Abstract
In this paper, the authors introduce an inexact augmented Lagrangian method for solving general convex composite optimization problems. To make this method effective, they propose a semismooth Newton algorithm for solving the subproblems in the augmented Lagrangian method. Global convergence results are stated, and numerical results show the efficiency and the robustness of their algorithm, where second-order information plays an important role. Comparisons are also made with other methods.
