The problem is reformulated as a system of non-smooth equations, and then a smoothing function for the system of non-smooth equations is proposed. The condition of convergences of this iteration algorithm is given. Theory analysis and primary numerical results illustrate that this method is feasible and effective.展开更多

In this paper, we first present an accelerated first-order method which chooses the step size 1/ Lk to be 1/ L0 at the beginning of each iteration and preserves the computational simplicity of the fast iterative shrinkage-thresholding algorithm. The first proposed algorithm is a non-monotone algorithm. To avoid this behavior, we present another accelerated monotone first-order method. The proposed two accelerated first-order methods are proved to have a better convergence rate for minimizing convex composite functions. Numerical results demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed two accelerated first-order methods.展开更多
