The nonlinear conjugate gradient methods are known to be an effective approach for standard unconstrained optimization problems especially for large-scale problems. This paper proposes a proximal nonlinear conjugate gradient method, which…
We study preconditioned proximal point methods for a class of saddle point problems, where the preconditioner decouples the overall proximal point method into an alternating primal--dual method. This is akin to the Chambolle--Pock method or…
This work studies multi-agent sharing optimization problems with the objective function being the sum of smooth local functions plus a convex (possibly non-smooth) function coupling all agents. This scenario arises in many machine learning…

Unlike convex case, a local equilibrium point of a nonconvex Nash-Cournot oligopolistic equilibrium problem may not be a global one. Finding such a local equilibrium point or even a stationary point of this problem is not an easy task. This…
In this work, we show that for linearly constrained optimization problems the primal-dual hybrid gradient algorithm, analyzed by Chambolle and Pock [3], can be written as an entirely primal algorithm. This allows us to prove convergence of…
In this paper, we propose a primal-dual algorithm with a novel momentum term using the partial gradients of the coupling function that can be viewed as a generalization of the method proposed by Chambolle and Pock in 2016 to solve saddle…

In this paper we consider distributed optimization problems in which the cost function is separable, i.e., a sum of possibly non-smooth functions all sharing a common variable, and can be split into a strongly convex term and a convex one.…
We consider an inertial primal-dual fixed point algorithm (IPDFP) to compute the minimizations of the following Problem (1.1). This is a full splitting approach, in the sense that the nonsmooth functions are processed individually via their…
Many large-scale and distributed optimization problems can be brought into a composite form in which the objective function is given by the sum of a smooth term and a nonsmooth regularizer. Such problems can be solved via a proximal…
