The primal dual hybrid gradient algorithm (PDHG), which is also known as the Arrow-Hurwicz method, is a fundamental algorithm for saddle point problems especially in imaging. It also inspires a great number of influential algorithms such as…

This work designs an image restoration deep network relying on unfolded Chambolle-Pock primal-dual iterations. Each layer of our network is built from Chambolle-Pock iterations when specified for minimizing a sum of a $\ell_2$-norm…

Total variation (TV) is a widely used regularizer for stabilizing the solution of ill-posed inverse problems. In this paper, we propose a novel proximal-gradient algorithm for minimizing TV regularized least-squares cost functional. Our…

A fruitful approach for solving signal deconvolution problems consists of resorting to a frame-based convex variational formulation. In this context, parallel proximal algorithms and related alternating direction methods of multipliers have…

The MM principle is a device for creating optimization algorithms satisfying the ascent or descent property. The current survey emphasizes the role of the MM principle in nonlinear programming. For smooth functions, one can construct an…

Finite difference schemes, using Backward Differentiation Formula (BDF), are studied for the approximation of one-dimensional diffusion equations with an obstacle term, of the form $$\min(v_t - a(t,x) v_{xx} + b(t,x) v_x + r(t,x) v, v-…

The importance of an adequate inner loop starting point (as opposed to a sufficient inner loop stopping rule) is discussed in the context of a numerical optimization algorithm consisting of nested primal-dual proximal-gradient iterations.…

Data-processing inequalities capture the phenomenon that two probability distributions can only become less distinguishable under any common post-processing. For more fine-grained inequalities, one turns to strong data-processing inequality…

Optimization methods are at the core of many problems in signal/image processing, computer vision, and machine learning. For a long time, it has been recognized that looking at the dual of an optimization problem may drastically simplify…

We investigate a primal-dual (PD) method for the saddle point problem (SPP) that uses a linear approximation of the primal function instead of the standard proximal step, resulting in a linearized PD (LPD) method. For convex-strongly…

This paper proposes a novel proximal-gradient algorithm for a decentralized optimization problem with a composite objective containing smooth and non-smooth terms. Specifically, the smooth and nonsmooth terms are dealt with by gradient and…

The typical approach for recovery of spatially correlated signals is regularized least squares with a coupled regularization term. In the Bayesian framework, this algorithm is seen as a maximum-a-posterior estimator whose postulated prior…

An efficient nonlinear contrast source inversion scheme for electromagnetic imaging of sparse two-dimensional investigation domains is proposed. To avoid generating a sequence of linear sparse optimization problems, the non-linearity is…

This paper presents an improved forward-backward splitting algorithm with two inertial parameters. It aims to find a point in the real Hilbert space at which the sum of a co-coercive operator and a maximal monotone operator vanishes. Under…

Previous studies on stochastic primal-dual algorithms for solving min-max problems with faster convergence heavily rely on the bilinear structure of the problem, which restricts their applicability to a narrowed range of problems. The main…

We consider minimizing the composite function that consists of a strongly convex function and a convex function. The fast dual proximal gradient (FDPG) method decreases the dual function with a rate $O(1/k^2)$, leading to a rate $O(1/k)$…
