A Three-Operator Splitting Scheme Derived from Three-Block ADMM

In this paper, we derive a three-operator splitting scheme for solving monotone inclusion and convex optimization problems from the three-block ADMM method on the dual problem. The proposed scheme can be regarded as an extension of the Douglas-Rachford splitting to more operators. We also show an extension to multi-block models whose objective function is the sum of three or more functions. A numerical comparison with the Davis-Yin three-operator splitting method demonstrates that the new three-operator splitting scheme can still converge with a much larger step size.
