2 Abstract Optimization problems are ubiquitous in science and engineering. In this thesis, we study unconstrained black-box optimization problems that can only be accessed by an oracle that returns the function value at a query point. The theory of convex optimization problems is welldeveloped and such problems are typically solved with gradient-based methods. For non-convex problems, there is no unifying theoretical treatment and one has to rely on, typically gradient-free, search heuristics. Here, we analyze gradient-free optimization algorithms on convex functions. In the first part of this thesis, we study Random Pursuit algorithms. These are iterative search schemes, where each iteration consists of two steps: (i) the generation of a (random) search direction and (ii) performing a step along this direction. We present a general framework to study such algorithms and prove convergence on smooth convex and strongly convex functions. The convergence rates depend on a sufficient decrease condition that measures the quality of the generated steps. This condition is for instance met by schemes that use a line search to generate the steps. For line search algorithms, we extend the convergence analysis to functions that are not necessarily everywhere strongly convex, but only at the optimum. Line search algorithms do not need any problem specific parameterization as input and are invariant under strictly monotone transformations of the objective functions. They thus enjoy identical convergence behavior on a wider function class. We discuss several kinds of random search directions and provide estimates for the expected convergence rates. In the second part, we present three, at first sight seemingly unrelated, optimization algorithms that can be analyzed in the Random Pursuit framework. The examples comprise (i) solving linear systems with Kaczmarz method and (ii) Hessian learning with Leventhal and iii

3 iv Lewis estimation algorithm. Both these algorithms are instances of Random Pursuit algorithms with exact line search. We show this by demonstrating that these algorithms do only require the computation of scalar products, which in turn (iii) amounts to special Random Pursuit algorithms in Hilbert spaces, that have a simple geometric interpretation. We provide exact rates for the expected convergence. The Hessian learning scheme has a specific application: it can be used to estimate the underlying metric of an optimization problem which helps to accelerate the subsequent optimization with Random Pursuit. We do not only derive precise convergence rates, we also show that a specific implementation of this combined scheme converges equally fast on all quadratic functions, i.e. it is affine invariant. In the last chapter, we review Nesterov s gradient-based accelerated random search scheme. Each iteration of this scheme comprises two steps: (i) a simple search step like the one in the Random Pursuit algorithms and (ii) a model building step that allows for acceleration. We show that the step (i) can harmlessly be replaced with a line search, whereas the situation in step (ii) is more delicate. We cannot show that implementing step (ii) with a line search still yields acceleration, however, the resulting scheme does not diverge and converges on quadratic functions at least as fast as the simple Random Pursuit with the possibility to accelerate.

4 Zusammenfassung Optimierungsprobleme sind allgegenwärtig in der Wissenschaft und der Technik. Wir betrachten Black-Box (schwarzer Kasten) Optimierung ohne Nebenbedingungen. Bei solchen Problemen ist die Zielfunktion a priori unbekannt, ihre Werte können aber für jedes fest gewählte Argument mit Hilfe eines Orakels in Erfahrung gebracht werden. Während zum Lösen konvexer Optimierungsprobleme normalerweise gradientenbasierte Suchverfahren zur Anwendung kommen, ist dieser Zugang nicht sehr erfolgreich bei nichtkonvexen Problemen. Die Theorie solcher Probleme ist weniger gut verstanden und man muss auf, meist gradientenfreie, heuristische Verfahren zurückreifen. In dieser Arbeit analysieren wir gradientenfreie Suchverfahren auf konvexen Funktionen. Im ersten Teil dieser Arbeit untersuchen wir eine bestimmte Klasse von Verfahren, die wir Zufallsjagd (Random Pursuit) nennen. Dies sind iterative Suchverfahren deren Iterationen aus zwei Schritten bestehen: (i) dem Auslosen einer (zufälligen) Suchrichtung und (ii) dem Auswählen eines neuen Suchpunktes entlang dieser Richtung. Wir präsentieren eine generelle Methode um solche Verfahren zu analysieren und beweisen Konvergenz auf glatten konvexen und streng konvexen Funktionen. Die Konvergenzrate hängt von der Effektivität der einzelnen Schritte ab, die wir mit Hilfe einer ausreichenden Abstiegsbedingung (sufficient decrease) messen. Diese Bedingung wird zum Beispiel von Suchpunkten erfüllt die mittels einer Liniensuche generiert werden. Für Suchverfahren mit Liniensuche können wir die Konvergenzresultate auf Funktionen ausweiten die nicht überall, sondern nur am Optimum, streng konvex sind. Verfahren mit Liniensuche haben den Vorteil, dass sie parameterfrei arbeiten und invariant sind gegenüber monotonen Transformationen der Zielfunktion. D.h. sie weisen das gleiche Konvergenzverhalten auch auf einer allgemeineren Klasse von Funktionen auf. Wir diskutieren verschiedene Verteilungen von zufälligen Suchrichtunv

5 vi gen und schätzen für jede Verteilung die erwartete Konvergenzrate ab. Im zweiten Teil stellen wir drei Verfahren vor, die auf den ersten Blick keinen gemeinsamen Bezug aufweisen. Wie zeigen aber, dass sie alle zur Klasse der Zufallsjagdverfahren gehören und mit unserer Methode analysiert werden können. Die Beispiele umfassen (i) das Lösen von linearen Gleichungssystemen mit der Kaczmarz-Methode und (ii) das Schätzen einer Hesse-Matrix nach einer Methode von Leventhal und Lewis. Beide Verfahren sind spezielle Anwendungen von Suchverfahren mit exakter Liniensuche, deren Schritte durch die Werte von bestimmen Skalarprodukten eindeutig festgelegt sind und eine einfache geometrische Interpretation erlauben. Als letztes Beispiel (iii) analysieren wir dieses spezielle Verfahren in allgemeinen Hilberträumen und leiten exakte Konvergenzraten her. Das Verfahren zum Schätzen einer Hesse-Matrix hat auch eine weitere konkrete Anwendung: es kann verwendet werden um die intrinsische Metrik eines Optimierungsproblems zu schätzen. Wird diese Schätzung bei der Wahl der Suchrichtungen berücksichtig, kann dies die Konvergenz von Zufallsjagdverfahren beschleunigen. Wir zeigen, dass eine bestimmte Implementierung dieses zweistufigen Verfahrens auf allen quadratischen Funktionen gleich schnell konvergiert, d.h. dieses Verfahren ist affin invariant. Im letzten Kapitel diskutieren wir Nesterovs gradientenbasierte Beschleunigungstechnik für zufallsgesteuerte Suchverfahren. Jede Iteration dieses Verfahrens besteht aus zwei Schritten: (i) einer einfachen Suche nach einem besseren Suchpunkt, wie in den Zufallsjagdverfahren, und (ii) der Aktualisierung einer Schätzung der Zielfunktion (Modell), welche die Grundlage bildet für die schnellere Konvergenz. Wir zeigen, dass in Schritt (i) gefahrlos eine Liniensuche verwendet werden kann, aber wir können dies im allgemeinen Fall nicht auch für Schritt (ii) zeigen. Auf quadratischen Funktionen konvergiert das beschleunigte Verfahren mit Liniensuche mindestens gleich schnell wir die einfachen Zufallsjagdverfahren möglicherweise aber deutlich schneller.
