The proposed method applies the alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM) algorithm and is based on the decomposition of the objective function into two components. While ADMM has been widely used in this problem, existing works such as network lasso decompose the objective function into the loss function component and the total variation penalty component. In comparison, this work proposes to decompose the objective function into two components, where one component is the loss function plus part of the total variation penalty, and the other component is the remaining total variation penalty. Compared with the network lasso algorithm, this method has a smaller computational cost per iteration and converges faster in most simulations numerically.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/1908.02370v1","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/1908.02370v1.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"links_only","authors_date_abstract":"arXiv metadata, CC0 1.0 (https://info.arxiv.org/help/license), from the Kaggle arXiv metadata snapshot of 2026-09-12"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"an-algorithm-for-graph-fused-lasso-based-on","repo_url":"https://github.com/fengyu93/novelGFL","is_official":0,"mentioned_in_paper":0,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
