“…The solution X of ( 2) is a least squares solution of the inconsistent system A * X = B with some desirable characteristics promoted by regularization terms of the objective function f . In recent years, randomized iterative algorithms for linear systems of equations with massive data sets have been greatly developed due to low memory footprints and good numerical performance, such as the randomized Kaczmarz (RK) algorithm [29], the randomized coordinate descent (RCD) algorithm [16], the randomized extended Kaczmarz (REK) algorithm [35], and their extensions, e.g., [24,10,20,25,1,2,3,8,22,9,4,31,32,11,33]. The RK algorithm converges linearly in expectation to a solution of consistent linear systems [29,35] and to within a radius (convergence horizon) of a (least squares) solution of inconsistent linear systems [23].…”
