We introduce regularity notions for averaged nonexpansive operators. Combined with regularity notions of their fixed point sets, we obtain linear and strong convergence results for quasicyclic, cyclic, and random iterations. New convergence…

Most non-convex optimization theory is built around gradient dynamics, leaving global convergence largely unexplored. The dominant paradigm focuses on stationarity, certifying only that the gradient norm vanishes, which is often a weak…
