New analysis details Sinkhorn-Knopp algorithm's local convergence

Researchers have published a new analysis of the Sinkhorn-Knopp (SK) algorithm, focusing on its local convergence properties. The paper provides the first nonasymptotic local analysis of SK, matching existing asymptotic rates and demonstrating its polynomial-time solvability for doubly stochastic matrix scaling under specific connectivity conditions. The work also introduces accelerated variants and improves the complexity for dense matrices from $O( frac{n^{7/3}}{\varepsilon^{2/3}})$ to $O( frac{n^{9/4}}{\sqrt{\varepsilon}})$. AI

    Tight Nonasymptotic Local Convergence of Sinkhorn-Knopp

    arXiv:2608.11760v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We revisit the Sinkhorn-Knopp (SK) algorithm for the matrix scaling problem. Despite extensive literature on the global convergence of SK and its variants, its local linear convergence behavior remains less understood. We address …
