The approach is based on a continuously differentiable function, the Douglas-Rachford Envelope (DRE), whose stationary points correspond to the solutions of the original (possibly nonsmooth) problem. By proving the equivalence between the Douglas-Rachford splitting method and a scaled gradient method applied to the DRE, results from smooth unconstrained optimization are employed to analyze convergence properties of DRS, to tune the method and to derive an accelerated version of it. date: 2014-12 date_type: published publisher: IEEE pagerange: 4234-4239 event_title: IEEE 53rd Annual Conference on Decision and Control (CDC), 2014 event_location: Los Angeles, CA event_dates: 15-17 December, 2014 event_type: conference id_number: 10.1109/CDC.2014.7040049 refereed: TRUE isbn: 978-1-4799-7746-8 book_title: IEEE 53rd Annual Conference on Decision and Control (CDC), 2014 official_url: http://dx.doi.org/10.1109/CDC.2014.7040049 citation: Patrinos, Panagiotis and Stella, Lorenzo and Bemporad, Alberto Douglas-rachford splitting: Complexity estimates and accelerated variants.
