Minimizing convex quadratics with variable precision Krylov methods

Iterative algorithms for the solution of convex quadratic optimization problems are investigated, which exploit inaccurate matrix-vector products. Theoretical bounds on the performance of a Conjugate Gradients and a Full-Orthormalization methods are derived, the necessary quantities occurring in the theoretical bounds estimated and new practical algorithms derived. Numerical experiments suggest that the new methods have significant … Read more
