contents In this paper, we focus on the relaxed proximal point algorithm (RPPA) for solving convex (possibly nonsmooth) optimization problems. We conduct a comprehensive study on three types of relaxation schedules: (i) constant schedule with relaxation parameter $α_k\equiv α\in (0, \sqrt{2}]$, (ii) the dynamic schedule put forward by Teboulle and Vaisbourd [TV23], and (iii) the silver stepsize schedule proposed by Altschuler and Parrilo [AP23b]. The latter two schedules were initially investigated for the gradient descent (GD) method and are extended to the RPPA in this paper. For type (i), we establish tight non-ergodic $O(1/N)$ convergence rate results measured by function value residual and subgradient norm, where $N$ denotes the iteration counter. For type (ii), we establish a convergence rate that is tight and approximately $\sqrt{2}$ times better than the constant schedule of type (i). For type (iii), aside from the original silver stepsize schedule put forward by Altschuler and Parrilo, we propose two new modified silver stepsize schedules, and for all the three silver stepsize schedules, $O(1/N^{1.2716})$ accelerated convergence rate results with respect to three different performance metrics are established. Furthermore, our research affirms the conjecture in [LG24][Conjecture 3.2] on GD method with the original silver stepsize schedule.
