<p style='text-indent:20px;'>In this paper, we consider the general first order primal-dual algorithm, which covers several recent popular algorithms such as the one proposed in [Chambolle, A. and Pock T., A first-order primal-dual algorithm for convex problems with applications to imaging, J. Math. Imaging Vis., 40 (2011) 120-145] as a special case. Under suitable conditions, we prove its global convergence and analyze its linear rate of convergence. As compared to the results in the literature, we derive the corresponding results for the general case and under weaker conditions. Furthermore, the global linear rate of the linearized primal-dual algorithm is established in the same analytical framework.</p>

This paper suggests two novel ideas to develop new proximal variable-metric methods for solving a class of composite convex optimization problems. The first idea is to utilize a new parameterization strategy of the optimality condition to design a class of homotopy proximal variable-metric algorithms that can achieve linear convergence and finite global iteration-complexity bounds. We identify at least three subclasses of convex problems in which our approach can apply to achieve linear convergence rates. The second idea is a new primal-dual-primal framework for implementing proximal Newton methods that has attractive computational features for a subclass of nonsmooth composite convex minimization problems. We specialize the proposed algorithm to solve a covariance estimation problem in order to demonstrate its computational advantages. Numerical experiments on the four concrete applications are given to illustrate the theoretical and computational advances of the new methods compared with other state-of-the-art algorithms.

Abstract We consider so-called Yang-Baxter deformations of bosonic string sigma- models, based on an R-matrix solving the (modified) classical Yang-Baxter equation. It is known that a unimodularity condition on R is sufficient for Weyl invariance at least to two loops (first order in α′). Here we ask what the necessary condition is. We find that in cases where the matrix (G + B)mn, constructed from the metric and B-field of the undeformed background, is degenerate the unimodularity condition arising at one loop can be replaced by weaker conditions. We further show that for non-unimodular deformations satisfying the one-loop conditions the Weyl invariance extends at least to two loops (first order in α′). The calculations are simplified by working in an O(D, D)-covariant doubled formulation.

Many application problems of practical interest can be posed as structured convex optimization models. In this paper, we study a new first-order primaldual algorithm. The method can be easily implementable, provided that the resolvent operators of the component objective functions are simple to evaluate. We show that the proposed method can be interpreted as a proximal point algorithm with a customized metric proximal parameter. Convergence property is established under the analytic contraction framework. Finally, we verify the efficiency of the algorithm by solving the stable principal component pursuit problem.
