报告内容1To construct a parallel approach for solving orthogonally constrained optimization problems is usually regarded as an extremely difficult mission, due to the low scalability of orthogonalization procedure. In this talk, we propose an infeasible algorithm for solving optimization problems with orthogonality constraints, in which orthogonalization is no longer needed at each iteration, and hence the algorithm can be parallelized. We also establish a global subsequence convergence and a worst-case complexity for our proposed algorithm. Numerical experiments illustrate that the new algorithm attains a good performance and a high scalability in solving discretized Kohn-Sham total energy minimization problems.

报告内容2We study the problem of clustering a set of objects into groups according to a certain measure of similarity among the objects. This is one of the basic problems in data processing with various applications ranging from computer science to social analysis. We propose a new continuous model for this problem, the idea being to seek a balance between maximizing the number of clusters and minimizing the similarity among the objects from distinct clusters. Adopting the methodology of spectral clustering, our model quantifies the number of clusters via the rank of a graph Laplacian, and then relaxes rank minimization to trace minimization with orthogonal constraints. We analyze the properties of our model, propose a block coordinate descent algorithm for it, and establish the global convergence of the algorithm. We then demonstrate our model and algorithm by several numerical examples.

This is a joint work with Xin Liu (Chinese Academy of Sciences), Michael Ng (Hong Kong Baptist University), and Rui Zhang (Chinese Academy of Sciences).
