Abstract

The convex feasibility problem asks to find a point in the intersection of finitely many closed convex sets in Euclidean space. This problem is of fundamental importance in the mathematical and physical sciences, and it can be solved algorithmically by the classical method of cyclic projections. In this paper, the case where one of the constraints is an obtuse cone is considered. Because the nonnegative orthant as well as the set of positive-semidefinite symmetric matrices form obtuse cones, we cover a large and substantial class of feasibility problems. Motivated by numerical experiments, the method of reflection-projection is proposed: it modifies the method of cyclic projections in that it replaces the projection onto the obtuse cone by the corresponding reflection. This new method is not covered by the standard frameworks of projection algorithms because of the reflection. The main result states that the method does converge to a solution whenever the underlying convex feasibility problem is consistent. As prototypical applications, we discuss in detail the implementation of two-set feasibility problems aiming to find a nonnegative [resp. positive semidefinite] solution to linear constraints in ℝn [resp. in $$\mathbb{S}^n $$ , the space of symmetric n×n matrices] and we report on numerical experiments. The behavior of the method for two inconsistent constraints is analyzed as well.
