## Combining Penalty-based and Gauss-Seidel Methods for solving Stochastic Mixed-Integer Problems

In this paper, we propose a novel decomposition approach for mixed-integer stochastic programming (SMIP) problems that is inspired by the combination of penalty-based Lagrangian and block Gauss-Seidel methods (PBGS). In this sense, PBGS is developed such that the inherent decomposable structure that SMIPs present can be exploited in a computationally efficient manner. The performance of … Read more

## Decomposition methods based on projected gradient for network equilibrium problems

In this work we consider the symmetric network equilibrium problem formulated as convex minimization problem whose variables are the path flows. In order to take into account the difficulties related to the large dimension of real network problems we adopt a column generation strategy and we employ a gradient projection method within an inexact decomposition … Read more

## Fast Alternating Linearization Methods for Minimizing the Sum of Two Convex Functions

We present in this paper first-order alternating linearization algorithms based on an alternating direction augmented Lagrangian approach for minimizing the sum of two convex functions. Our basic methods require at most $O(1/\epsilon)$ iterations to obtain an $\epsilon$-optimal solution, while our accelerated (i.e., fast) versions of them require at most $O(1/\sqrt{\epsilon})$ iterations, with little change in … Read more
