We consider sequences $(B_k)_{k=0}^\infty$ of points obtained by projecting back and forth between two manifolds $\M_1$ and $\M_2$, and give conditions guaranteeing that the sequence converge to a limit $B_\infty\in\M_1\cap\M_2$. Our…

The problem of finding a point in the intersection of closed sets can be solved by the method of alternating projections and its variants. It was shown in earlier papers that for convex sets, the strategy of using quadratic programming (QP)…

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…

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…
