The sequence of iterates generated by the algorithm converges to a critical point of the objective function provided an appropriate regularization of the objective satisfies the Kurdyka-\\L{}ojasiewicz inequality, which is for instance fulfilled for semi-algebraic functions. We illustrate the theoretical results by considering two numerical experiments: the first one concerns the ability of recovering the local optimal solutions of nonconvex optimization problems, while the second one refers to the restoration of a noisy blurred image.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2014-10-02T18:52:27.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "90C26", "90C30", "65K10" ], "keywords": [ "inertial forward-backward algorithm", "nonconvex functions", "minimization", "local optimal solutions", "nonconvex optimization problems" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2014arXiv1410.0641I" } } }
