We consider the monotone inclusion problem with a sum of 3 operators, in which 2 are monotone and 1 is monotone-Lipschitz. The classical Douglas--Rachford and Forward-backward-forward methods respectively solve the monotone inclusion…
Duality is most often defined as a relationship between convex functions. If those functions are nonconvex, classical duality breaks down. Notwithstanding, we show that another kind of duality still exists, not between the functions…
