We study the problem of detecting infeasibility of large-scale linear programming problems using the primal-dual hybrid gradient method (PDHG) of Chambolle and Pock (2011). The literature on PDHG has mostly focused on settings where the problem at hand is assumed to be feasible. When the problem is not feasible, the iterates of the algorithm do not converge. In this scenario, we show that the iterates diverge at a controlled rate towards a well-defined ray. The direction of this ray is known as the infimal displacement vector $v$. The first contribution of our work is to prove that this vector recovers certificates of primal and dual infeasibility whenever they exist. Based on this fact, we propose a simple way to extract approximate infeasibility certificates from the iterates of PDHG. We study three different sequences that converge to the infimal displacement vector: the difference of iterates, the normalized iterates, and the normalized average. All of them are easy to compute, and thus the approach is suitable for large-scale problems. Our second contribution is to establish tight convergence rates for these sequences. We demonstrate that the normalized iterates and the normalized average achieve a convergence rate of $O(1/k)$, improving over the known rate of $O(1/sqrt{k})$. This rate is general and applies to any fixed-point iteration of a nonexpansive operator. Thus, it is a result of independent interest since it covers a broad family of algorithms, including, for example, ADMM, and can be applied settings beyond linear programming, such as quadratic and semidefinite programming. Further, in the case of linear programming we show that, under nondegeneracy assumptions, the iterates of PDHG identify the active set of an auxiliary feasible problem in finite time, which ensures that the difference of iterates exhibits eventual linear convergence to the infimal displacement vector.

A constrained optimization problem is primal infeasible if its constraints cannot be satisfied, and dual infeasible if the constraints of its dual problem cannot be satisfied. We propose a novel iterative method, named proportional-integral projected gradient method (PIPG), for detecting primal and dual infeasiblity in convex optimization with quadratic objective function and conic constraints. The iterates of PIPG either asymptotically provide a proof of primal or dual infeasibility, or asymptotically satisfy a set of primal-dual optimality conditions. Unlike existing methods, PIPG does not compute matrix inverse, which makes it better suited for large-scale and real-time applications. We demonstrate the application of PIPG in quasiconvex and mixed-integer optimization using examples in constrained optimal control.
In this work, we revisit a classical incremental implementation of the primal-descent dual-ascent gradient method used for the solution of equality constrained optimization problems. We provide a short proof that establishes the linear (exponential) convergence of the algorithm for smooth strongly-convex cost functions and study its relation to the non-incremental implementation. We also study the effect of the augmented Lagrangian penalty term on the performance of distributed optimization algorithms for the minimization of aggregate cost functions over multi-agent networks.

The augmented Lagrangian method (ALM) is a fundamental tool for solving the canonical convex minimization problem with linear constraints, and efficiently and easily how to implement the original ALM is affirmatively significant. Recently, He and Yua n have proposed a balanced version of ALM [B.S. He and X.M. Yuan, arXiv:2108.08554, 2021], which reshapes the original ALM by balancing its subproblems and makes the benchmark ALM easier to implement without any additional condition. In practice, the balanced ALM updates the new iterate by a primal-dual order. In this note, exploiting the variational inequality structure of the most recent balanced ALM, we propose a dual-primal version of the balanced ALM for linearly constrained convex minimization problems. The novel proposed method generates the new iterate by a dual-primal order and enjoys the same computational difficulty with the original primal-dual balanced ALM. Furthermore, under the lens of the proximal point algorithm, we conduct the convergence analysis of the novel introduced method in the context of variational inequalities. Numerical tests on the basic pursuit problem demonstrate that the introduced method enjoys the same high efficiency with the prototype balanced ALM.
In this paper, we investigate the continuous time partial primal-dual gradient dynamics (P-PDGD) for solving convex optimization problems with the form $ minlimits_{xin X,yinOmega} f({x})+h(y), textit{s.t.} A{x}+By=C $, where $ f({x}) $ is strongly c onvex and smooth, but $ h(y) $ is strongly convex and non-smooth. Affine equality and set constraints are included. We prove the exponential stability of P-PDGD, and bounds on decaying rates are provided. Moreover, it is also shown that the decaying rates can be regulated by setting the stepsize.
We introduce primal and dual stochastic gradient oracle methods for decentralized convex optimization problems. Both for primal and dual oracles, the proposed methods are optimal in terms of the number of communication steps. However, for all classes of the objective, the optimality in terms of the number of oracle calls per node takes place only up to a logarithmic factor and the notion of smoothness. By using mini-batching technique, we show that the proposed methods with stochastic oracle can be additionally parallelized at each node. The considered algorithms can be applied to many data science problems and inverse problems.
