Dynamical systems and forward-backward algorithms associated with the sum of a convex subdifferential and a monotone cocoercive operator
In a Hilbert framework, we introduce continuous and discrete dynamical
systems which aim at solving inclusions governed by structured monotone
operators , where is the subdifferential of a
convex lower semicontinuous function , and is a monotone cocoercive
operator. We first consider the extension to this setting of the regularized
Newton dynamic with two potentials. Then, we revisit some related dynamical
systems, namely the semigroup of contractions generated by , and the
continuous gradient projection dynamic. By a Lyapunov analysis, we show the
convergence properties of the orbits of these systems.
The time discretization of these dynamics gives various forward-backward
splitting methods (some new) for solving structured monotone inclusions
involving non-potential terms. The convergence of these algorithms is obtained
under classical step size limitation. Perspectives are given in the field of
numerical splitting methods for optimization, and multi-criteria decision
processes.Comment: 25 page
Generalized Forward-Backward Splitting
This paper introduces the generalized forward-backward splitting algorithm
for minimizing convex functions of the form , where
has a Lipschitz-continuous gradient and the 's are simple in the sense
that their Moreau proximity operators are easy to compute. While the
forward-backward algorithm cannot deal with more than non-smooth
function, our method generalizes it to the case of arbitrary . Our method
makes an explicit use of the regularity of in the forward step, and the
proximity operators of the 's are applied in parallel in the backward
step. This allows the generalized forward backward to efficiently address an
important class of convex problems. We prove its convergence in infinite
dimension, and its robustness to errors on the computation of the proximity
operators and of the gradient of . Examples on inverse problems in imaging
demonstrate the advantage of the proposed methods in comparison to other
splitting algorithms.Comment: 24 pages, 4 figure
