The augmented Lagrangian method (ALM) is one of the most successful first-order methods for convex programming with linear equality constraints. To solve the two-block separable convex minimization problem, we always use the parallel splitting ALM method. In this paper, we will show that no matter how small the step size and the penalty parameter are, the convergence of the parallel splitting ALM is not guaranteed. We propose a new convergent parallel splitting ALM (PSALM), which is the regularizing ALM’s minimization subproblem by some simple proximal terms. In application this new PSALM is used to solve video background extraction problems and our numerical results indicate that this new PSALM is efficient.

As a special three-block separable convex programming, the stable principal component pursuit (SPCP) arises in many different disciplines, such as statistical learning, signal processing, and web data ranking. In this paper, we propose a proximal fully parallel splitting method (PFPSM) for solving SPCP, in which the resulting subproblems all admit closed-form solutions and can be solved in distributed manners. Compared with other similar algorithms in the literature, PFPSM attaches a Glowinski relaxation factor η∈3/2,2/3 to the updating formula for its Lagrange multiplier, which can be used to accelerate the convergence of the generated sequence. Under mild conditions, the global convergence of PFPSM is proved. Preliminary computational results show that the proposed algorithm works very well in practice.
