TITLE: Linear convergence of modified Frank-Wolfe algorithms
for ellipsoid optimization algorithms

SPEAKER: Mike Todd

ABSTRACT:

We discuss the convergence properties of first-order methods for two problems that arise in computational geometry and statistics: the minimum-volume enclosing ellipsoid problem and the minimum-area enclosing ellipsoidal cylinder problem for a set of m points in R^n. The algorithms are old but the analysis is new, and the methods are remarkably effective at solving large-scale problems to high accuracy.
