In this paper we present some algorithms for minimization of DC function (difference of two convex functions). They are descent methods of the proximal-type which use the convex properties of the two ...

Convex Function: A function defined on an interval or convex set such that the line segment between any two points on its graph lies above or on the graph, a property that is crucial for deriving ...

The problem of minimizing a smooth convex function over a specific cone in R n is frequently encountered in nonparametric statistics. For that type of problem we suggest an algorithm and show that ...
