Processing streaming data as they arrive is often necessary for high dimensional data analysis. In this paper, we analyze the convergence of a subspace online PCA iteration, as a followup of the recent work of Li, Wang, Liu, and Zhang [Math. Program., Ser. B, DOI 10.1007/s10107-017-1182-z] who considered the case for the most significant principal component only, i.e., a single vector. Under the sub-Gaussian assumption, we obtain a finite-sample error bound that closely matches the minimax information lower bound of Vu and Lei [Ann. Statist. 41:6 (2013), 2905-2947].

In this paper, we consider a type of cone-constrained convex program in finite-dimensional space, and are interested in characterization of the solution set of this convex program with the help of the Lagrange multiplier. We establish necessary conditions for a feasible point being an optimal solution. Moreover, some necessary conditions and sufficient conditions are established which simplifies the corresponding results in Jeyakumar et al. (J Optim Theory Appl 123(1), 83103, 2004). In particular, when the cone reduces to three specific cones, that is, the p -order cone, p cone and circular cone, we show that the obtained results can be achieved by easier ways by exploiting the special structure of those three cones.
