On the pointwise iteration-complexity of a dynamic regularized ADMM with over-relaxation stepsize

In this paper, we extend the improved pointwise iteration-complexity result of a dynamic regularized alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM) for a new stepsize domain. In this complexity analysis, the stepsize parameter can even be chosen in the interval $(0,2)$ instead of interval $(0,(1+\sqrt{5})/2)$. As usual, our analysis is established by interpreting this ADMM variant … Read more

Symmetric ADMM with Positive-Indefinite Proximal Regularization for Linearly Constrained Convex Optimization

The proximal ADMM which adds proximal regularizations to ADMM’s subproblems is a popular and useful method for linearly constrained separable convex problems, especially its linearized case. A well-known requirement on guaranteeing the convergence of the method in the literature is that the proximal regularization must be positive semidefinite. Recently it was shown by He et … Read more

Convergence Study on the Proximal Alternating Direction Method with Larger Step Size

The alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM) is a popular method for the separable convex programming with linear constraints, and the proximal ADMM is its important variant. Previous studies show that the relaxation factor $\gamma\in (0, \frac{1+\sqrt{5}}{2})$ by Fortin and Glowinski for the ADMM is also valid for the proximal ADMM. In this paper, we … Read more

A TVSCAD approach for image deblurring with impulsive noise

We consider image deblurring problem in the presence of impulsive noise. It is known that \emph{total variation} (TV) regularization with L1-norm penalized data fitting (TVL1 for short) works reasonably well only when the level of impulsive noise is relatively low. For high level impulsive noise, TVL1 works poorly. The reason is that all data, both … Read more

Convergence rate bounds for a proximal ADMM with over-relaxation stepsize parameter for solving nonconvex linearly constrained problems

This paper establishes convergence rate bounds for a variant of the proximal alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM) for solving nonconvex linearly constrained optimization problems. The variant of the proximal ADMM allows the inclusion of an over-relaxation stepsize parameter belonging to the interval (0,2). To the best of our knowledge, all related papers in the … Read more

Extending the ergodic convergence rate of the proximal ADMM

Pointwise and ergodic iteration-complexity results for the proximal alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM) for any stepsize in $(0,(1+\sqrt{5})/2)$ have been recently established in the literature. In addition to giving alternative proofs of these results, this paper also extends the ergodic iteration-complexity result to include the case in which the stepsize is equal to $(1+\sqrt{5})/2$. … Read more

Generalized Symmetric ADMM for Separable Convex Optimization

The Alternating Direction Method of Multipliers (ADMM) has been proved to be effective for solving separable convex optimization subject to linear constraints. In this paper, we propose a Generalized Symmetric ADMM (GS-ADMM), which updates the Lagrange multiplier twice with suitable stepsizes, to solve the multi-block separable convex programming. This GS-ADMM partitions the data into two … Read more

Improving an ADMM-like Splitting Method via Positive-Indefinite Proximal Regularization for Three-Block Separable Convex Minimization

The augmented Lagrangian method (ALM) is fundamental for solving convex minimization models with linear constraints. When the objective function is separable such that it can be represented as the sum of more than one function without coupled variables, various splitting versions of the ALM have been well studied in the literature such as the alternating … Read more

The alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM) is being widely used for various convex minimization models with separable structures arising in a variety of areas. In the literature, the proximalversion of ADMM which allows ADMM’s subproblems to be proximally regularized has been well studied. Particularly the linearized version of ADMM can be yielded when the … Read more

Faster Alternating Direction Method of Multipliers with a Worst-case O(1/n^2) Convergence Rate

The alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM) is being widely used for various convex programming models with separable structures arising in specifically many scientific computing areas. The ADMM’s worst-case O(1/n) convergence rate measured by the iteration complexity has been established in the literature when its penalty parameter is a constant, where n is the iteration … Read more
