From 25c495bb88af7d27d307eb8bf04da359df216fcf Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: davidwalter2 Date: Wed, 26 Aug 2026 11:07:34 -0400 Subject: [PATCH 1/5] Add a native TF trust-exact minimizer that keeps the subproblem on device New --minimizerMethod tf-trust-exact: a TensorFlow port of scipy's trust-exact (More-Sorensen) where the Hessian, the H + lambda*I builds, the Cholesky factorizations and the triangular solves stay on the TF device, so the n x n matrix never round-trips to LAPACK per lambda trial. The python outer loop mirrors scipy's _minimize_trust_region and plugs into the existing callback / early-stopping / restart / result plumbing unchanged, including the preconditioner (applied at the same internal-coordinate boundary as for the scipy methods). Differences from a line-for-line port, all deliberate: - No custom op for the potrf failure index: tf.linalg.cholesky signals a non-PD input by filling the factor with NaNs on every backend, and a failed factorization already proves lambda_current is a valid lower bound, so the safeguarded bracket update converges without the index-accelerated bound (a few extra cheap factorizations at worst). - The Hessian closure runs only on accepted steps; scipy's subproblem constructor consumes Hessian norms and therefore pays a Hessian per proposal. - lambda_new is clamped to >= 0 (the interior-case Newton correction can otherwise push the bracket negative) and the matrix norms are computed as matrix norms -- tf.norm's default axis=None flattens the tensor and its max|H_ij| can sit below |lambda_min|, silently invalidating the lambda_ub bracket. - The rare hard-case refinement downloads the factor once and reuses scipy's host-side smallest-singular-value estimate. Validated against scipy on random PD/indefinite subproblems (worst-case model reduction 96.7% of the exact optimum vs scipy's 96.0%, ~1.6 factorizations per solve), on Rosenbrock and an ill-conditioned quadratic (identical minima to ~1e-8), and through a full Fitter fit on the test tensor against the scipy path. Without a visible GPU a warning points users back to scipy trust-exact: TF's CPU Cholesky kernel is single-threaded Eigen and measured ~7x slower at n=2000.

One solve costs one graph dispatch instead of one python round trip -- x assignment, numpy conversion both ways, forced device sync -- per Hessian-vector product, which is what the scipy callback path pays and what dominates when individual HVPs are fast. Exact improvements over scipy's loop, with identical iterates: - Hz is carried through the CG recurrence, so the boundary and negative-curvature exits price their steps from dot products where scipy spends two extra HVPs; - the model value of the returned step falls out of the same bookkeeping and is handed to the outer loop, which otherwise needs one more HVP per proposal. The preconditioner gains tf_transforms(): graph versions of the block T/T^T applications (gather -> dense matvec -> scatter), because for an HVP subproblem the reparameterisation runs inside the compiled loop, once per CG iteration, where the numpy path cannot. The subproblem also re-pins the fitter's parameter state before each solve, since the outer loop's objective evaluations at proposed points move it in between. Validated: steps agree with scipy's CGSteihaugSubproblem to float precision across PD/indefinite models and radii (same algorithm, so bitwise-deterministic, unlike the nearly-exact solver); Rosenbrock matches scipy trust-ncg; full Fitter fits match the trust-krylov reference with and without preconditioning.

Where Steihaug-CG stops at the first boundary crossing, GLTR keeps expanding the Krylov subspace and returns the step that is optimal within it: the Lanczos basis tridiagonalizes H, the projected subproblem min gamma0*e1.h + h.T_k h/2, ||h|| <= Delta is solved per iteration by eigendecomposition plus a safeguarded secular solve (hard case included), and the full-space residual comes free as gamma_k |h_k|. Division of labour: HVPs, the Lanczos recurrence and full CGS2 reorthogonalization run on the TF device through one compiled step function against a fixed-shape [kmax, n] basis buffer (zero rows make masking unnecessary, and fixed shapes mean no retracing); the k x k tridiagonal solves run in numpy where they cost microseconds against HVPs costing milliseconds. Boundary-phase residuals use a 10x tighter tolerance than the interior forcing sequence, as in trlib. The Krylov data is radius-independent, so the outer loop's rejected-step path -- re-solving at a shrunken radius -- reuses it and usually costs zero new HVPs, verified by a test counting them. Validated: subproblem reaches >= 99.9% of the exact-optimum model reduction on problems the subspace exhausts (PD and indefinite, all radii) where truncated CG has no such guarantee; explicit hard-case KKT check; Rosenbrock matches scipy; full Fitter fits match the trust-krylov reference with and without preconditioning (32 tests).

The interior branch estimated the smallest singular value with the host-side Cline et al. recurrence, downloading the full factor per call -- ~1 s per outer iteration at n=4000 over PCIe, erasing the cheap on-device factorizations. Replaced by inverse iteration on L L^T: a handful of O(n^2) triangular solves on device, with only two scalars and one n-vector crossing to the host. Inverse iteration converges fastest exactly in the near-singular regime the hard case lives in; far from singularity it only gives an upper bound on sigma_min, which every use is safe against (lambda_lb just gets looser, and acceptance is guarded, below). - The hard-case acceptance trusted the s_min estimate outright, so an inaccurate estimate could accept a corrected step that raises the model; the outer loop then rejects it, which showed up as a doubled outer iteration count under GPU rounding at n=2000. Both hard-case exits now verify the candidate against the model value (one matvec) and fall through to the normal lambda updates when it fails. Subproblem quality scan is unchanged (worst case 96.6% of the exact optimum over 60 PD/indefinite cases vs scipy's 96.0%, ~1.5 factorizations per solve); new unit test pins the device estimator to the true sigma_min in the near-singular regime.
