Abstract

A nonsmooth PGD scheme for minimizing a nonsmooth convex function is presented. In the parallelization step of the algorithm, a method due to Pang, Han and Pangaraj (1991), [7], is employed to solve a subproblem for constructing search directions. The convergence analysis is given as well.
