It is known that the TRS may have multiple optimal solutions in the hard case. In [Carmon and Duchi, SIAM Rev., 62 (2020), pp. 395–436], a block Lanczos method was proposed to solve the TRS in the <jats:italic>hard case</jats:italic>, and the convergence of the optimal objective value was established. However, the convergence of the KKT error as well as that of the approximate solution are still unknown for this method. In this paper, we give a more detailed convergence analysis on the block Lanczos method for the TRS in the <jats:italic>hard case</jats:italic>. First, we improve the convergence speed of the approximate objective value. Second, we derive the speed of the KKT error tends to zero. Third, we establish the convergence of the approximation solution, and show theoretically that the <jats:italic>projected</jats:italic> TRS obtained from the block Lanczos method will be close to the <jats:italic>hard case</jats:italic> more and more as the block Lanczos process proceeds. Numerical experiments illustrate the effectiveness of our theoretical results.","PeriodicalId":49731,"journal":{"name":"Numerical Linear Algebra with Applications","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2024-05-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140927058","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

McCaffrey","doi":"10.1002/nla.2559","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1002/nla.2559","url":null,"abstract":"SummaryWe present RCO (regularized Cholesky optimization): a numerical algorithm for finding a symmetric positive definite (PD) matrix with a bounded condition number that minimizes an objective function. This task arises when estimating a covariance matrix from noisy data or due to model constraints, which can cause spurious small negative eigenvalues. A special case is the problem of finding the nearest well‐conditioned PD matrix to a given matrix. RCO explicitly optimizes the entries of the Cholesky factor. This requires solving a regularized non‐linear, non‐convex optimization problem, for which we apply Newton‐CG and exploit the Hessian's sparsity. The regularization parameter is determined via numerical continuation with an accuracy‐conditioning trade‐off criterion. We apply RCO to our motivating educational measurement application of estimating the covariance matrix of an empirical best linear prediction (EBLP) of school growth scores. We present numerical results for two empirical datasets, state and urban. RCO outperforms general‐purpose near‐PD algorithms, obtaining ‐smaller matrix reconstruction bias and smaller EBLP estimator mean‐squared error. It is in fact the only algorithm that solves the right minimization problem, which strikes a balance between the objective function and the condition number. RCO can be similarly applied to the stable estimation of other posterior means. For the task of finding the nearest PD matrix, RCO yields similar condition numbers to near‐PD methods, but provides a better overall near‐null space.","PeriodicalId":49731,"journal":{"name":"Numerical Linear Algebra with Applications","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2024-05-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140882710","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In order to accelerate convergence of the gradient method, different preconditioning strategies are developed and analyzed.

By extending the argument for 1D case, we further obtain an ICD method for solving two-dimensional (2D) problems and derive the similar convergence result. For ICD and DCD methods of 2D problems, we also give their alternative direction implicit (ADI) schemes. Moreover, for the fast implementations of ICD method of 1D problems and indirect ADI method of 2D problems, we further present their acceleration strategies.

For discretized optimal control problems with PDE constraints, this structure is often present with the canonical partitioning of the variables in states and controls.

We analyze the effect of our modification on the degree and the Hankel error of the reduced system. Moreover, we propose a two‐stage framework to reduce the order of a large‐scale LTI system given samples of its transfer function for a target degree of the reduced system. It combines the adaptive Antoulas–Anderson (AAA) algorithm, modified to produce an intermediate LTI system in a numerically stable way, and the modified HNA algorithm. A carefully computed rational approximation of an adaptively chosen degree gives us an algorithm for reducing an LTI system, which achieves a balance between speed and accuracy.","PeriodicalId":49731,"journal":{"name":"Numerical Linear Algebra with Applications","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2024-03-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140205342","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
