We propose a new primal-dual splitting method for solving composite inclusions involving Lipschitzian, and parallel-sum-type monotone operators. Our approach extends the framework in \cite{Siopt4} to a more general class of monotone…

Stochastic nonconvex-concave min-max saddle point problems appear in many machine learning and control problems including distributionally robust optimization, generative adversarial networks, and adversarial learning. In this paper, we…

The nonlinear, or warped, resolvent recently explored by Giselsson and B\`ui-Combettes has been used to model a large set of existing and new monotone inclusion algorithms. To establish convergent algorithms based on these resolvents,…

Our work considers the optimization of the sum of a non-smooth convex function and a finite family of composite convex functions, each one of which is composed of a convex function and a bounded linear operator. This type of problem is…

Many statistical learning problems can be posed as minimization of a sum of two convex functions, one typically a composition of non-smooth and linear functions. Examples include regression under structured sparsity assumptions. Popular…

We tackle highly nonconvex, nonsmooth composite optimization problems whose objectives comprise a Moreau-Yosida regularized term. Classical nonconvex proximal splitting algorithms, such as nonconvex ADMM, suffer from lack of convergence for…

In this paper, we design an inertial accelerated primal-dual algorithm to address the convex-concave saddle point problem, which is formulated as $\min_{x}\max_{y} f(x) + \langle Kx, y \rangle - g(y)$. Remarkably, both functions $f$ and $g$…

The Douglas-Rachford splitting method is a classical and widely used algorithm for solving monotone inclusions involving the sum of two maximally monotone operators. It was recently shown to be the unique frugal, no-lifting…

We propose new primal-dual decomposition algorithms for solving systems of inclusions involving sums of linearly composed maximally monotone operators. The principal innovation in these algorithms is that they are block-iterative in the…

We propose an unconstrained optimization method based on the well-known primal-dual hybrid gradient (PDHG) algorithm. We first formulate the optimality condition of the unconstrained optimization problem as a saddle point problem. We then…

In this paper we propose two different primal-dual splitting algorithms for solving inclusions involving mixtures of composite and parallel-sum type monotone operators which rely on an inexact Douglas-Rachford splitting method, however…

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…

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…

This paper deals with the analysis of a recent reformulation of the primal-dual hybrid gradient method [Zhu and Chan 2008, Pock, Cremers, Bischof and Chambolle 2009, Esser, Zhang and Chan 2010, Chambolle and Pock 2011], which allows to…

This paper studies the primal-dual convergence and iteration-complexity of proximal bundle methods for solving nonsmooth problems with convex structures. More specifically, we develop a family of primal-dual proximal bundle methods for…

We study and develop (stochastic) primal--dual block-coordinate descent methods for convex problems based on the method due to Chambolle and Pock. Our methods have known convergence rates for the iterates and the ergodic gap: $O(1/N^2)$ if…

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…

We consider the convex-concave saddle point problem $\min_{\mathbf{x}}\max_{\mathbf{y}}\Phi(\mathbf{x},\mathbf{y})$, where the decision variables $\mathbf{x}$ and/or $\mathbf{y}$ subject to a multi-block structure and affine coupling…

This paper investigates accelerating the convergence of distributed optimization algorithms on non-convex problems. We propose a distributed primal-dual stochastic gradient descent~(SGD) equipped with "powerball" method to accelerate. We…

Block Coordinate Update (BCU) methods enjoy low per-update computational complexity because every time only one or a few block variables would need to be updated among possibly a large number of blocks. They are also easily parallelized and…
