An Inertial Block Majorization Minimization Framework for Nonsmooth Nonconvex Optimization

In this paper, we introduce TITAN, a novel inerTial block majorIzation minimization framework for non-smooth non-convex opTimizAtioN problems. TITAN is a block coordinate method (BCM) that embeds inertial force to each majorization-minimization step of the block updates. The inertial force is obtained via an extrapolation operator that subsumes heavy-ball and Nesterov-type accelerations for block proximal … Read more
