## Abstract

We introduce a stochastic coordinate extension of the first-order primal-dual method studied by Cohen and Zhu (1984) and Zhao and Zhu (2018) to solve Composite Optimization with Composite Cone-constraints (COCC). In this method, we randomly choose a block of variables based on the uniform distribution. The linearization and Bregman-like function (core function) to that randomly selected block allow us to get simple parallel primal-dual decomposition for COCC. We obtain almost surely convergence and O(1/t) expected convergence rate in this work. The high probability complexity bound is also derived in this paper.
