arXiv:2507. 19895v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: In this paper, we study the distributed linear quadratic problem with fixed communication topology (DFT-LQ) and the sparse feedback linear quadratic (SF-LQ) problem through a unified optimization framework.
arXiv:2409. 19279v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Continuous-time models can reveal accelerated structures in distributed optimization, but their rates need not survive direct discretization.
arXiv:2606. 28307v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We analyze Bregman ADMM for nonconvex linearly constrained problems under two-sided relative smoothness, a condition that replaces the standard Lipschitz gradient assumption with a Hessian comparison relative to a Bregman kernel.
arXiv:2601. 21487v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We study minimization of smooth functions over feasible sets that have smooth embedded-manifold structure throughout or only on selected regions, using linear minimization oracles (LMOs) to determine search directions under user-chosen norms.

arXiv:2607. 01755v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: In this paper, we consider the nonsmooth nonconvex decentralized optimization problem, where inter-agent communication is compressed.
arXiv:2606. 11431v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Mirror Descent (MD) extends Gradient Descent (GD) beyond Euclidean geometry and has recently reappeared as a lens for KL-regularized policy optimization in reinforcement learning and LLM post-training.
arXiv:2607. 25624v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Positive quadratic networks admit the low-rank representation f_U(x)=x^top UU^top x, where Uinmathbb{R}^{dtimes r} is identifiable only up to right orthogonal multiplication, representing a rank-r PSD matrix Q=UU^top.
arXiv:2509. 07779v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We study decentralized online Riemannian optimization over manifolds with possibly positive curvature, going beyond the Hadamard manifold setting.
arXiv:2302. 09832v4 Announce Type: replace Abstract: In distributed optimization and federated learning, slow and costly communication between parallel devices and the central server constitutes the primary bottleneck.
arXiv:2607. 22004v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Energy natural gradient descent (ENGD) aligns parameter updates with the curvature of an underlying function-space energy, but existing formulations assume an unconstrained Euclidean parameter domain.
arXiv:2606. 07574v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Manifold-constrained hyper-connections (mHCs) have recently been proposed as a principled extension of hyper-connections, where the residual mixing matrices are constrained to be doubly stochastic via projection onto the Birkhoff polytope.
arXiv:2605. 08488v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We develop a unified Lyapunov-integral quadratic constraint (IQC) framework for establishing uniform stability of first-order accelerated optimization algorithms in the $\beta$-smooth and $\gamma$-strongly convex regime.
