Abstract

It has been shown that many first-order methods satisfy the perturbed Fenchel duality inequality, which yields a unified derivation of convergence. More first-order methods are discussed in this paper, e.g., dual averaging and bundle method. We show primal-dual convergence of them on convex optimization by proving the perturbed Fenchel duality property. We also propose a single-cut bundle method for saddle problem, and prove its convergence in a similar manner.
