Abstract

We introduce a first-order Mirror-Descent (MD) type algorithm for solving nondifferentiable convex problems having a combination of simple constraint set X (ball, simplex, etc.) and an additional functional constraint. The method is tuned to exploit the structure of X by employing an appropriate non-Euclidean distance-like function. Convergence results and efficiency estimates are derived. The performance of the algorithm is demonstrated by solving certain image deblurring problems.
