The Condat-V\~u algorithm is a widely used primal-dual method for optimizing composite objectives of three functions. Several algorithms for optimizing composite objectives of two functions are special cases of Condat-V\~u, including…
In this paper, we focus on solving an important class of nonconvex optimization problems which includes many problems for example signal processing over a networked multi-agent system and distributed learning over networks. Motivated by…
A new stochastic primal--dual algorithm for solving a composite optimization problem is proposed. It is assumed that all the functions/operators that enter the optimization problem are given as statistical expectations. These expectations…
In this paper we investigate the convergence of a recently popular class of first-order primal-dual algorithms for saddle point problems under the presence of errors occurring in the proximal maps and gradients. We study several types of…
In this paper, we propose an inertial accelerated primal-dual method for the linear equality constrained convex optimization problem. When the objective function has a ``nonsmooth + smooth'' composite structure, we further propose an…
By time discretization of a second-order primal-dual dynamical system with damping $\alpha/t$ where an inertial construction in the sense of Nesterov is needed only for the primal variable, we propose a fast primal-dual algorithm for a…
The primal-dual hybrid gradient (PDHG) method is one of the most popular algorithms for solving saddle point problems. However, when applying the PDHG method and its many variants to some real-world models commonly encountered in signal…
We are interested in solving convex optimization problems with large numbers of constraints. Randomized algorithms, such as random constraint sampling, have been very successful in giving nearly optimal solutions to such problems. In this…
In this paper, we propose the primal-dual method of multipliers (PDMM) for distributed optimization over a graph. In particular, we optimize a sum of convex functions defined over a graph, where every edge in the graph carries a linear…
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…
In this paper, we present novel randomized algorithms for solving saddle point problems whose dual feasible region is given by the direct product of many convex sets. Our algorithms can achieve an ${\cal O}(1/N)$ and ${\cal O}(1/N^2)$ rate…
We consider a wide range of regularized stochastic minimization problems with two regularization terms, one of which is composed with a linear function. This optimization model abstracts a number of important applications in artificial…
We study the Constrained Convex Markov Decision Process (MDP), where the goal is to minimize a convex functional of the visitation measure, subject to a convex constraint. Designing algorithms for a constrained convex MDP faces several…
In this work we consider a possibility to use the conception of $(\delta, L)$-model of a function for optimization tasks, whereby solving a primal problem there is a necessity to recover a solution of a dual problem. The conception of…
We study three families of online convex optimization algorithms: follow-the-proximally-regularized-leader (FTRL-Proximal), regularized dual averaging (RDA), and composite-objective mirror descent. We first prove equivalence theorems that…
The problem of constrained Markov decision process (CMDP) is investigated, where an agent aims to maximize the expected accumulated discounted reward subject to multiple constraints on its utilities/costs. A new primal-dual approach is…
The primal-dual splitting algorithm (PDSA) by Chambolle and Pock is efficient for solving structured convex optimization problems. It adopts an extrapolation step and achieves convergence under certain step size condition. Chang and Yang…
We propose and analyse primal-dual interior-point algorithms for convex optimization problems in conic form. The families of algorithms we analyse are so-called short-step algorithms and they match the current best iteration complexity…
In this paper we combine the stochastic variance reduced gradient (SVRG) method [17] with the primal dual fixed point method (PDFP) proposed in [7] to solve a sum of two convex functions and one of which is linearly composite. This type of…
In this paper we propose a class of randomized primal-dual methods to contend with large-scale saddle point problems defined by a convex-concave function $\mathcal{L}(\mathbf{x},y)\triangleq\sum_{i=1}^m f_i(x_i)+\Phi(\mathbf{x},y)-h(y)$. We…
