Scalable Projection-Free Optimization Methods via MultiRadial Duality Theory

Published in ArXiv Preprint, 2024

This paper presents the multiradial method for solving constrained convex optimization problems. This method assumes minimal structure on the objective function and does not rely on projections to the feasible region.
