Convergence of Recursive Stochastic Algorithms using Wass...

This paper develops a unified framework, based on iterated random operator theory, to analyze the convergence of constant stepsize recursive stochastic algorithms (RSAs). RSAs use randomization to efficiently compute expectations, and so their iterates form a stochastic process. The key idea of our analysis is to lift the RSA into an appropriate higher-dimensional space and then express it as an equivalent Markov chain. Instead of determining the convergence of this Markov chain (which may not converge under constant stepsize), we study the convergence of the distribution of this Markov chain. To study this, we define a new notion of Wasserstein divergence. We show that if the distribution of the iterates in the Markov chain satisfy a contraction property with respect to the Wasserstein divergence, then the Markov chain admits an invariant distribution. We show that convergence of a large family of constant stepsize RSAs can be understood using this framework, and we provide several detailed examples.
