• Abstract: This paper presents a novel algorithm that leverages Stochastic Gradient Descent strategies in conjunction with Random Features to augment the scalability of Conic Particle Gradient Descent (CPGD) specifically tailored for solving sparse optimisation problems on measures. By formulating the CPGD steps within a variational framework, we provide rigorous mathematical proofs demonstrating the following key findings: (i) The total variation norms of the solution measures along the descent trajectory remain bounded, ensuring stability and preventing undesirable divergence; (ii) We establish a global convergence guarantee with a convergence rate of $\mathcal{O}(\log(K)/\sqrt{K})$ over $K$ iterations, showcasing the efficiency and effectiveness of our algorithm; (iii) Additionally, we analyze and establish local control over the first-order condition discrepancy, contributing to a deeper understanding of the algorithm's behavior and reliability in practical applications.

  We propose a Trust Sequential Quadratic Programming method to find both first and second-order stationary points. To converge to first-order stationary points, our method computes a gradient step in each iteration defined by minimizing a approximation of the objective subject. To converge to second-order stationary points, our method additionally computes an eigen step to explore the negative curvature the reduced Hessian matrix.

  We consider approximations of sampling algorithms, such as Gradient Langevin Dynamics (SGLD) and the Random Batch Method (RBM) for Interacting Particle Dynamcs (IPD) We observe that the noise introduced by the approximation is nearly Gaussian due to the Central Limit Theorem (CLT) while the driving Brownian motion is exactly Gaussian. We harness this structure to absorb the approximation error inside the diffusion process, and obtain improved convergence guarantees for these algorithms.
