Fast Convex Optimization via Differential Equation with Hessian-Driven Damping and Tikhonov Regularization

In this paper, we consider a class of second-order ordinary differential equations with Hessian-driven damping and Tikhonov regularization, which arises from the minimization of a smooth convex function in Hilbert spaces. Inspired by Attouch et al. (J Differ Equ 261:5734–5783, 2016), we establish that the function value along the solution trajectory converges to the optimal value, and prove that the convergence rate can be as fast as o ( 1 / t 2 ) . By constructing proper energy function, we prove that the trajectory strongly converges to a minimizer of the objective function of minimum norm. Moreover, we propose a gradient-based optimization algorithm based on numerical discretization, and demonstrate its effectiveness in numerical experiments.
