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. date: 2013-12 date_type: published publisher: IEEE pagerange: 2358-2363 event_title: Decision and Control (CDC), 2013 IEEE 52nd Annual Conference on id_number: 10.1109/CDC.2013.6760233 refereed: TRUE isbn: 978-1-4673-5714-2 book_title: 52nd IEEE Conference on Decision and Control official_url: http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=6760233&isnumber=6759837 citation: Patrinos, Panagiotis and Bemporad, Alberto Proximal Newton methods for convex composite optimization.
