dc.description.abstract | In this paper, a nonsmooth optimization method for locally Lipschitz functions on real algebraic varieties is developed. To this end, the set-valued map ε-conditional subdifferential x → ∂Nεf(x) := ∂εf(x) + N (x) is introduced, where ∂εf(x) is the Goldstein-ε-subdifferential and N (x) is a closed convex cone at x. It is proved that negative of the shortest ε-conditional subgradient provides a descent direction in T (x), which denotes the polar of N (x). The ε-conditional subdifferential at an iterate xℓ can be approximated by a convex hull of a finite set of projected gradients at sampling points in xℓ + εℓBT(xℓ) (0, 1) to T(xℓ), where T(xℓ) is a linear space in the Bouligand tangent cone and BT(xℓ)(0, 1) denotes the unit ball in T(xℓ). The negative of the shortest vector in this convex hull is shown to be a descent direction in the Bouligand tangent cone at xℓ. The proposed algorithm makes a step along this descent direction with a certain step-size rule, followed by a retraction to lift back to points on the algebraic variety ℳ. The convergence of the resulting algorithm to a critical point is proved. For numerical illustration, the considered method is applied to some nonsmooth problems on varieties of low-rank matrices M≤r of real M × N matrices of rank at most r, specifically robust low-rank matrix approximation and recovery in the presence of outliers. | en |
