Four Operator Splitting via a Forward-Backward-Half-Forward Algorithm with Line Search

Abstract

In this article we provide a splitting method for solving monotone inclusions in a real Hilbert space involving four operators: a maximally monotone, a monotone-Lipschitzian, a cocoercive, and a monotone-continuous operator. The proposed method takes advantage of the intrinsic properties of each operator, generalizing the forward-back-half forward splitting and the Tseng's algorithm with line-search. At each iteration, our algorithm defines the step-size by using a line search in which the monotone-Lipschitzian and the cocoercive operators need only one activation. We also derive a method for solving non-linearly constrained composite convex optimization problems in real Hilbert spaces. Finally, we implement our algorithm in a non-linearly constrained least-square problem, and we compare its performance with available methods in the literature.
