报告摘要：In this talk, we introduce a generalized asymmetric forward-backward-adjoint algorithm (G-AFBA) to solve a kind of saddle-point problems. Except enjoying proximal subproblems, G-AFBA enjoys more flexible and larger proximal stepsizes. We establish the global convergence and sublinear convergence rate of G-AFBA in the ergodic and pointwise senses. The linear convergence rate of G-AFBA is discussed briefly. We further discuss the application of G-AFBA to a multi-block separable convex optimization problem and a stochastic G-AFBA for solving a well-known machine learning problem. Experiments on testing the robust principal component analysis and the 3D CT reconstruction problems show that the proposed method outperforms several state-of-the-art methods.
