Abstract

This paper establishes the iteration complexity of an inner accelerated inexact proximal augmented Lagrangian (IAIPAL) method for solving linearly constrained smooth nonconvex composite optimization problems that is based on the classical augmented Lagrangian (AL) function. More specifically, each IAIPAL iteration consists of inexactly solving a proximal AL subproblem by an accelerated composite gradient (ACG) method followed by a classical Lagrange multiplier update. Under the assumption that the domain of the composite function is bounded and the problem has a Slater point, it is shown that IAIPAL generates an approximate stationary solution in ACG iterations where is a tolerance for both stationarity and feasibility. Moreover, the above bound is derived without assuming that the initial point is feasible. Finally, numerical results are presented to demonstrate the strong practical performance of IAIPAL.
