DESCRIPTION:Title: <a href="https://researchseminars.org/talk/OWOS/32/">Ac
 celeration of First-Order Optimization Algorithms via Inertial Dynamics wi
 th Hessian Driven Damping</a>\nby Hedy Attouch (University of Montpellier)
  as part of One World Optimization seminar\n\n\nAbstract\nIn a Hilbert spa
 ce\, for convex optimization\, we report on recent advances regarding the 
 acceleration of first-order algorithms. We rely on inertial dynamics with 
 damping driven by the Hessian\, and the link between continuous dynamic sy
 stems and algorithms obtained by temporal discretization. We first review 
 the classical results\, from Polyak's heavy ball with friction method to N
 esterov's accelerated gradient method. Then we introduce the damping drive
 n by the Hessian which intervenes in the dynamic in the form $\\nabla^2f(x
 (t))\\dot{x}(t)$. By treating this term as the time derivative of $\\nabla
  f(x(t))$\, this gives\, in discretized form\, first-order algorithms. As 
 a fundamental property\, this geometric damping makes it possible to atten
 uate the oscillations. In addition to the fast convergence of the values\,
  the algorithms thus obtained show a rapid convergence towards zero of the
  gradients. The introduction of time scale factors further accelerates the
 se algorithms. On the basis of a regularization technique using the Moreau
  envelope\, we extend the method to non-smooth convex functions with exten
 ded real values. Numerical results for structured optimization problems su
 pport our theoretical findings. Finally\, we evoke recent development conc
 erning the extension of these results to the case of general monotone incl
 usions\, inertial ADMM algorithms\, dry friction\, inexact/stochastic case
 \, thus showing the versatility of the method.\n\nThis lecture is based on
