Gradient Consistency Penalty for Block Coordinate Descent under Non-Convexity: Convergence Analysis and Regularization Effects

This paper establishes the global convergence and explicit convergence rates of a block coordinate descent method augmented with a gradient consistency penalty for non-convex composite optimization, demonstrating that the penalty acts as an implicit regularizer to prevent high-curvature regions while validating these theoretical findings through numerical experiments.
