1 MATH 5720: Gradien Mehods Hung Phan, UMass Lowell Ocober 4, 208 Descen Direcion Mehods Consider he problem min { f(x) x R n}. The general descen direcions mehod is x k+ = x k + k d k where x k is he curren ieraion; x k+ is he nex ieraion; d k is a (descen) direcion; k is he sepsize. Le f : R n R be coninuously differeniable. A vecor d is called a descen direcion of f a x if he direcional derivaive f (x; d) is negaive f f(x + d) f(x) (x; d) = lim = f(x) T d < 0. 0 Example. Le f(x, x 2 ) = x 2 + x2 2 x x 2 2x. Check if d = (2, ) is a descen direcion of f a x = (, ). Soluion. f(x, x 2 ) = (2x x 2 2, 2x 2 x ). So f(x) = (, ). So f (x; d) = f(x) T d = < 0. Thus, d is a descen direcion. Theorem 2. Suppose d is a descen direcion, hen here exiss δ > 0 such ha f(x + d) < f(x) for all (0, δ). Schemaic descen direcions mehod: Pick a saring poin x 0. For k = 0,, 2,... (a) Pick a descen direcion d k. (b) Find a sepsize k such ha f(x k + k d k ) < f(x k ). (c) Se x k+ = x k + k d k. (d) If sopping crieria is saisfied, hen STOP, oherwise, go o (a). For descen direcions, here are many choices. For sepsize, he hree common choices are (i) consan sepsize: k = for all k. (ii) exac line search: k is a minimizer of f along he ray f(x k + d k ). (iii) backracking: Take s > 0, α, β (0, ). Firs, se k = s, hen while f(x k ) f(x k + k d k ) k < α f(x k ) T d k se k β k. The las opion finds a sepsize ha mees he sufficien decrease condiion f(x k ) f(x k + k d k ) k α f(x k ) T d k.

2 Example 3 (exac line search). Le f(x, x 2 ) = x 2 + x2 2 x x 2 2x. Perform an exac line search in direcion d. Soluion. To perform a line search on d, firs, g() = f(x + d) = f( + 2, + ) = ( + 2) 2 + ( + ) 2 ( + 2)( + ) 2( + 2) = 3 2 So we find he minimizer of g() over 0. Take g () = 6 = 0, so = 6. Since g () = 6 > 0 and g is quadraic, = 6 is he global minimizer. So, he exac line search on d yields = argmin f(x + d) = 6. 0 And we can check ha f(x) = f(, ) = and f(x + d) == f( 8 6, 7 6 ) = 3 2. Example 4 (exac line search for quadraic funcion). Le f(x) = x T Ax + 2b T x + c where A R n n is posiive definie, b R n and c R. Le x R n and d R n be a descen direcion of f a x. We will find an explici formula for he sepsize generaed by exac line search, i.e., a soluion of min f(x + d). 0 We have g() = f(x + d) = (x + d) T A(x + d) + 2b T (x + d) + c = (d T Ad) 2 + 2(d T Ax + d T b) + x T Ax + 2b T x + c = (d T Ad) 2 + 2(d T Ax + d T b) + f(x). Since g () = 2(d T Ad) + 2d T (Ax + b) and f(x) = 2(Ax + b), i follows ha g ( ) = 0 if and only if = dt f(x) 2d T Ad. Since d is a descen direcion, d T f(x) < 0, hence > 0. So is he desired soluion. Example 5 (backracking). Le f(x, x 2 ) = x 2 + x2 2 x x 2 2x and x = (, ). backracking in direcion d = (2, ) wih s =, α = 0.7, β = 0.5. Soluion. Firs, α f(x) T d = 0.7. We have he able So, backracking procedure produces = f(x) f(x+d) Perform Lemma 6 (validiy of sufficien decrease condiion). Suppose f : R n R is coninuously differeniable and d is a descen direcion a x, and α (0, ). Then here exiss δ > 0 such ha f(x) f(x + d) α f(x) T d for all (0, δ). 2

3 f(x + d) f(x) Proof. Since f is differeniable, we have lim = f (x; d) = f(x) T d < 0. 0 f(x + d) f(x) Thus, here exiss δ > 0 such ha < α f(x) T d for all (0, δ). 2 Gradien Mehod In he gradien mehod, he descen direcion is chosen o be he opposie of he gradien a he curren ieraion d k = f(x k ). Lemma 7. Le f be coninuously differeniable, and le x be a nonsaionary poin. opimal soluion of Then an Proof. For all d wih d =, min d { f (x; d) d R n, d = } is d = f(x) f(x). f (x; d) = f(x) T d f(x) d = f(x). Thus, f(x) is a lower bound for he problem. Now using d = f(x) f(x), we have f ( ) ( ) x, f(x) f(x) = f(x) T f(x) f(x) = f(x). So he lower bound is aained, which means f(x) f(x) is an opimal soluion (minimizer). The gradien mehod Inpu: ε > 0 olerance parameer and pick x 0 R n arbirarily. For k = 0,, 2,... (a) Pick a sepsize k by a line search on he funcion g() = f(x k f(x k )). (b) Se x k+ = x k f(x k ). (c) If f(x k+ ) ε hen STOP and x k+ is he oupu, oherwise repea. Example 8 (gradien mehod wih exac line search for quadraic funcion). Consider min f(x) = x R xt Ax + 2b T x n where A R n n is posiive definie and b R n. The gradien mehod wih sepsize chosen by exac line search generaes x k+ := x k k f(x k ) where k = f(x k ) 2 2 f(x k ) T A f(x k ). Proposiion 9. Le {x k } be a sequence generaed by he gradien mehod wih exac line search for solving a problem of minimizing a coninuously differeniable funcion f. Then for any k = 0,, 2,..., (x k+2 x k+ ) T (x k+ x k ) = 0. 3

