contents We propose an unconstrained optimization method based on the well-known primal-dual hybrid gradient (PDHG) algorithm. We first formulate the optimality condition of the unconstrained optimization problem as a saddle point problem. We then compute the minimizer by applying generalized primal-dual hybrid gradient algorithms. Theoretically, we demonstrate the continuous-time limit of the proposed algorithm forms a class of second-order differential equations, which contains and extends the heavy ball ODEs and Hessian-driven damping dynamics. Following the Lyapunov analysis of the ODE system, we prove the linear convergence of the algorithm for strongly convex functions. Experimentally, we showcase the advantage of algorithms on several convex and non-convex optimization problems by comparing the performance with other well-known algorithms, such as Nesterov's accelerated gradient methods. In particular, we demonstrate that our algorithm is efficient in training two-layer and convolution neural networks in supervised learning problems.
