We introduce several variations of classical optimization methods using adaptive searches of step sizes, and show that these can significantly improve the efficiency of traditional approaches on large-scale nonconvex or nonsmooth inverse problems such as those in imaging applications. For instance, when the Barzilai-Borwein step size selection method and a properly designed line search strategy are adopted, we can solve a large class of nonsmooth optimization problems with low per-iteration cost and obtain extensively accelerated convergence. The promising performance is further demonstrated using large real-world imaging data sets.
