Error bounds and convergence analysis of feasible descent methods: a general approach

  • Part I: Surveys
  • Published:
Annals of Operations Research Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

We survey and extend a general approach to analyzing the convergence and the rate of convergence of feasible descent methods that does not require any nondegeneracy assumption on the problem. This approach is based on a certain error bound for estimating the distance to the solution set and is applicable to a broad class of methods.