4 Proof. By definiion, x k+ x k = k f(x k ) and x k+2 x k+ = k+ f(x k+ ). So, i suffices o prove ha f(x k ) T f(x k+ ) = 0. Since k = argmin g() = f(x k f(x k )), 0 and k = 0 is no he soluion, ha implies g ( k ) = 0. Thus, f(x k ) T f(x k k f(x k )) = 0 f(x k ) T f(x k+ ) = 0. 3 The Ferma-Weber Problem The problem is se up as follows: given a se of m poins A := {a, a 2,..., a m } R n (also called anchor poins) and m weighs ω,..., ω m > 0, find a poin x R n ha minimize he weighed disance of x o each of he poins a i : { min f(x) x R n } x a i. Noe ha f is no differeniable a he anchor poins a i. This is an insance of a faciliy locaion problem. One popular approach for solving he problem was inroduced by Weiszfeld in 937: consider he firs order opimaliy condiion f(x) = 0 where we implicily assume x is no an anchor poin. Then he equaion can be wrien explicily as x a ( m i x a i = 0 ω ) i a i x = x a i x a i, which is he same as x = x a i So he opimaliy condiion becomes a fixed poin problem a i x a i. Finding an x such ha x = T (x) where T (x) = x a i a i x a i. A naural approach is o use he ieraions x k+ = T (x k ) which is he Weiszfeld s mehod. This mehod defined only when all x k s are differen from a i s. Surprisingly, his mehod is basically a gradien mehod. Indeed, ω x k+ = i a i m x k a i x k a i x k a i = x k x k a i = x k x a i x k a i 4 f(x k ).

5 So Weiszfeld s mehod is he gradien mehod wih special sepsize k = x k a i Several quesions hen arise: Is he mehod well-defined? Does he value of objecive funcion decrease? Does he sequence {x k } k N converge o a global soluion? In he following, we will answer par of hese quesions. Firs, define he auxiliary funcion h(y, x) := Lemma 0. For any x R n A, one has y a i 2 x a i, y Rn, x R n A. T (x) = argmin y R n h(y, x) ( m ) ω Proof. The funcion h(, x) is quadraic whose associaed marix is i x a i I, which is posiive definie. Therefore, he unique global minimizer, denoed by y, is he unique saionary poin of h(, x), i.e., y h(y, x) = 0 2 w i y a i x a i = 0 y = T (x). Lemma 0 basically shows ha he Weiszfeld s mehod can be wrien as Lemma. If x R n A, hen (i) h(x, x) = f(x). (ii) h(y, x) 2f(y) f(x) for all y R n. x k+ = argmin x R n h(x, x k ). (iii) f(t (x)) f(x) and f(t (x)) = f(x) if and only if x = T (x). (iv) x = T (x) if and only if f(x) = 0.. Proof. (i): obvious. (ii): For all a 0 and b > 0, he following always holds: a2 b The conclusion hen follows easily. (iii): I follows from (ii) ha 2a b. () 2f(T (x)) f(x) h(t (x), x) h(x, x) = f(x). Thus, f(x) f(t (x)). To complee his par: if T (x) = x hen clearly f(t (x)) = f(x). Now if f(t x) = f(x), hen from () we have h(t (x), x) = h(x, x). Since h(, x) has a unique minimizer T (x), we mus have x = T (x). (iv): follows from simple algebraic manipulaion. Lemma 2. Le {x k } k N be he sequence generaed by Weiszfeld s mehod, where we assume ha x k A for all k N. Then {f(x k )} k N is nonincreasing and f(x k ) = f(x k+ ) if and only if f(x k ) = 0. 5

6 Proof. The conclusion is immediae from Lemma. We have showed ha {f(x k )} k N is sricly decreasing as long as we are no suck a a saionary poin. The underlying assumpion ha x k A is problemaic since i canno be verified easily. One approach is o choose he saring poin x 0 such ha So, we have he following resul. f(x 0 ) < min a i A {f(a i)}. Theorem 3. Le {x k } k N be he sequence generaed by Weiszfeld s mehod and assume ha f(x 0 ) < min ai A{f(a i )}. Then all limi poins of {x k } k N are saionary poins of f. I can be showed ha he saionary poins of he Ferma-Weber problem are global opimal soluions. In fac, i is also possible o show ha he enire sequence converges o a global opimal soluion. References [] A.
