We consider linear systems $Ax = b$ where $A in mathbb{R}^{m times n}$ consists of normalized rows, $|a_i|_{ell^2} = 1$, and where up to $beta m$ entries of $b$ have been corrupted (possibly by arbitrarily large numbers). Haddock, Needell, Rebrova and Swartworth propose a quantile-based Random Kaczmarz method and show that for certain random matrices $A$ it converges with high likelihood to the true solution. We prove a deterministic version by constructing, for any matrix $A$, a number $beta_A$ such that there is convergence for all perturbations with $beta < beta_A$. Assuming a random matrix heuristic, this proves convergence for tall Gaussian matrices with up to $sim 0.5%$ corruption (a number that can likely be improved).
Often in applications ranging from medical imaging and sensor networks to error correction and data science (and beyond), one needs to solve large-scale linear systems in which a fraction of the measurements have been corrupted. We consider solving such large-scale systems of linear equations $mathbf{A}mathbf{x}=mathbf{b}$ that are inconsistent due to corruptions in the measurement vector $mathbf{b}$. We develop several variants of iterative methods that converge to the solution of the uncorrupted system of equations, even in the presence of large corruptions. These methods make use of a quantile of the absolute values of the residual vector in determining the iterate update. We present both theoretical and empirical results that demonstrate the promise of these iterative approaches.
The famous greedy randomized Kaczmarz (GRK) method uses the greedy selection rule on maximum distance to determine a subset of the indices of working rows. In this paper, with the greedy selection rule on maximum residual, we propose the greedy randomized Motzkin-Kaczmarz (GRMK) method for linear systems. The block version of the new method is also presented. We analyze the convergence of the two methods and provide the corresponding convergence factors. Extensive numerical experiments show that the GRMK method has almost the same performance as the GRK method for dense matrices and the former performs better in computing time for some sparse matrices, and the blo
We propose a deterministic Kaczmarz method for solving linear systems $Ax=b$ with $A$ nonsingular. Instead of using orthogonal projections, we use reflections in the original Kaczmarz iterative method. This generates a series of points on an $n$-sphere $S$ centered at the solution $x_*=A^{-1}b$. We show that these points are nicely distributed on $S$. Taking the average of several points will lead to an effective approximation to the solution. We will show how to choose these points efficiently. The numerical tests show that in practice this deterministic scheme converges much faster than we expected and can beat the (block) randomized Kaczmarz methods.
The sampling Kaczmarz-Motzkin (SKM) method is a generalization of the randomized Kaczmarz and Motzkin methods. It first samples some rows of coefficient matrix randomly to build a set and then makes use of the maximum violation criterion within this set to determine a constraint. Finally, it makes progress by enforcing this single constraint. In this paper, on the basis of the framework of the SKM method and considering the greedy strategies, we present two block sampling Kaczmarz-Motzkin methods for consistent linear systems. Specifically, we also first sample a subset of rows of coefficient matrix and then determine an index in this set using the maximum violation criterion. Unlike the SKM method, in the rest of the block methods, we devise different greedy strategies to build index sets. Then, the new methods make progress by enforcing the corresponding multiple constraints simultaneously. Theoretical analyses demonstrate that these block methods converge at least as quickly as the SKM method, and numerical experiments show that, for the same accuracy, our methods outperform the SKM method in terms of the number of iterations and computing time.
With a quite different way to determine the working rows, we propose a novel greedy Kaczmarz method for solving consistent linear systems. Convergence analysis of the new method is provided. Numerical experiments show that, for the same accuracy, our method outperforms the greedy randomized Kaczmarz method and the relaxed greedy randomized Kaczmarz method introduced recently by Bai and Wu [Z.Z.
