Lipschitz continuity of the gradient mapping of a continuously differentiable function plays a crucial role in designing various optimization algorithms. However, many functions arising in practical applications such as low rank matrix factorization or deep neural network problems do not have a Lipschitz continuous gradient. This led to the development of a generalized notion known as the L-smad property, which is based on generalized proximity measures called Bregman distances. We propose the MAP property, which generalizes the L-smad property and is also valid for a large class of nonconvex nonsmooth composite problems. Based on the proposed MAP property, we develop a globally convergent algorithm called Model BPG and an inertial variant, that unifies several existing algorithms.
