Abstract
In this paper, we study a fully composite formulation of convex optimization prob-lems, which includes, as a particular case, the problems with functional constraints, max-type min-imization problems, and problems with simple nondifferentiable components. We treat all theseformulations in a unified way, highlighting the existence of very natural optimization schemes ofdifferent orderp\geq 1. As the result, we obtain new high-order (p\geq 2) optimization methods forcomposite formulation. We prove the global convergence rates for them under the most generalconditions. Assuming that the upper-level component of our objective function is subhomogeneous,we develop efficient modification of the basic fully composite first-order and second-order methodsand propose their accelerated variants
