Abstract
In this paper, we study the auxiliary problems that appear in p-order tensor methods for unconstrained minimization of convex functions with ν-Hölder continuous pth derivatives. This type of auxiliary problems corresponds to the minimization of a (p + ν)-order regularization of the pth-order Taylor approximation of the objective. For the case p = 3, we consider the use of Gradient Methods with Bregman distance. When the regularization parameter is sufficiently large, we prove that the referred methods take at most ${\Os(log(\epsilon^{-1}))$ iterations to find either a suitable approximate stationary point of the tensor model or an $\epsilon$-approximate stationary point of the original objective function.
