Cyclic Relaxed Douglas-Rachford Splitting for Inconsistent Nonconvex Feasibility (2502.12285v1)

Abstract: We study the cyclic relaxed Douglas-Rachford algorithm for possibly nonconvex, and inconsistent feasibility problems. This algorithm can be viewed as a convex relaxation between the cyclic Douglas-Rachford algorithm first introduced by Borwein and Tam [2014] and the classical cyclic projections algorithm. We characterize the fixed points of the cyclic relaxed Douglas-Rachford algorithm and show the relation of the {\em shadows} of these fixed points to the fixed points of the cyclic projections algorithm. Finally, we provide conditions that guarantee local quantitative convergence estimates in the nonconvex, inconsistent setting.
