Alternating Proximal Gradient Method for Convex Minimization
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper, we propose an alternating proximal gradient method that solves convex minimization problems with three or more separable blocks in the objective function. Our method is based on the framework of alternating direction method of multipliers. The main computational effort in each iteration of the proposed method is to compute the proximal mappings of the involved convex functions. The global convergence result of the proposed method is established. We show that many interesting problems arising from machine learning, statistics, medical imaging and computer vision can be solved by the proposed method. Numerical results on problems such as latent variable graphical model selection, stable principal component pursuit and compressive principal component pursuit are presented.

A note on the ergodic convergence of symmetric alternating proximal gradient method
We consider the alternating proximal gradient method (APGM) proposed to solve a convex minimization model with linear constraints and separable objective function which is the sum of two functions without coupled variables. Inspired by Peaceman-Rachford splitting method (PRSM), a nature idea is to extend APGM to the symmetric alternating proximal gradient method (SAPGM), which can be viewed as ...
متن کاملAn Extragradient-Based Alternating Direction Method for Convex Minimization
In this paper, we consider the problem of minimizing the sum of two convex functions subject to linear linking constraints. The classical alternating direction type methods usually assume that the two convex functions have relatively easy proximal mappings. However, many problems arising from statistics, image processing and other fields have the structure that only one of the two functions has...
متن کاملLocal Convergence of the Heavy-ball Method and iPiano for Non-convex Optimization
A local convergence result for abstract descent methods is proved. The sequence of iterates is attracted by a local (or global) minimum, stays in its neighborhood and converges. This result allows algorithms to exploit local properties of the objective function: The gradient of the Moreau envelope of a prox-regular functions is locally Lipschitz continuous and expressible in terms of the proxim...
متن کاملA Projected Alternating Least square Approach for Computation of Nonnegative Matrix Factorization
Nonnegative matrix factorization (NMF) is a common method in data mining that have been used in different applications as a dimension reduction, classification or clustering method. Methods in alternating least square (ALS) approach usually used to solve this non-convex minimization problem. At each step of ALS algorithms two convex least square problems should be solved, which causes high com...
متن کاملAn Accelerated Proximal Coordinate Gradient Method
We develop an accelerated randomized proximal coordinate gradient (APCG) method, for solving a broad class of composite convex optimization problems. In particular, our method achieves faster linear convergence rates for minimizing strongly convex functions than existing randomized proximal coordinate gradient methods. We show how to apply the APCG method to solve the dual of the regularized em...
