Description
Recently, ℓ1,p-regularization has been widely used to induce structured sparsity in the solutions to various optimization problems. Motivated by the desire to analyze the convergence rate of first-order methods, we show that for a large class of ℓ1,p-regularized problems, an error bound condition is satisfied when p∈[1,2] or p=∞ but fails to hold for any p∈(2,∞). Based on this result, we show that many first-order methods enjoy an asymptotic linear rate of convergence when applied to ℓ1,p-regularized linear or logistic regression with p∈[1,2] or p=∞. By contrast, numerical experiments suggest that for the same class of problems with p∈(2,∞), the aforementioned methods may not converge linearly.
