A generalized forward-backward splitting operator: Degenerate analysis and applications

Abstract

In this paper, we study the nonexpansive properties of a generalized forward-backward splitting (G-FBS) operator, particularly under the setting of degenerate metric, from which follow the convergence results in terms of degenerate metric of the associated fixed-point iterations. The descent lemma and sufficient decrease property are also extended to degenerate case. It is further shown that the G-FBS operator provides a simplifying and unifying framework to model and analyze a great variety of operator splitting algorithms, many existing results are exactly recovered or relaxed from our general results.
