In this paper, we propose and analyze an efficient Halpern-Peaceman-Rachford (HPR) algorithm for solving the Wasserstein barycenter problem (WBP) with fixed supports. While the Peaceman-Rachford (PR) splitting method itself may not be convergent for solving the WBP, the HPR algorithm can achieve an $O(1/\varepsilon)$ non-ergodic iteration complexity with respect to the Karush-Kuhn-Tucker (KKT) residual. More interestingly, we propose an efficient procedure with linear time computational complexity to solve the linear systems involved in the subproblems of the HPR algorithm. As a consequence, the HPR algorithm enjoys an $O({\rm Dim(P)}/\varepsilon)$ non-ergodic computational complexity in terms of flops for obtaining an $\varepsilon$-optimal solution measured by the KKT residual for the WBP, where ${\rm Dim(P)}$ is the dimension of the variable of the WBP. This is better than the best-known complexity bound for the WBP. Moreover, the extensive numerical results on both the synthetic and real data sets demonstrate the superior performance of the HPR algorithm for solving the large-scale WBP. |
