The method of alternating projections involves orthogonally projecting an element of a Hilbert space onto a collection of closed subspaces. It is known that the resulting sequence always converges in norm if the projections are taken…
Let $L_1,L_2,\dots,L_K$ be a family of closed subspaces of a Hilbert space $H$, $L_1\cap \dots \cap L_K =\{0\}$; let $P_k$ be the orthogonal projection onto $L_k$. We consider two types of consecutive projections of an element $x_0\in H$:…
A generalization of the cosine of the Friedrichs angle between two subspaces to a parameter associated to several closed subspaces of a Hilbert space is given. This parameter is used to analyze the rate of convergence in the von…
The method of alternating projections is a classical tool to solve feasibility problems. Here we prove local convergence of alternating projections between subanalytic sets $A,B$ under a mild regularity hypothesis on one of the sets. We…
We investigate connections between the geometry of linear subspaces and the convergence of the alternating projection method for linear projections. The aim of this article is twofold: in the first part, we show that even in Euclidean…
In 1933 von Neumann proved a beautiful result that one can approximate a point in the intersection of two convex sets by alternating projections, i.e., successively projecting on one set and then the other. This algorithm assumes that one…
The notion of regular pair $(A,B)$ for two nonempty closed convex subsets $A$ and~$B$ of a Hilbert space $\H$ was introduced by Borwein and Bauschke in 1993 to ensure convergence (in norm) of the alternating projection method to some point…
Given two arbitrary closed sets in Euclidean space, a simple transversality condition guarantees that the method of alternating projections converges locally, at linear rate, to a point in the intersection. Exact projection onto nonconvex…
In a Hilbert space, we study the strong convergence of alternating projections between two inconsistent affine subspaces with varying relaxation on one side. New convergence results are obtained by seeing the alternating projections as a…
The numerical properties of algorithms for finding the intersection of sets depend to some extent on the regularity of the sets, but even more importantly on the regularity of the intersection. The alternating projection algorithm of von…
We study the alternating algorithm for the computation of the metric projection onto the closed sum of two closed subspaces in uniformly convex and uniformly smooth Banach spaces. For Banach spaces which are convex and smooth of power type,…
We consider the method of alternating projections for finding a point in the intersection of two closed sets, possibly nonconvex. Assuming only the standard transversality condition (or a weaker version thereof), we prove local linear…
A popular method for finding the projection onto the intersection of two closed convex subsets in Hilbert space is Dykstra's algorithm. In this paper, we provide sufficient conditions for Dykstra's algorithm to converge rapidly, in finitely…
We investigate the properties of the simultaneous projection method as applied to countably infinitely many closed and linear subspaces of a real Hilbert space. We establish the optimal error bound for linear convergence of this method,…
In this paper we find the optimal error bound (smallest possible estimate, independent of the starting point) for the linear convergence rate of the simultaneous projection method applied to closed linear subspaces in a real Hilbert space.…
We study the well-known methods of alternating and simultaneous projections when applied to two nonorthogonal linear subspaces of a real Euclidean space. Assuming that both of the methods have a common starting point chosen from either one…
We investigate convergence of alternating Bregman projections between non-convex sets and prove convergence to a point in the intersection, or to points realizing a gap between the two sets. The speed of convergence is generally sub-linear,…
The 2-sets convex feasibility problem aims at finding a point in the nonempty intersection of two closed convex sets $A$ and $B$ in a Hilbert space $X$. The method of alternating projections is the simplest iterative procedure for finding a…
Alternating projection method has been used in a wide range of engineering applications since it is a gradient-free method (without requiring tuning the step size) and usually has fast speed of convergence. In this paper, we formalize two…
The idea of a finite collection of closed sets having "strongly regular intersection" at a given point is crucial in variational analysis. We show that this central theoretical tool also has striking algorithmic consequences. Specifically,…
