摘要：Quasi-convex optimization is fundamental to the modeling of many practical problems in various fields such as economics, finance and industrial organization, and subgradient methods are practical iterative algorithms for solving large-scale convex or quasi-convex optimization problems. In this talk, an interior quasi-subgradient method is proposed based on the proximal distance to solve constrained nondifferentiable quasi-convex optimization problems. The properties of the specific quasi-subdifferentials of quasi-convex functions, including nonemptiness, quasi-monotonicity, and outer semicontinuity, will be presented. The convergence properties, including the global convergence and iteration complexity, of the interior quasi-subgradient method are investigated under the assumption of the Holder condition of order p, when using the constant/diminishing/dynamic stepsize rules. Convergence rate results are obtained by assuming a Holder-type weak sharp minimum condition relative to an induced proximal distance.
