摘要: The alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM) is an effective method for solving wide fields of convex problems. At each iteration, the classical ADMM solves two subproblems exactly. However, in many applications, it is expensive or impossible to obtain the exact solutions of the subproblems. To overcome the difficulty, some proximal terms are added to the subproblems. We proposed a variable metric indefinite proximal ADMM, and give sufficient conditions on the proximal terms for the global convergence. Furthermore, based on the BFGS update (or limited memory BFGS), we propose a new semidefinite/indefinite proximal term which can satisfy the conditions for the global convergence. Experiments on several datasets demonstrated that our proposed algorithms outperform most of the comparison proximal ADMMs.
