Abstract

This paper proposes Triangularly Preconditioned Primal- Dual algorithm, a new primal-dual algorithm for minimizing the sum of a Lipschitz-differentiable convex function and two possibly nonsmooth convex functions, one of which is composed with a linear mapping. We devise a randomized block-coordinate ( BC) version of the algorithm which converges under the same stepsize conditions as the full algorithm. It is shown that both the original as well as the BC scheme feature linear convergence rate when the functions involved are either piecewise linear-quadratic, or when they satisfy a certain quadratic growth condition (which is weaker than strong convexity). Moreover, we apply the developed algorithms to the problem of multiagent optimization on a graph, thus obtaining novel synchronous and asynchronous distributed methods. The proposed algorithms are fully distributed in the sense that the updates and the stepsizes of each agent only depend on local information. In fact, no prior global coordination is required. Finally, we showcase an application of our algorithm in distributed formation control.
