| contents | A second-order block coordinate descent method is proposed for the unconstrained minimization of an objective function with a Lipschitz continuous Hessian. At each iteration, a block of variables is selected by means of a greedy (Gauss-Southwell) rule which considers the amount of first-order stationarity violation, then an approximate minimizer of a cubic model is computed for the block update. In the proposed scheme, blocks are not required to have a predetermined structure and their size may change during the iterations. For non-convex objective functions, global convergence to stationary points is proved and a worst-case iteration complexity analysis is provided. In particular, given a tolerance $ε$, we show that at most ${\cal O(ε^{-3/2})}$ iterations are needed to drive the stationarity violation with respect to a selected block of variables below $ε$, while at most ${\cal O(ε^{-2})}$ iterations are needed to drive the stationarity violation with respect to all variables below $ε$. Numerical results are finally given, comparing the proposed approach with other second-order methods and block selection rules. |
