Linear Convergence of the Frank-Wolfe Algorithm over Product Polytopes

We study the linear convergence of Frank-Wolfe algorithms over product polytopes. We analyze two condition numbers for the product polytope, namely the \emph{pyramidal width} and the \emph{vertex-facet distance}, based on the condition numbers of individual polytope components. As a result, for convex objectives that are $\mu$-Polyak-Łojasiewicz, we show linear convergence rates quantified in terms of the resulting condition numbers. We apply our results to the problem of approximately finding a feasible point in a polytope intersection in high-dimensions, and demonstrate the practical efficiency of our algorithms through empirical results.
