Abstract:
A new concept of $(\delta,L)$ -model of a function that is a generalization of the Devolder–Glineur–Nesterov $(\delta,L)$-oracle is proposed. Within this concept, the gradient descent and fast gradient descent methods are constructed and it is shown that constructs of many known methods (composite methods, level methods, conditional gradient and proximal methods) are particular cases of the methods proposed in this paper.
Key words:gradient descent, fast gradient descent, model of function, universal method, conditional gradient method, composite optimization.
