摘要

We study the Frank-Wolfe algorithm for constrained optimization problems with relatively smooth objectives. Building upon our previous work, we propose a fully adaptive variant of the Frank-Wolfe method that dynamically adjusts the step size. Our method does not require prior knowledge of the function parameters and guarantees convergence using only local information. We establish a linear convergence rate under relative strong convexity and provide a detailed theoretical analysis of the proposed adaptive step-size rule. Furthermore, we demonstrate how relative smoothness and strong convexity naturally arise in the setting of centralized distributed optimization. Under a variance-type assumption on the gradients, we show that the global objective becomes relatively strongly convex with respect to the Bregman divergence generated by a local function. This structure allows us to apply our adaptive Frank-Wolfe algorithm, leading to provable acceleration due to an improved relative condition number.
