Abstract
In this paper, we consider the linearly constrained \(\ell _1\)–\(\ell _2\) minimization, and we propose an accelerated Bregman method for solving this minimization problem. The proposed method is based on the extrapolation technique, which is used in accelerated proximal gradient methods proposed by Nesterov and others, and on the equivalence between the Bregman method and the augmented Lagrangian method. A convergence rate of \(\mathcal{O }(\frac{1}{k^2})\) is proved for the proposed method when it is applied to solve a more general linearly constrained nonsmooth convex minimization problem. We numerically test our proposed method on a synthetic problem from compressive sensing. The numerical results confirm that our accelerated Bregman method is faster than the original Bregman method.
