Gradient Descent (12 points)
(2 points) Let f:RR be a convex and f(**)=minf(). Prove that f'()0 if ** and f'()0 if >**. Hint: You may want to use the alternative definition of convexity that f(y)f(x)+f'(x)(y-x).
(2 points) We say a vec() is a local minimum for a function f:RdR if there exists lon>0 such that '||(vec())-vec()'||2lonfvec()**1ti=1tf(vec()(i))f(vec(**))+lonf(hat())f(vec()**)+lonhat()=argminvec()(1),dots,vec()(t)fvec((i))bar()=1ti=1tvec()(i)bar()f(?bar())f(vec()**)+lonff:RdRG||gradf()||2G(i+1)=(i)-gradf((i))||(i+1)-(i)||2Gt=R2G2lon2=RGt2ii+1f((i+1))-f((i))S(i+1)=PS(out)out=(i)-gradf((i))f(vec()) for all ' such that ||(vec())-vec()'||2lon. Show that iffis convex then there can at most one local minimum vec()**.
(2 points)In our gradient descent analysis we used the fact 1ti=1tf(vec()(i))f(vec(**))+lon implies that f(hat())f(vec()**)+lon for the best iterate hat()=argminvec()(1),dots,vec()(t)f(vec((i))). Prove that ifwe instead set ?bar()=1ti=1tvec()(i)(i.e.,?bar()is the average iterate) then we also have f(?bar())f(vec()**)+lon. Hint: Use that fis convex.
Let f:RdRbeaG-Lipschitz function, i.e.,||gradf()||2G for all .
(a)(2 points)If(i+1)=(i)-gradf((i)), give an upper bound on||(i+1)-(i)||2in terms of and G.
(b)(2 points)In our fixed step size gradient algorithm we set t=R2G2lon2 and =RGt2. Under these settings, what is the worst case increase in function value from step ito step i+1? I.e., give an upper bound onf((i+1))-f((i)). Does this make intuitive sense? Hint: Use part (a).
(c)(2 points) Consider the case of projected gradient descent over a convex set S.So(i+1)=PS(out) for out=(i)-gradf((i)). Show that the bounds of(a),(b) still hold.
