Optimization and Control 2017-01-17 v5

Abstract

An algorithm for computing the Karcher mean of nn positive definite matrices is proposed, based on the majorization-minimization (MM) principle. The proposed MM algorithm is parameter-free, does not need to choose step sizes, and has a theoretical guarantee of asymptotic linear convergence.
