An Inexact Perturbed Path-Following Method for Lagrangian Decomposition in Large-Scale Separable Convex Optimization
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper studies an inexact perturbed path-following algorithm in the framework of Lagrangian dual decomposition for solving large-scale separable convex programming problems. Unlike the exact versions considered in the literature, we propose to solve the primal subproblems inexactly up to a given accuracy. This leads to an inexactness of the gradient vector and the Hessian matrix of the smoothed dual function. An inexact perturbed algorithm is then applied to minimize the smoothed dual function. The algorithm consists of two phases and both make use of the inexact derivative information of the smoothed dual problem. The convergence of the algorithm is analyzed and the worst-case complexity is estimated. As a special case, an exact path-following decomposition algorithm is obtained and its worst-case complexity is estimated. Implementation details are discussed and preliminary numerical results are reported.

An interior-point Lagrangian decomposition method for separable convex optimization
In this paper we propose a distributed algorithm for solving large-scale separable convex problems using Lagrangian dual decomposition and the interior-point framework. By adding self-concordant barrier terms to the ordinary Lagrangian we prove under mild assumptions that the corresponding family of augmented dual functions is self-concordant. This makes it possible to efficiently use the Newto...

متن کاملCombining Lagrangian Decomposition and Excessive Gap Smoothing Technique for Solving Large-Scale Separable Convex Optimization Problems
A new algorithm for solving large-scale convex optimization problems with a separable objective function is proposed. The basic idea is to combine three techniques: Lagrangian dual decomposition, excessive gap and smoothing. The main advantage of this algorithm is that it dynamically updates the smoothness parameters which leads to numerically robust performance. The convergence of the algorith...
