| Popis: | Anderson acceleration (AA) is widely used for accelerating the convergence of an underlying fixed-point iteration $\bm{x}_{k+1} = \bm{q}( \bm{x}_{k} )$, $k = 0, 1, \ldots$, with $\bm{x}_k \in \mathbb{R}^n$, $\bm{q} \colon \mathbb{R}^n \to \mathbb{R}^n$. Despite AA's widespread use, relatively little is understood theoretically about the extent to which it may accelerate the underlying fixed-point iteration. To this end, we analyze a restarted variant of AA with a restart size of one, a method closely related to GMRES(1). We consider the case of $\bm{q}( \bm{x} ) = M \bm{x} + \bm{b}$ with matrix $M \in \mathbb{R}^{n \times n}$ either symmetric or skew-symmetric. For both classes of $M$ we compute the worst-case root-average asymptotic convergence factor of the AA method, partially relying on conjecture in the symmetric setting, proving that it is strictly smaller than that of the underlying fixed-point iteration. For symmetric $M$, we show that the AA residual iteration corresponds to a fixed-point iteration for solving an eigenvector-dependent nonlinear eigenvalue problem (NEPv), and we show how this can result in the convergence factor strongly depending on the initial iterate, which we quantify exactly in certain special cases. Conversely, for skew-symmetric $M$ we show that the AA residual iteration is closely related to a power iteration for $M$, and how this results in the convergence factor being independent of the initial iterate. Supporting numerical results are given, which also indicate the theory is applicable to the more general setting of nonlinear $\bm{q}$ with Jacobian at the fixed point that is symmetric or skew symmetric.
