Smooth Alternating Direction Methods for Nonsmooth Constrained Convex Optimization

14 Jul 2015  ·  Quoc Tran-Dinh, Volkan Cevher ·

We propose two new alternating direction methods to solve "fully" nonsmooth constrained convex problems. Our algorithms have the best known worst-case iteration-complexity guarantee under mild assumptions for both the objective residual and feasibility gap. Through theoretical analysis, we show how to update all the algorithmic parameters automatically with clear impact on the convergence performance. We also provide a representative numerical example showing the advantages of our methods over the classical alternating direction methods using a well-known feasibility problem.
