Abstract

Three computational forms of r-algorithms with different amount of computation per iteration are considered. The results on the convergence of the limit variant of r-algorithms for convex smooth functions and the r μ (α)-algorithm for convex piecewise smooth functions are presented. Practical aspects of the variant of r (α)-algorithms with a constant coefficient of space dilation α and an adaptive method for step adjustment in the direction of the normalized anti-subgradient in the transformed space of variables are discussed.
