Global Convergence of Unmodified 3-Block ADMM for a Class of Convex Minimization Problems

The alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM) has been successfully applied to solve structured convex optimization problems due to its superior practical performance. The convergence properties of the 2-block ADMM have been studied extensively in the literature. Specifically, it has been proven that the 2-block ADMM globally converges for any penalty parameter $\gamma>0$. In this … Read more
