Polynomial convergence of iterations of certain random operators in Hilbert space
We study the convergence of random iterative sequence of a family of operators on infinite dimensional Hilbert spaces, which are inspired by the Stochastic Gradient Descent (SGD) algorithm in the case of the noiseless regression, as studied in [1]. We demonstrate that its polynomial convergence rate depends on the initial state, while the randomness plays a role only in the choice of the best constant factor and we close the gap between the upper and lower bounds.
