessian之间的保守关系,因此是次优的。在这方面的贡献,我们使用最优控制理论的方法来计算的最佳步长的牛顿法的自协调函数的类,作为一个功能的初始牛顿减量,以及由此产生的最坏情况下减少的减量。精确的界限表示的常微分方程的解决方案,不能显式集成。我们提供了近似的数值和解析表达式,这些表达式足够精确,可用于最优化方法。作为应用,可以扩大路径跟踪方法的迭代所需停留的中心路径的邻域,使得在每次迭代期间沿着中心路径的进展更快,因此实现给定精度的迭代次数更少。

英文摘要:

In path-following methods for conic programming knowledge of the performance of the (damped) Newton method at finite distances from the minimizer of a self-concordant function is crucial for the tuning of the parameters of the method. The available bounds on the progress and the step length to be used are based on conservative relations between the Hessians at different points and are hence sub-optimal. In this contribution we use methods of optimal control theory to compute the optimal step length of the Newton method on the class of self-concordant functions, as a function of the initial Newton decrement, and the resulting worst-case decrease of the decrement. The exact bounds are expressed in terms of solutions of ordinary differential equations which cannot be integrated explicitly. We provide approximate numerical and analytic expressions which are accurate enough for use in optimization methods. As an application, the neighbourhood of the central path in which the iterates of path-following methods are required to stay can be enlarged, enabling faster progress along the central path during each iteration and hence fewer iterations to achieve a given accuracy.
