Abstract

In this merged paper, we consider the problem of minimizing a convex function with Lipschitz-continuous p-th order derivatives. Given an oracle which when queried at a point returns the first p-derivatives of the function at that point we provide some methods which compute an ε approximate minimizer in O (ε - 2/3p+1) iterations. These methods match known lower bounds up to poly-logarithmic factors for constant p.
