        摘要: In this talk, I will introduce the proposed  preconditioned version of the Douglas–Rachford splitting method for solving convex-concave saddle-point problems and its accelerating variant. Our approach makes it possible to use approximate solvers for the linear subproblem arising in this context. We prove weak convergence in Hilbert space under minimal assumptions. In particular, various efficient preconditioners are introduced in this framework for which only a few inner iterations are needed instead of computing an exact solution or controlling the error.
The accelerated and preconditioned versions of the Douglas-Rachford splitting method for saddle-point problem will also be introduced briefly, whose ergodic convergence rate is optimal under mild assumptions.
These methods are applied to non-smooth and convex variational imaging problems. Numerical experiments show that the proposed algorithms with appropriate preconditioners are very competitive with existing fast algorithms including the first-order primal-dual algorithm and its acceleration for saddle-point problems of Chambolle and Pock.
