Error Bounds for the Method of Alternating Projections

Given a collection of closed subspaces of a Hilbert space, the method of alternating projections produces a sequence which converges to the orthogonal projections onto the intersection of the subspaces. A large class of problems in medical and geophysical image reconstruction can be solved using this method. A sharp error bound will enable the user to accurately estimate the number of iterations necessary to achieve a desired relative error. The sharpest possible upper bound is obtained for the case of two subspaces, and the sharpest known upper bound for more than two subspaces. Keywords: Alternating projections; Error bounds; Image reconstruction.
Alternating Projection Methods

This book describes and analyzes all available alternating projection methods for solving the general problem of finding a point in the intersection of several given sets belonging to a Hilbert space. For each method the authors describe and analyze convergence, speed of convergence, acceleration techniques, stopping criteria, and applications. Different types of algorithms and applications are studied for subspaces, linear varieties, and general convex sets. The authors also unify these algorithms into a common theoretical framework. The book provides readers with the theoretical and practical aspects of the most relevant alternating projection methods in a single accessible source; it gives several acceleration techniques for every method it presents and analyzes, including schemes that cannot be found in other books; and it provides full descriptions of several important mathematical problems and specific applications for which the alternating projection methods represent an efficient option including examples and problems that illustrate this material.
Inherently Parallel Algorithms in Feasibility and Optimization and their Applications

The Haifa 2000 Workshop on "Inherently Parallel Algorithms for Feasibility and Optimization and their Applications" brought together top scientists in this area. The objective of the Workshop was to discuss, analyze and compare the latest developments in this fast growing field of applied mathematics and to identify topics of research which are of special interest for industrial applications and for further theoretical study.Inherently parallel algorithms, that is, computational methods which are, by their mathematical nature, parallel, have been studied in various contexts for more than fifty years. However, it was only during the last decade that they have mostly proved their practical usefulness because new generations of computers made their implementation possible in order to solve complex feasibility and optimization problems involving huge amounts of data via parallel processing. These led to an accumulation of computational experience and theoretical information and opened new and challenging questions concerning the behavior of inherently parallel algorithms for feasibility and optimization, their convergence in new environments and in circumstances in which they were not considered before their stability and reliability. Several research groups all over the world focused on these questions and it was the general feeling among scientists involved in this effort that the time has come to survey the latest progress and convey a perspective for further development and concerted scientific investigations. Thus, the editors of this volume, with the support of the Israeli Academy for Sciences and Humanities, took the initiative of organizing a Workshop intended to bring together the leading scientists in the field. The current volume is the Proceedings of the Workshop representing the discussions, debates and communications that took place. Having all that information collected in a single book will provide mathematicians and engineers interested in the theoretical and practical aspects of the inherently parallel algorithms for feasibility and optimization with a tool for determining when, where and which algorithms in this class are fit for solving specific problems, how reliable they are, how they behave and how efficient they were in previous applications. Such a tool will allow software creators to choose ways of better implementing these methods by learning from existing experience.
