Abstract

In this chapter we analyze the convergence of a projected gradient algorithm with a smooth objective function under the presence of computational errors. We show that the algorithm generates 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.
