DC algorithm for estimation of sparse Gaussian graphical models. by Tomokaze Shiratori, Yuichi Takano

“…Specifically, we convert the cardinality constraint into an equivalent constraint based on the largest-K norm, and reformulate the resultant constrained optimization problem into an unconstrained penalty form with a DC (difference of convex functions) representation. To solve this problem efficiently, we design a DC algorithm in which the graphical lasso algorithm is repeatedly executed to solve convex optimization subproblems. …”
