Abstract:We propose an inexact coordinate descent method to solve a consistent equation of the type Ax = b where A is a real symmetric and positive semidefinite matrix. The admissible range of inexactitude allows to reduce every multiplication present in the computation to a scaling by a signed power of 2 for the sake of hardware simplification. Although the resulting descent is nonideal, the numerical experiments show that its rate of convergence remains close to that of exact coordinate descent, whether the coordinat… Show more
