In the literature, there are a few researches to design some parameters in the Proximal Point Algorithm (PPA), especially for the multi-objective convex optimizations. Introducing some parameters to PPA can make it more flexible and attractive. Mainly motivated by our recent work (Bai et al., A parameterized proximal point algorithm for separable convex optimization, Optim. ), in this paper we develop a general parameterized PPA with a relaxation step for solving the multi-block separable structured convex programming. By making use of the variational inequality and some mathematical identities, the global convergence and the worst-case O(1/t) convergence rate of the proposed algorithm are established. Preliminary numerical experiments on solving a sparse matrix minimization problem from statistical learning validate that our algorithm is more efficient than several state-of-the-art algorithms.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
