Linear Convergence of Proximal Gradient Algorithm with Extrapolation for a Class of Nonconvex Nonsmooth Minimization Problems

In this paper, we study the proximal gradient algorithm with extrapolation for minimizing the sum of a Lipschitz differentiable function and a proper closed convex function. Under the error bound condition used in [19] for analyzing the convergence of the proximal gradient algorithm, we show that there exists a threshold such that if the extrapolation coefficients are chosen below this threshold, then the sequence generated converges $R$-linearly to a stationary point of the problem. Moreover, the corresponding sequence of objective values is also $R$-linearly convergent. In addition, the threshold reduces to $1$ for convex problems and, as a consequence, we obtain the $R$-linear convergence of the sequence generated by FISTA with fixed restart. Finally, we present some numerical experiments to illustrate our results.
