Abstract

In his recent research M. K. Tam (2018) considered a framework for the analysis of iterative algorithms which can be described in terms of a structured set-valued operator. At each point in the ambient space, the value of the operator can be expressed as a finite union of values of single-valued paracontracting operators. He showed that the associated fixed point iteration is locally convergent around strong fixed points. This result generalizes a theorem due to Bauschke and Noll (2014). In the present paper we generalize the result of Tam and show the global convergence of his algorithm for an arbitrary starting point. An analogous result is also proved for the Krasnosel'ski-Mann iterations.
