The classical DC algorithm (DCA) is well-known for solving this kind of problems, which returns a critical point. Recently, de Oliveira and Tcheo incorporated the inertial-force procedure into DCA (InDCA) for potential acceleration and preventing the algorithm from converging to a critical point which is not d(directional)-stationary. In this paper, based on InDCA, we propose two refined inertial DCA (RInDCA) with enlarged inertial step-sizes for better acceleration. We demonstrate the subsequential convergence of our refined versions to a critical point. In addition, by assuming the Kurdyka-Lojasiewicz (KL) property of the objective function, we establish the sequential convergence of RInDCA. Numerical simulations on image restoration problem show the benefit of enlarged step-size.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2021-04-30T04:21:57.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "90C26", "90C30", "68U10" ], "keywords": [ "refined inertial dca", "dc programming", "critical point", "objective function", "image restoration problem" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 27, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
