Abstract
In this paper we analyze the Basic Tensor Methods, which use approximate solutions of the auxiliary problems. The quality of this solution is described by the residual in the function value, which must be proportional to \epsilon^{p+1/p}, where p ≥ 1 is the order of the method and \epsilon is the desired accuracy in the main optimization problem. We analyze in details the auxiliary schemes for the third- and second-order tensor methods. The auxiliary problems for the third-order scheme can be solved very efficiently by a linearly convergent gradient-type method with a preconditioner. The most expensive operation in this process is a preliminary factorization of the Hessian of the objective function. For solving the auxiliary problem for the second order scheme, we suggest two variants of the Fast Gradient Methods with restart, which converge as O(1/k^6), where k is the iteration counter. Finally, we present the results of the preliminary computational experiments.
