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…
In this paper we present two Douglas-Rachford inspired iteration schemes which can be applied directly to N-set convex feasibility problems in Hilbert space. Our main results are weak convergence of the methods to a point whose nearest…
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 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…
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.…
We discuss recent positive experiences applying convex feasibility algorithms of Douglas--Rachford type to highly combinatorial and far from convex problems.
In recent times the Douglas-Rachford algorithm has been observed empirically to solve a variety of nonconvex feasibility problems including those of a combinatorial nature. For many of these problems current theory is not sufficient to…
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 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…
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…
The primal-dual Douglas-Rachford method is a well-known algorithm to solve optimization problems written as convex-concave saddle-point problems. Each iteration involves solving a linear system involving a linear operator and its adjoint.…
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…
We consider the problem of non-smooth convex optimization with linear equality constraints, where the objective function is only accessible through its proximal operator. This problem arises in many different fields such as statistical…
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…
Proximal splitting algorithms for monotone inclusions (and convex optimization problems) in Hilbert spaces share the common feature to guarantee for the generated sequences in general weak convergence to a solution. In order to achieve…
We study acceleration and preconditioning strategies for a class of Douglas-Rachford methods aiming at the solution of convex-concave saddle-point problems associated with Fenchel-Rockafellar duality. While the basic iteration converges…
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…
Proximal operators are now ubiquitous in non-smooth optimization. Since their introduction in the seminal work of Moreau, many papers have shown their effectiveness on a wide variety of problems, culminating in their use to construct…
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 study the geometry of convex optimization problems given in a Domain-Driven form and categorize possible statuses of these problems using duality theory. Our duality theory for the Domain-Driven form, which accepts both conic and…
