| contents | The primal-dual Douglas-Rachford method is a well-known algorithm to solve optimization problems written as convex-concave saddle-point problems. Each iteration involves solving a linear system involving a linear operator and its adjoint. However, in practical applications it is often computationally favorable to replace the adjoint operator by a computationally more efficient approximation. This leads to an adjoint mismatch. In this paper, we analyze the convergence of the primal-dual Douglas-Rachford method under the presence of an adjoint mismatch. We provide mild conditions that guarantee the existence of a fixed point and find an upper bound on the error of the primal solution. Furthermore, we establish step sizes in the strongly convex setting that guarantee linear convergence under mild conditions. Additionally, we provide an alternative method that can also be derived from the Douglas-Rachford method and is also guaranteed to converge in this setting. Moreover, we illustrate our results both for an academic and a real-world inspired example. |
