Abstract
We discuss the possibility of reducing the alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM) to a simple resolvent form, based on a degenerate proximal point algorithm (PPA). In particular, we reformulate ADMM as a standard PPA without correction step, where the variable metric helps to identify and remove the redundant variables. This approach can be a general routine for the degeneracy reduction of any splitting algorithms.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Computational and Applied Mathematics publishes original papers of high scientific value in all areas of computational and applied mathematics. The main interest of the Journal is in papers that describe and analyze new computational techniques for solving scientific or engineering problems. Also the improved analysis, including the effectiveness and applicability, of existing methods and algorithms is of importance. The computational efficiency (e.g. the convergence, stability, accuracy, ...) should be proved and illustrated by nontrivial numerical examples. Papers describing only variants of existing methods, without adding significant new computational properties are not of interest.
The audience consists of: applied mathematicians, numerical analysts, computational scientists and engineers.
