Many problems can be formulated as recovering a low-rank tensor. Although an increasingly common task, tensor recovery remains a challenging problem because of the delicacy associated with the decomposition of higher order tensors. To…

We consider minimax (saddle-point) problems of the form max_{c \in C} min_{\beta \in S} g(c; \beta), where C and S are compact convex sets, and g is concave-convex. Applying the Alternating Direction Method of Multipliers (ADMM) requires…
