Abstract: The p-regularized subproblem (p-RS) is a regularisation technique in computing a Newton-like step for unconstrained optimization, which globally minimizes a local quadratic approximation of the objective function while incorporating with a weighted regularisation term fracsigmap|x|p. The global solution of the p-regularized subproblem for p=3, also known as the cubic regularization, has been characterized in literature. In this paper, we resolve both the global and the local non-global minimizers of (p-RS) for p>2 with necessary and sufficient optimality conditions. Moreover, we prove a parallel result of Mart'{i}nez cite{Mar} that the (p-RS) for p>2, analogous to the trust region subproblem, can have at most one local non-global minimizer. When the (p-RS) is subject to a fixed number m additional linear inequality constraints, we show that the uniqueness of the local solution of the (p-RS) (if exists at all), especially for p=4, can be applied to solve such an extension in polynomial time.
