HUANet unrolls ADMM iterations into a trainable network that enforces equality constraints exactly via a differentiable correction layer and adds soft first-order optimality conditions during training.
Bayesian ddLQR adds posterior uncertainty to the design, decomposing expected cost into certainty-equivalence plus variance terms, proving indirect-direct equivalence, and producing a data-length-independent SDP.
A surrogate for parametric nonconvex optimization is constructed as the minimum of convex-monotonic function compositions and solved via parallel convex optimization, with a proof-of-concept on path tracking.
Establishes O(√ν ln(1/ε)) iteration complexity for path-following smoothing Newton methods on symmetric cone programs via a new self-concordant reduced barrier augmented Lagrangian function and associated central path analysis.
