On the convergence of asynchronous paracontractions with application to tomographic reconstruction from incomplete data (Q753410)

The authors consider the convergence of asynchronous implementations of the method of \textit{S. Kaczmarz} [Bull. Int. Acad. Polon. Sci. A 1937, 355-357 (1937; Zbl 0017.31703)] (i.e. iterated orthogonal projections onto hyperplanes) for the solution of linear equations. Under mild conditions on the (a)synchronicity and relaxation parameters they show that these processes converge to the usual limit of the Kaczmarz process. The authors actually prove slightly more: rather than orthogonal projections they consider paracontractions in general smooth convex norms.
