Adapted from Nesterov's accelerated gradient method for convex functions, the generated sequence guarantees a decay of the function values of $\\mathcal{O}\\left(n^{-2}\\right)$ in the convex setting. We show that for coercive functions satisfying some local growth condition (namely a H\\''olderian or quadratic growth condition), this sequence strongly converges to a minimizer. This property, which has never been proved without assuming the uniqueness of the minimizer, is associated with improved convergence rates for the function values. The proposed analysis is based on a preliminary study of the Asymptotic Vanishing Damping system introduced by Su et al. in to modelNesterov's accelerated gradient method in a continuous setting. Novel improved convergence results are also shown for the solutions of this dynamical system, including the finite length of the trajectory under the aforementioned geometry conditions.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2024-07-24T07:45:13.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "quadratic growth condition", "fista iterates", "strong convergence", "function values", "modelnesterovs accelerated gradient method" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
