The Chambolle-Pock method converges weakly with 0 < θ ≤ 1/2 and τσ|L|2 < 4θ(2−θ)/(1 − 2θ + 9θ2 − 4θ3)
Abstract
The Chambolle-Pock method, also known as the primal-dual hybrid gradient method, is a standard first-order algorithm for convex-concave saddle-point problems and composite convex optimization. We establish weak sequential convergence of its primal-dual iterates in real Hilbert spaces for every 0<θ≤ 1/2 whenever τσ|L|2<4θ(2−θ)/(1−2θ+9θ2−4θ3). This extends the weak-convergence theory to a previously unexplored range of extrapolation parameters.
