Abstract

In this chapter we analyze the convergence of the mirror descent algorithm under the presence of computational errors. We show that the algorithms generate a good approximate solution, if computational errors are bounded from above by a small positive constant. Moreover, for a known computational error, we find out what an approximate solution can be obtained and how many iterates one needs for this.
