A Cyclic Douglas-Rachford Iteration Scheme

Abstract: 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 point projections onto each of the N sets coincide. For affine subspaces, convergence is in norm. Initial results from numerical experiments, comparing our methods to the classical (product-space) Douglas-Rachford scheme, are promising.
