Abstract: A new algorithm for solving large-scale convex optimization problems with a separable objective function is proposed. The basic idea is to combine three techniques: Lagrangian dual decomposition, excessive gap and smoothing. The main advantage of this algorithm is that it dynamically updates the smoothness parameters which leads to numerically robust performance. The convergence of the algorithm is proved under weak conditions imposed on the original problem. The rate of convergence is O(frac1k), where k is the iteration counter. In the second part of the paper, the algorithm is coupled with a dual scheme to construct a switching variant of the dual decomposition. We discuss implementation issues and make a theoretical comparison. Numerical examples confirm the theoretical results.
