Davis-Yin splitting (DYS) has found a wide range of applications in optimization, but its linear rates of convergence have not been studied extensively. The scaled relative graph (SRG) simplifies the convergence analysis of operator…
Recently, several authors have shown local and global convergence rate results for Douglas-Rachford splitting under strong monotonicity, Lipschitz continuity, and cocoercivity assumptions. Most of these focus on the convex optimization…
