X Abstract

Let f : R s → R be a real-valued function, and let x = (x 1 ,...,x s ) T ∈ R s be partitioned into t subsets of non-overlapping variables as x = (X 1 ,...,X t ) T , with X i ∈ R p i for i = 1,...,t, Σ i=1 t p i = s. Alternating optimization (AO) is an iterative procedure for minimizing f(x) = f(X 1 , X 2 ,..., X t ) jointly over all variables by alternating restricted minimizations over the individual subsets of variables X 1 ,...., X t . Alternating optimization has been (more or less) studied and used in a wide variety of areas. Here a self-contained and general convergence theory is presented that is applicable to all partitionings of x. Under reasonable assumptions, the general AO approach is shown to be locally, q-linearly convergent, and to also exhibit a type of global convergence.

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
