The UCSD math department administered a test to 138 students in a remedial math class, and 25% of them got this question wrong: https://t.co/gS39XPmSnk
Difference of convex (DC) programming are non-convex problem enjoying a nice duality theory and thus a simple optimization algorithm. https://t.co/b9kWb22cNX https://t.co/0NxVFMOAzG https://t.co/nrN57kXg2U
I've finally solved steepest descent on Finsler-structured (matrix) manifolds more generally. This generalizes work by me, @jxbz, and @Jianlin_S on Muon, Orthogonal Muon, & Stiefel Muon.

The general solution turned out to be much simpler than I thought. And it should generalize to any... See more
