Abstract: In this paper, we study structured quasi-Newton methods for optimization problems with orthogonality constraints. Note that the Riemannian Hessian of the objective function requires both the Euclidean Hessian and the Euclidean gradient. In particular, we are interested in applications that the Euclidean Hessian itself consists of a computational cheap part and a significantly expensive part. Our basic idea is to keep these parts of lower computational costs but substitute those parts of higher computational costs by the limited-memory quasi-Newton update. More specically, the part related to Euclidean gradient and the cheaper parts in the Euclidean Hessian are preserved. The initial quasi-Newton matrix is further constructed from a limited-memory Nystr"om approximation to the expensive part. Consequently, our subproblems approximate the original objective function in the Euclidean space and preserve the orthogonality constraints without performing the so-called vector transports. When the subproblems are solved to sufficient accuracy, both global and local q-superlinear convergence can be established under mild conditions. Preliminary numerical experiments on the linear eigenvalue problem and the electronic structure calculation show the effectiveness of our method compared with the state-of-art algorithms.
