contents Although the performance of popular optimization algorithms such as Douglas-Rachford splitting (DRS) and the ADMM is satisfactory in small and well-scaled problems, ill conditioning and problem size pose a severe obstacle to their reliable employment. Expanding on recent convergence results for DRS and ADMM applied to nonconvex problems, we propose two linesearch algorithms to enhance and robustify these methods by means of quasi-Newton directions. The proposed algorithms are suited for nonconvex problems, require the same black-box oracle of DRS and ADMM, and maintain their (subsequential) convergence properties. Numerical evidence shows that the employment of L-BFGS in the proposed framework greatly improves convergence of DRS and ADMM, making them robust to ill conditioning. Under regularity and nondegeneracy assumptions at the limit point, superlinear convergence is shown when quasi-Newton Broyden directions are adopted.
