Description
In this talk, we describe an inexact proximal regularization algorithm for solving a smooth unconstrained minimization problem. We consider the minimization problem \min_{x \in \mathbb{R}^n} f(x), where $f : \mathbb{R}^n \longrightarrow \mathbb{R}$ is a smooth function. Starting from an initial point $x_0 \in \mathbb{R}^n$, at iteration $k \in \mathbb{N}$, a solution $x_{k+1}$ is computed by approximately solving the problem \min_{x \in \mathbb{R}^n}\varphi_k(x) := f(x) + \frac{\theta_k}{2}\|x - x_k\|^2 where $\theta_k > 0$ is a given parameter. We present the algorithm and compare it with the existing algorithms. We present also some convergence results and numerical experiments.
