  ABSTRACT: In this paper, we consider a more general bi-level optimization problem, where the inner objective function is consisted of three convex functions, involving a smooth and two non-smooth functions. The outer objective function is a classical strongly convex function which may not be smooth. Motivated by the smoothing approaches, we modify the classical bi-level gradient sequential averaging method to solve the bi-level optimization problem. Under some mild conditions, we obtain the convergence rate of the generated sequence, and then based on the analysis framework of S-FISTA, we show the global convergence rate of the proposed algorithm.
