报告摘要:The primary focus of this work is to design algorithms for solving large-scale problems with each subproblem being solved inexactly. The performance of this type of algorithms crucially replies on the termination criterion of terminating the subproblem solve. This tutorial propose a new termination criterion using Fenchel-Rockafellar Duality. Based on this technique, three inexact algorithms were designed. The first one is an inexact sequential quadratic programming algorithm (SQP), the second one is an inexact successive linear programming (SLP), and the last one is an inexact gradient projection method. By controlling the inexactness of the subproblem solution, we can significantly reduce the computational cost needed at each iteration. Global convergence for both feasible and infeasible cases is proved. Complexity analysis for the optimality residual is also derived under loose assumptions. Numerical experiments exhibit the ability of the proposed algorithm to rapidly find optimal solution through cheap computational cost.

报告摘要:Ultra-dense network (UDN) is a promising technology to further evolve wireless networks and meet the diverse performance requirements of 5G networks. With abundant access points, each with communication, computation and storage resources, UDN brings unprecedented benefits, including significant improvement in network spectral efficiency and energy efficiency, greatly reduced latency to enable intelligent mobile applications, and the capability of providing massive access for Internet of Things (IoT) devices. However, such great promises come with formidable research challenges. To design and operate such complex networks with various types of resources, efficient and innovative methodologies will be needed. This motivates the recent introduction of highly structured and generalizable models for network optimization. This tutorial shall present recent advances in structured sparse and generalized low-rank techniques for optimizing UDNs, with a comprehensive coverage including modeling, algorithm design, and theoretical analysis. Through motivating applications (e.g., mobile edge caching and wireless distributed learning), the powerfulness of this set of tools will be demonstrated, and their abilities in solving key design problems in UDNs will be highlighted. A special attention is paid on algorithmic approaches to deal with nonconvex objective functions and constraints, as well as computational scalability.
