Abstract

We develop conditions under which a product Q1=0 Ti of matrices chosen from a possibly innite set of matricesS =fTjjj2 Jg converges. We obtain the following conditions which are sucient for the convergence of the product: There exists a vector norm such that all matrices in S are nonexpansive with respect to this norm and there exists a subsequencefikg 1=0 of the sequence of the nonnegative integers such that the corresponding sequence of operators Tik 1=0 converges to an operator which is paracontracting with respect to this norm. We deduce the continuity of the limit of the product of matrices as a function of the sequencesfikg1=0 . But more importantly, we apply our results to the question of the convergence of inner{outer iteration schemes for solving singular consistent linear systems of equations, where the outer splitting is regular and the inner splitting is weak regular.
