The objective function is the sum of a multi-block relatively smooth function (i.e., relatively smooth by fixing all the blocks except one) and block separable (nonsmooth) nonconvex functions. It turns out that the sequences generated by our algorithms are subsequentially convergent to critical points of the objective function, while they are globally convergent under KL inequality assumption. Further, the rate of convergence is further analyzed for functions satisfying the {\\L}ojasiewicz's gradient inequality. We apply this framework to orthogonal nonnegative matrix factorization (ONMF) that satisfies all of our assumptions and the related subproblems are solved in closed forms, where some preliminary numerical results is reported.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/1908.01402v2","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/1908.01402v2.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":"multi-block-bregman-proximal-alternating","repo_url":"https://github.com/MasoudAhoo/BPALM","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"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}
