TL;DR

A novel proximal difference-of-convex (DC) algorithmic framework to solve general non-convex, non-smooth optimization problems is proposed by combining Barzilai-Borwein (BB) step sizes with nonmonotone line search strategies and develops extrapolation mechanisms to accelerate convergence while ensuring global stability.

Abstract

The paper proposes a novel proximal difference-of-convex (DC) algorithmic framework to solve general non-convex, non-smooth optimization problems. By combining Barzilai-Borwein (BB) step sizes with nonmonotone line search strategies, our approach effectively overcomes the conservative step sizes and stability issues inherent in standard proximal DC algorithms. Furthermore, we develop extrapolation mechanisms to accelerate convergence while ensuring global stability. The global convergence of the proposed algorithms is rigorously established under the Kurdyka-\L ojasiewicz property. Numerical experiments on the SCAD-regularized least squares problem and graphic Ginzburg-Landau image segmentation models demonstrate that the proposed methods achieve highly competitive efficiency and accuracy compared to existing DC algorithms.
