Περίληψη: We provide a template to derive affine-invariant convergence rates for the following popular versions of the Frank-Wolfe algorithm on polytopes: vanilla Frank-Wolfe, Frank-Wolfe with away steps, Frank-Wolfe with blended pairwise steps, and Frank-Wolfe with in-face directions. Our template shows how the convergence rates follow from two affine-invariant properties of the problem, namely, error bound and extended curvature. These properties depend solely on the polytope and objective function but not on any affine-dependent object like norms. For each one of the above algorithms, we derive rates of convergence ranging from sublinear to linear depending on the degree of the error bound.
