Abstract

In this work, we study iterative algorithms for solving the monotone inclusion problem involving the sum of m maximally monotone operators over a Hilbert space. We take a novel approach by deriving algorithms directly from Lyapunov analysis, reversing the conventional workflow of algorithm research. Our methodology is based on iteratively simplifying a Fejér monotonic quadratic inequality, which we reformulate using an LDL^T factorization. This transforms the problem of algorithm design into an inertia eigenvalue problem, allowing us to characterize and construct provably convergent schemes. Our framework provides insights into existing resolvent-splitting methods and the underlying structure of their convergence.
