In this paper, we propose a new primal-dual algorithm for minimizing $f(x) + g(x) + h(Ax)$, where $f$, $g$, and $h$ are proper lower semi-continuous convex functions, $f$ is differentiable with a Lipschitz continuous gradient, and $A$ is a…

We provide a general method to convert a "primal" black-box algorithm for solving regularized convex-concave minimax optimization problems into an algorithm for solving the associated dual maximin optimization problem. Our method adds…

In this paper, we study a bilinear saddle point problem of the form $\min_{x}\max_{y} F(x) + \langle Ax, y \rangle - G(y)$, where $F$ and $G$ are $\mu_F$- and $\mu_G$-strongly convex functions, respectively. By incorporating Nesterov…

We consider stochastic convex optimization problems with affine constraints and develop several methods using either primal or dual approach to solve it. In the primal case, we use a special penalization technique to make the initial…

In this paper we propose a stochastic primal dual fixed point method (SPDFP) for solving the sum of two proper lower semi-continuous convex function and one of which is composite. The method is based on the primal dual fixed point method…

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 propose an extended primal-dual algorithm framework for solving a general nonconvex optimization model. This work is motivated by image reconstruction problems in a class of nonlinear imaging, where the forward operator can be formulated…

Golden ratio primal-dual algorithm (GRPDA) is a new variant of the classical Arrow-Hurwicz method for solving structured convex optimization problem, in which the objective function consists of the sum of two closed proper convex functions,…

This paper addresses a class of general nonsmooth and nonconvex composite optimization problems subject to nonlinear equality constraints. We assume that a part of the objective function and the functional constraints exhibit local…

The minimization of convex objectives coming from linear supervised learning problems, such as penalized generalized linear models, can be formulated as finite sums of convex functions. For such problems, a large set of stochastic…

Primal-dual algorithms for the resolution of convex-concave saddle point problems usually come with one or several step size parameters. Within the range where convergence is guaranteed, choosing well the step size can make the difference…
