报告摘要:We propose a family of novel optimization algorithms by using the Scalar/Vector Auxiliary Variable (SAV) method. By reformulating the optimization process as ordinary differential equations, we construct Lyapunov energy functions that enables systematic incorporation of the SAV/VAV framework, leading to energy-stable discrete schemes. We also develop the adaptive extensions. Additionally, to enhance global exploration in highly nonconvex landscapes, we design a stochastic variant, combining ideas from Langevin dynamics and simulated annealing. The energy stability is guaranteed for all proposed methods. Extensive experiments on benchmark functions and deep learning tasks show that, overall, our methods outperform state-of-the-art optimizers in convergence speed, accuracy, and stability.
