Moreover, for a large class of loss functions and regularizers, the KL exponent of the corresponding potential function are shown to be 1/2, which implies that the pDCA$_e$ is locally linearly convergent when applied to these problems.

We consider a class of nonconvex nonsmooth optimization problems whose objective is the sum of a smooth function and a finite number of nonnegative proper closed possibly nonsmooth functions (whose proximal mappings are easy to compute), some of which are further composed with linear maps.

In this paper, we further study the forward-backward envelope first introduced in [28] and [30] for problems whose objective is the sum of a proper closed convex function and a twice continuously differentiable possibly nonconvex function with Lipschitz continuous gradient.
