Abstract

The total-variation (TV) regularizer is often used to promote the structured sparsity of a given real function over the vertices of a non-directed graph. Indeed, the proximity operator associated with TV regularizer promotes sparsity of the function discrete gradient. Although quite affordable in the special case of one-dimensional (1D) graphs, the computation of the proximity operator for general large scale graphs can be demanding. In this paper, we propose a stochastic algorithm for solving this problem over large graphs with a moderate iteration complexity. The algorithm consists in properly selecting random paths in the graph and computing 1D-proximity operators over these paths. Convergence of the algorithm is related to recent results on stochastic proximal point algorithms.
