摘要

In aHilbert spaceH, we introduce a newclass of first-order algorithms which naturally occur as discrete temporal versions of an inertial differential inclusion jointly involving viscous friction and dry friction. The function f : H -> Rto be minimized is supposed to be differentiable (not necessarily convex), and enters the algorithm via its gradient. The dry friction damping function phi : H -> R+ is convex with a sharp minimum at the origin, (typically phi(x) = r parallel to x parallel to with r > 0). It enters the algorithm via its proximal mapping, which acts as a soft threshold operator on the velocities. As a result, we obtain a new class of splitting algorithms involving separately the proximal and gradient steps. The sequence of iterates has a finite length, and therefore strongly converges towards an approximate critical point x(infinity) of f (typically parallel to del f (x(infinity))parallel to = r). Under a geometric property satisfied by the limit point x(infinity), we obtain geometric and finite rates of convergence. The convergence results tolerate the presence of errors, under the sole assumption of their asymptotic convergence towards zero. By replacing the function f by its Moreau envelope, we extend the results to the case of nonsmooth convex functions. In this case, the algorithm involves the proximal operators of f and f separately. Several variants of this algorithm are considered, including the case of the Nesterov accelerated gradient method. We then consider the extension in the case of additive composite optimization, thus leading to new splitting methods. Numerical experiments are given for Lasso-type problems. The performance profiles, as a comparison tool, demonstrate the efficiency of the Nesterov accelerated method with asymptotic vanishing damping combined with dry friction.
