Resolvent Splitting with Minimal Lifting

Matthew Tam (The University of Melbourne)

In this talk, we examine some fundamental limitations of fixed point algorithms for finding a zero in the sum of n ≥ 2 maximally monotone operators using their resolvents. A common approach to this problem involves reformulating as an equivalent two operator inclusion within an n - fold Cartesian product space and applying the Douglas--Rachford algorithm. In the setting where each resolvent may only be evaluated once per iteration, we show that any fixed point algorithm is necessarily defined on a d - fold Cartesian product space with dn − 1. Further, we show this is unimprovable by providing a new family of methods which attain the lower bound. Applications in decentralised operator splitting will be discussed.
