New framework unifies probabilistic linear solvers via affine tracing

Researchers have introduced "affine tracing," a novel framework designed to automate the construction of probabilistic linear solvers (PLSs). This new paradigm unifies previously distinct approaches to PLSs, demonstrating that Bayesian PLSs are a specific instance of non-stationary affine PIMs. The affine tracing framework simplifies the implementation of these solvers by automatically generating a PIM from a standard affine iterative method, enabling more efficient computation of posterior covariances and algebraic simplifications. AI

IMPACT This research could streamline the development and application of probabilistic linear solvers, potentially impacting fields that rely on uncertainty quantification in linear system solutions, such as Gaussian process approximation.

    Affine Tracing: A New Paradigm for Probabilistic Linear Solvers

    arXiv:2605.10566v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Probabilistic linear solvers (PLSs) return probability distributions that quantify uncertainty due to limited computation in the solution of linear systems. The literature has traditionally distinguished between Bayesian P…
