Rates of Convergence for Chains of Expansive Markov Operators

Probability 2023-11-01 v3 Optimization and Control

Abstract

We provide conditions that guarantee local rates of convergence in distribution of iterated random functions that are not nonexpansive mappings in locally compact Hadamard spaces. Our results are applied to stochastic instances of common algorithms in optimization, stochastic tomography for X-FEL imaging, and a stochastic algorithm for the computation of Fr\'echet means in model spaces for phylogenetic trees.
