Convergence and acceleration of a nonlinear fixed-point iteration for computing the Fitness Centrality of general graphs
Abstract
We establish the global convergence of the (non-homogeneous) Fitness Centrality algorithm for general graphs, deriving an explicit convergence bound for the corresponding fixed-point iteration. Furthermore, we show how the convergence can be dramatically improved by Anderson acceleration and by switching to Newton's method once a sufficiently good approximation to the fixed point has been found. The efficacy of this strategy is illustrated by numerical experiments on different types of graphs.
