A semi-smooth Newton method for solving convex quadratic programming problem under simplicial cone constraint.
Abstract: In this work the simplicial cone constrained convex quadratic programming problem is studied. The optimality conditions of this problem consist in a linear complementarity problem. This fact, under a suitable condition, leads to an equivalence between the simplicial cone constrained convex quadratic programming problem and the one of finding the unique solution of a nonsmooth system of equations. It is shown that a semi-smooth Newton method applied to this nonsmooth system of equations is always well defined and under a mild assumption on the simplicial cone the method generates a sequence that converges linearly to its solution. Besides, we also show that the generated sequence is bounded for any starting point and a formula for any accumulation point of this sequence is presented. The presented numerical results suggest that this approach achieves accurate solutions to large problems in few iterations.

A STRONGLY POLYNOMIAL-TIME ALGORITHM FOR THE STRICT HOMOGENEOUS LINEAR-INEQUALITY FEASIBILITY PROBLEM
Abstract: A strongly polynomial-time algorithm is proposed for the strict homogeneous linear-inequality feasibility problem in the positive outhunt, that is, to obtain x ? Rn, such that Ax > 0, x > 0, for an m x n matrix A. This algorithm requires O(p) iterations and O(m2  (n+p)) arithmetical operations to ensure that the distance between the solution and the iteration is 10-p . No matrix inversion is needed. An extension to the non-homogeneous linear feasibility problem is presented.

An Approach on the Proximal Point Method on Riemannian Manifolds
Abstract: In this talk will be presented an approach on the proximal point method in Riemannian context. In particular, without any restrictive assumption about the sign of the sectional curvature of the manifold, is obtained full convergence of any bounded sequence generated from the proximal point method, when the objective function satisfies the Kurdyka-Lojasiewicz inequality. Moreover, is extended the applicability of the proximal point method to solving any problem which may be formulated as the of minimizing a definable function (e.g. analytic) restricted to a compact manifold whose sign of the sectional curvature not is necessarily constant.

Augmented Lagrangian methods for nonlinear programming with possible infeasibility
Abstract:  We consider a nonlinear programming problem for which the constraint set may be infeasible. We propose an algorithm based on a large family of augmented Lagrangian functions and, accepting inexact global solutions of the subproblems, analyze its convergence properties taking into account the possible infeasibility of the problem. In a finite number of iterations, the algorithm stops detecting the infeasibility of the problem or finds an approximate feasible/optimal solution with any required precision. We present some numerical experiments illustrating the applicability of the algorithm for different Lagrangian/penalty functions proposed in the literature.

Proximal point method for a special class of nonconvex  multiobjective optimization problem
Abstract: The proximal method for  special class of nonconvex multiobjective  functions is studied in this paper. We show that the method is well defined and  the  accumulation points of any generated sequence, if any,  are Pareto-Clarke critical points. Moreover,  under additional assumptions,  we show full convergence of the generated sequence.

On the convergence of the proximal forward-backward splitting method with linesearches
Abstract: In this talk we focus on the convergence analysis of the proximal forward-backward splitting method for solving nonsmooth optimization problems in Hilbert spaces when the objective function is the sum of two convex functions. Assuming that one of the functions is Fréchet differentiable and using two new linesearches, the weak convergence is established without any Lipschitz continuity assumption on the gradient. Furthermore, we obtain many complexity results of cost values at the iterates when the stepsizes are bounded below by a positive constant. A fast version with linesearch is also provided.

A variante Barzilai-Borwein do Método do Gradiente
Resumo: Devido a sua simplicidade e eficiência, a variante do Método do Gradiente proposta por Barzilai e Borwein, em 1988, chama a atenção. Este algoritmo gera uma sequencia com valores funcionais não monótona, e a analise de convergência da sequencia assim gerada se revela muito complexa e fora dos padrões. Neste seminário apresentaremos o estudo realizado por Y.H. Dai, publicado em 2013, mostrando que para o caso de duas variáveis e quando a função objetivo for quadrática e convexa, temos convergência R-superliner em no máximo três iterados consecutivas.
