Many problems in science and engineering involve, as part of their solution process, the consideration of a separable function which is the sum of two convex functions, one of them possibly non-smooth. Recently a few works have discussed inexa

We develop new perturbation techniques for conducting convergence analysis of various first-order algorithms for a class of nonsmooth optimization problems. We consider the iteration scheme of an algorithm to construct a perturbed stationary point se t-valued map, and define the perturbing parameter by the difference of two consecutive iterates. Then, we show that the calmness condition of the induced set-valued map, together with a local version of the proper separation of stationary value condition, is a sufficient condition to ensure the linear convergence of the algorithm. The equivalence of the calmness condition to the one for the canonically perturbed stationary point set-valued map is proved, and this equivalence allows us to derive some sufficient conditions for calmness by using some recent developments in variational analysis. These sufficient conditions are different from existing results (especially, those error-bound-based ones) in that they can be easily verified for many concrete application models. Our analysis is focused on the fundamental proximal gradient (PG) method, and it enables us to show that any accumulation of the sequence generated by the PG method must be a stationary point in terms of the proximal subdifferential, instead of the limiting subdifferential. This result finds the surprising fact that the solution quality found by the PG method is in general superior. Our analysis also leads to some improvement for the linear convergence results of the PG method in the convex case. The new perturbation technique can be conveniently used to derive linear rate convergence of a number of other first-order methods including the well-known alternating direction method of multipliers and primal-dual hybrid gradient method, under mild assumptions.
We propose and analyze the convergence of a novel stochastic algorithm for solving monotone inclusions that are the sum of a maximal monotone operator and a monotone, Lipschitzian operator. The propose algorithm requires only unbiased estimations of the Lipschitzian operator. We obtain the rate $mathcal{O}(log(n)/n)$ in expectation for the strongly monotone case, as well as almost sure convergence for the general case. Furthermore, in the context of application to convex-concave saddle point problems, we derive the rate of the primal-dual gap. In particular, we also obtain $mathcal{O}(1/n)$ rate convergence of the primal-dual gap in the deterministic setting.
In this paper we study randomized optimal stopping problems and consider corresponding forward and backward Monte Carlo based optimisation algorithms. In particular we prove the convergence of the proposed algorithms and derive the corresponding convergence rates.
This work studies a class of non-smooth decentralized multi-agent optimization problems where the agents aim at minimizing a sum of local strongly-convex smooth components plus a common non-smooth term. We propose a general primal-dual algorithmic fr amework that unifies many existing state-of-the-art algorithms. We establish linear convergence of the proposed method to the exact solution in the presence of the non-smooth term. Moreover, for the more general class of problems with agent specific non-smooth terms, we show that linear convergence cannot be achieved (in the worst case) for the class of algorithms that uses the gradients and the proximal mappings of the smooth and non-smooth parts, respectively. We further provide a numerical counterexample that shows how some state-of-the-art algorithms fail to converge linearly for strongly-convex objectives and different local non-smooth terms.

In this paper, we develop a symmetric accelerated stochastic Alternating Direction Method of Multipliers (SAS-ADMM) for solving separable convex optimization problems with linear constraints. The objective function is the sum of a possibly nonsmooth convex function and an average function of many smooth convex functions. Our proposed algorithm combines both ideas of ADMM and the techniques of accelerated stochastic gradient methods using variance reduction to solve the smooth subproblem. One main feature of SAS-ADMM {is} that its dual variable is symmetrically updated after each update of the separated primal variable, which would allow a more flexible and larger convergence region of the dual variable compared with that of standard deterministic or stochastic ADMM. This new stochastic optimization algorithm is shown to converge in expectation with $C{O}(1/T)$ convergence rate, where $T$ is the number of outer iterations. In addition, 3-block extensions of the algorithm and its variant of an accelerated stochastic augmented Lagrangian method are also discussed. Our preliminary numerical experiments indicate the proposed algorithm is very effective for solving separable optimization problems from big-data applications
