Abstract

In this paper, we prove that the ergodic sequence generated by the Peaceman-Rachford (PR) splitting method with semi-proximal terms converges for convex optimization problems (COPs). Numerical experiments on the linear programming benchmark dataset further demonstrate that, with a restart strategy, the ergodic sequence of the PR splitting method with semi-proximal terms consistently outperforms both the point-wise and ergodic sequences of the Douglas-Rachford (DR) splitting method. These findings indicate that the restarted ergodic PR splitting method is a more effective choice for tackling large-scale COPs compared to its DR counterparts.
