Krasnoselskii Mann Constant Step Sizes

Source file

wc_krasnoselskii_mann_constant_step_sizes(n, gamma; solver=Clarabel.Optimizer, verbose=true)

Problem statement

Compute a PEPit worst-case guarantee for wc_krasnoselskii_mann_constant_step_sizes.

Consider the fixed point problem

\[\mathrm{Find}\, x:\, x = Ax,\]

where $A$ is a non-expansive operator, that is a $L$-Lipschitz operator with $L=1$.

Performance metric

This code computes a worst-case guarantee for the Krasnolselskii-Mann (KM) method with constant step-size. That is, it computes the smallest possible $\tau(n)$ such that the guarantee

\[\frac{1}{4}\|x_n - Ax_n\|^2 \leqslant \tau(n) \|x_0 - x_\star\|^2\]

is valid, where $x_n$ is the output of the KM method, and $x_\star$ is some fixed point of $A$ (i.e., $x_\star=Ax_\star$).

Algorithm

The constant step-size KM method is described by

\[x_{t+1} = \left(1 - \gamma\right) x_{t} + \gamma Ax_{t}.\]

Theoretical guarantee

A theoretical upper bound is provided by [1, Theorem 4.9]

\[\tau(n) = \left\{ \begin{aligned} \frac{1}{n+1}\left(\frac{n}{n+1}\right)^n \frac{1}{4 \gamma (1 - \gamma)}\quad & \text{if } \frac{1}{2}\leqslant \gamma \leqslant \frac{1}{2}\left(1+\sqrt{\frac{n}{n+1}}\right) \\ (\gamma - 1)^{2n} \quad & \text{if } \frac{1}{2}\left(1+\sqrt{\frac{n}{n+1}}\right) < \gamma \leqslant 1. \end{aligned} \right.\]
