DIPPA: An improved Method for Bilinear Saddle Point Problems
This paper studies bilinear saddle point problems $\min_{\bf{x}} \max_{\bf{y}} g(\bf{x}) + \bf{x}^{\top} \bf{A} \bf{y} - h(\bf{y})$, where the functions $g, h$ are smooth and strongly-convex. When the gradient and proximal oracle related to $g$ and $h$ are accessible, optimal algorithms have already been developed in the literature \cite{chambolle2011first, palaniappan2016stochastic}. However, the proximal operator is not always easy to compute, especially in constraint zero-sum matrix games \cite{zhang2020sparsified}. This work proposes a new algorithm which only requires the access to the gradients of $g, h$. Our algorithm achieves a complexity upper bound $\tilde{\mathcal{O}}\left( \frac{\|\bf{A}\|_2}{\sqrt{\mu_x \mu_y}} + \sqrt[4]{\kappa_x \kappa_y (\kappa_x + \kappa_y)} \right)$ which has optimal dependency on the coupling condition number $\frac{\|\bf{A}\|_2}{\sqrt{\mu_x \mu_y}}$ up to logarithmic factors.

A Unified Analysis of Extra-gradient and Optimistic Gradient Methods for Saddle Point Problems: Proximal Point Approach
In this paper we consider solving saddle point problems using two variants of Gradient Descent-Ascent algorithms, Extra-gradient (EG) and Optimistic Gradient Descent Ascent (OGDA) methods. We show that both of these algo…
Contractivity and linear convergence in bilinear saddle-point problems: An operator-theoretic approach
We study the convex-concave bilinear saddle-point problem $\min_x \max_y f(x) + y^\top Ax - g(y)$, where both, only one, or none of the functions $f$ and $g$ are strongly convex, and suitable rank conditions on the matri…
On Linear Convergence in Smooth Convex-Concave Bilinearly-Coupled Saddle-Point Optimization: Lower Bounds and Optimal Algorithms
We revisit the smooth convex-concave bilinearly-coupled saddle-point problem of the form $\min_x\max_y f(x) + \langle y,\mathbf{B} x\rangle - g(y)$. In the highly specific case where each of the functions $f(x)$ and $g(y…
Auto-conditioned primal-dual hybrid gradient method and alternating direction method of multipliers
Line search procedures are often employed in primal-dual methods for bilinear saddle point problems, especially when the norm of the linear operator is large or difficult to compute. In this paper, we demonstrate that li…
