    The augmented Lagrangian method (ALM) is a benchmark for tackling the convex optimization problem with linear constraints; ALM and its variants for linearly equality-constrained convex minimization models have been well studied in the literatures. However, much less attention has been paid to ALM for efficiently solving the linearly inequality-constrained convex minimization model. In this paper, … Read more

    We investigate the application of the nonmonotone spectral projected gradient (SPG) method to a region-based variational model for image segmentation. We consider a “discretize-then-optimize” approach and solve the resulting nonlinear optimization problem by an alternating minimization procedure that exploits the SPG2 algorithm by Birgin, Martì­nez and Raydan (SIAM J. Optim., 10(4), 2000). We provide a … Read more
