Low complexity convergence rate bounds for the synchronous gossip subclass of push-sum algorithms
share
We develop easily accessible quantities for bounding the almost sure exponential convergence rate of push-sum algorithms. We analyze the scenario of i.i.d. synchronous gossip, every agent communicating towards its single target at every step. Multiple bounding expressions are developed depending on the generality of the setup, all functions of the spectrum of the network. While the most general bound awaits further improvement, with more symmetries, close bounds can be established, as demonstrated by numerical simulations.
