On circumcenter mappings induced by nonexpansive operators

Optimization and Control 2018-11-29 v1

Abstract

We introduce the circumcenter mapping induced by a set of (usually nonexpansive) operators. One prominent example of a circumcenter mapping is the celebrated Douglas--Rachford splitting operator. Our study is motivated by the Circumcentered--Douglas--Rachford method recently introduced by Behling, Bello Cruz, and Santos in order to accelerate the Douglas--Rachford method for solving certain classes of feasibility problems. We systematically explore the properness of the circumcenter mapping induced by reflectors or projectors. Numerous examples are presented. We also present a version of Browder's demiclosedness principle for circumcenter mappings.
