Our aim is to present several properties of a Landweber operator and of a Landweber-type operator. These operators are widely used in methods for solving the split feasibility problem and the split common fixed point problem. The presented properties
can be used in proofs of convergence of related algorithms.
Projections onto sets are used in a wide variety of methods in optimization theory but not every method that uses projections really belongs to the class of projection methods as we mean it here. Here projection methods are iterative algorithms that
use projections onto sets while relying on the general principle that when a family of (usually closed and convex) sets is present then projections (or approximate projections) onto the given individual sets are easier to perform than projections onto other sets (intersections, image sets under some transformation, etc.) that are derived from the given family of individual sets. Projection methods employ projections (or approximate projections) onto convex sets in various ways. They may use different kinds of projections and, sometimes, even use different projections within the same algorithm. They serve to solve a variety of problems which are either of the feasibility or the optimization types. They have different algorithmic structures, of which some are particularly suitable for parallel computing, and they demonstrate nice convergence properties and/or good initial behavior patterns. This class of algorithms has witnessed great progress in recent years and its member algorithms have been applied with success to many scientific, technological, and mathematical problems. This annotated bibliography includes books and review papers on, or related to, projection methods that we know about, use, and like. If you know of books or review papers that should be added to this list please contact us.
This paper is concerned with the variational inequality problem (VIP) over the fixed point set of a quasi-nonexpansive operator. We propose, in particular, an algorithm which entails, at each step, projecting onto a suitably chosen half-space, and pr
ove that the sequences it generates converge to the unique solution of the VIP. We also present an application of our result to a hierarchical optimization problem.
We consider sequential iterative processes for the common fixed point problem of families of cutter operators on a Hilbert space. These are operators that have the property that, for any point xinH, the hyperplane through Tx whose normal is x-Tx alwa
ys cuts the space into two half-spaces one of which contains the point x while the other contains the (assumed nonempty) fixed point set of T. We define and study generalized relaxations and extrapolation of cutter operators and construct extrapolated cyclic cutter operators. In this framework we investigate the Dos Santos local acceleration method in a unified manner and adopt it to a composition of cutters. For these we conduct convergence analysis of successive iteration algorithms.
