摘要

The task of dividing corrupted-data into their respective subspaces can be well illustrated, both theoretically and numerically, by recovering low-rank and sparse-column components of a given matrix. Generally, it can be characterized as a matrix and a 2,1-norm involved convex minimization problem. However, solving the resulting problem is full of challenges due to the non-smoothness of the objective function. One of the earliest solvers is an 3-block alternating direction method of multipliers(ADMM) which updates each variable in a Gauss-Seidel manner. In this paper, we present three variants of ADMM for the 3-block separable minimization problem. More preciously, whenever one variable is derived, the resulting problems can be regarded as a convex minimization with 2 blocks, and can be solved immediately using the standard ADMM. If the inner iteration loops only once, the iterative scheme reduces to the ADMM with updates in a Gauss-Seidel manner. If the solution from the inner iteration is assumed to be exact, the convergence can be deduced easily in the literature. The performance comparisons with a couple of recently designed solvers illustrate that the proposed methods are effective and competitive.
