A cut-and-project perspective for linearized Bregman iterations (2404.09776v1)

Abstract: The linearized Bregman iterations (LBreI) and its variants are powerful tools for finding sparse or low-rank solutions to underdetermined linear systems. In this study, we propose a cut-and-project perspective for the linearized Bregman method via a bilevel optimization formulation, along with a new unified algorithmic framework. The new perspective not only encompasses various existing linearized Bregman iteration variants as specific instances, but also allows us to extend the linearized Bregman method to solve more general inverse problems. We provide a completed convergence result of the proposed algorithmic framework, including convergence guarantees to feasible points and optimal solutions, and the sublinear convergence rate. Moreover, we introduce the Bregman distance growth condition to ensure linear convergence. At last, our findings are illustrated via numerical tests.
