The Douglas-Rachford projection algorithm is an iterative method used to find a point in the intersection of closed constraint sets. The algorithm has been experimentally observed to solve various nonconvex feasibility problems which…
The Douglas--Rachford algorithm is a popular algorithm for solving both convex and nonconvex feasibility problems. While its behaviour is settled in the convex inconsistent case, the general nonconvex inconsistent case is far from being…
In this paper, we study the generalized Douglas-Rachford algorithm and its cyclic variants which include many projection-type methods such as the classical Douglas-Rachford algorithm and the alternating projection algorithm. Specifically,…
We discuss recent positive experiences applying convex feasibility algorithms of Douglas--Rachford type to highly combinatorial and far from convex problems.
We analyse the behaviour of the newly introduced cyclic Douglas-Rachford algorithm for finding a point in the intersection of a finite number of closed convex sets. This work considers the case in which the target intersection set is…
Solving feasibility problems is a central task in mathematics and the applied sciences. One particularly successful method is the Douglas-Rachford algorithm. In this paper, we provide many new conditions sufficient for finite convergence.…
The Douglas-Rachford algorithm is a simple yet effective method for solving convex feasibility problems. However, if the underlying constraints are inconsistent, then the convergence theory is incomplete. We provide convergence results when…
We discuss the Douglas-Rachford algorithm to solve the feasibility problem for two closed sets $A,B$ in $\mathbb{R}^d$. We prove its local convergence to a fixed point when $A,B$ are finite unions of convex sets. We also show that for more…
This paper proposes an algorithm for solving structured optimization problems, which covers both the backward-backward and the Douglas-Rachford algorithms as special cases, and analyzes its convergence. The set of fixed points of the…
The Douglas-Rachford method, a projection algorithm designed to solve continuous optimization problems, forms the basis of a useful heuristic for solving combinatorial optimization problems. In order to successfully use the method, it is…
Feasibility problem aims to find a common point of two or more closed (convex) sets whose intersection is nonempty. In the literature, projection based algorithms are widely adopted to solve the problem, such as the method of alternating…
The Douglas-Rachford algorithm is a classical and very successful method for solving optimization and feasibility problems. In this paper, we provide novel conditions sufficient for finite convergence in the context of convex feasibility…
We establish a region of convergence for the proto-typical non-convex Douglas-Rachford iteration which finds a point on the intersection of a line and a circle. Previous work on the non-convex iteration [2] was only able to establish local…
The Douglas-Rachford algorithm is a very popular splitting technique for finding a zero of the sum of two maximally monotone operators. However, the behaviour of the algorithm remains mysterious in the general inconsistent case, i.e., when…
Many iterative methods for solving optimization or feasibility problems have been invented, and often convergence of the iterates to some solution is proven. Under favourable conditions, one might have additional bounds on the distance of…
The Douglas-Rachford splitting algorithm is a classical optimization method that has found many applications. When specialized to two normal cone operators, it yields an algorithm for finding a point in the intersection of two convex sets.…
In this expository paper, we show how to use the Douglas-Rachford algorithm as a successful heuristic for finding magic squares. The Douglas-Rachford algorithm is an iterative projection method for solving feasibility problems. Although its…
The main challenge of nonconvex optimization is to find a global optimum, or at least to avoid ``bad'' local minima and meaningless stationary points. We study here the extent to which algorithms, as opposed to optimization models and…
In this paper, we investigate the Douglas-Rachford method for two closed (possibly nonconvex) sets in Euclidean spaces. We show that under certain regularity conditions, the Douglas-Rachford method converges locally with R-linear rate. In…
We adapt the Douglas-Rachford (DR) splitting method to solve nonconvex feasibility problems by studying this method for a class of nonconvex optimization problem. While the convergence properties of the method for convex problems have been…
