Computer science description: This paper proposes two proximal Newton methods for convex nonsmooth optimization problems in composite form. The algorithms are based on a new continuously differentiable exact penalty function, namely the Composite Moreau Envelope. The first algorithm is based on a standard line search strategy, whereas the second one combines the global efficiency estimates of the corresponding first-order methods, while achieving fast asymptotic convergence rates. Furthermore, they are computationally attractive since each Newton iteration requires the solution of a linear system of usually small dimension. publisher: IEEE date: 2013-12 type: Book Section type: PeerReviewed identifier: Patrinos, Panagiotis and Bemporad, Alberto Proximal Newton methods for convex composite optimization.
