Abstract
We are interested in determining the worst performance exhibited by a given first-order optimization method on the class of quadratic functions. Since its introduction, the Performance Estimation Problem (PEP) methodology has allowed the computation of the exact worst-case performance of first-order optimization methods on several functions classes, including smooth convex, strongly convex or nonconvex functions. In this work, we extend the PEP framework to the class of quadratic functions, and apply it to analyze the difference of performance of the gradient method between convex quadratic and general smooth convex functions.
