In this paper, we propose a convergent parallel best-response algorithm with the exact line search for the nondifferentiable nonconvex sparsity-regularized rank minimization problem. On the one hand, it exhibits a faster convergence than subgradient algorithms and block coordinate descent algorithms. On the other hand, its convergence to a stationary point is guaranteed, while ADMM algorithms only converge for convex problems. Furthermore, the exact line search procedure in the proposed algorithm is performed efficiently in closed-form to avoid the meticulous choice of stepsizes, which is however a common bottleneck in subgradient algorithms and successive convex approximation algorithms. Finally, the proposed algorithm is numerically tested.
