报告摘要：The singly linearly and box constrained least squares regression has diverse applications in various fields. This paper proposes an efficient and robust semismooth Newton based augmented Lagrangian (Ssnal) algorithm for solving this problem, in which a semismooth Newton (Ssn) algorithm with superlinear or even quadratic convergence is applied to solve the subproblems. Theoretically, the global and asymptotically superlinear local convergence of the Ssnal algorithm hold automatically under standard conditions. Computationally, a generalized Jacobian for the projector onto the feasible set is shown to be either diagonal or diagonal-minus-rank-1, which is a key ingredient for the efficiency of the Ssnal algorithm. Numerical experiments conducted on both synthetic and real data sets demonstrate that the Ssnal algorithm compared to several state-of-the-art first-order algorithms is much more efficient and robust.
