An inexact primal-dual algorithm for semi-infinite programming

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: This paper considers an inexact primal-dual algorithm for semi-infinite programming (SIP) for which it provides general error bounds. To implement the dual variable update, we create a new prox function for nonnegative measures which turns out to be a generalization of the Kullback-Leibler divergence for probability distributions. We show that under suitable conditions on the error, this algorithm achieves an mathcalO(1/sqrtK) rate of convergence in terms of the optimality gap and constraint violation. We then use our general error bounds to analyze the convergence and sample complexity of a specific primal-dual SIP algorithm based on Monte Carlo integration. Finally, we provide numerical experiments to demonstrate the performance of our algorithm.
