The Kaczmarz method and its variants, which are types of stochastic gradient descent (SGD) methods, have been extensively studied for their simplicity and efficiency in solving linear systems. Random reshuffling (RR), also known as SGD without replacement, is typically faster in practice than traditional SGD method. Although some convergence analysis results for RR apply to the reshuffling Kaczmarz method, they do not comprehensively characterize its convergence. In this paper, we present a new convergence analysis of the reshuffling Kaczmarz method and demonstrate that it can converge linearly to the unique least-norm solution of the linear system. Furthermore, the convergence upper bound is tight and does not depend on the dimension of the coefficient matrix.
