The minimization of certain nondifferentiable sums of eigenvalues of symmetric matrices

Jane Cullum, +2 more

TLDR
In this paper, the sum of the q algebraically largest eigenvalues of any real symmetric matrix as a function of the diagonal entries of the matrix is derived and a convergent procedure is presented for determining a minimizing point of any such sum subject to the condition that the trace of the original matrix is held constant.
Abstract
Properties of the sum of the q algebraically largest eigenvalues of any real symmetric matrix as a function of the diagonal entries of the matrix are derived Such a sum is convex but not necessarily everywhere differentiable A convergent procedure is presented for determining a minimizing point of any such sum subject to the condition that the trace of the matrix is held constant An implementation of this procedure is described and numerical results are included

A method of conjugate subgradients for minimizing nondifferentiable functions

TL;DR: In this paper, an algorithm for finding the minimum of any convex, not necessarily differentiable, function f of several variables is described, which yields a sequence of points tending to the solution of the problem, if any, requiring only the calculation of f and one subgradient of f at designated points.
