摘      要：

       The Kurdyka- Lojasiewicz (KL) inequality and error bounds are two fundamental tools for establishing convergence of many numerical methods. In particular, the exponents of the KL inequality and error bounds play an important role in estimating the convergence rate of many contemporary first-order methods. Nevertheless, these exponents are extremely hard to estimate in general, particularly in the case where the associated mappings are not polyhedral. In this talk, we will outline some strategies in estimating or identifying these exponents by exploiting the so-called inf-projection operation and specific structure such as polynomial structure, semi-definite cone program representability and C 2 -cone reducible structures.
