Popis: We study robustness properties of some iterative gradient-based methods for strongly convex functions, as well as for the larger class of functions with sector-bounded gradients, under a relative error model. Proofs of the corresponding convergence rates are based on frequency-domain criteria for the stability of nonlinear systems. Applications are given to inexact versions of gradient descent and the Triple Momentum Method. To further emphasize the usefulness of frequency-domain methods, we derive improved analytic bounds for the convergence rate of Nesterov's accelerated method (in the exact setting) on strongly convex functions.
