The firstsuccessful application of alternating projection to this problem is attributedto Dykstra [127] [62] who in 1983 provided an elegant algorithm that prevailstoday. In 1988, Han [178] rediscovered the algorithm and provided aprimal−dual convergence proof. A synopsis of the history of alternatingprojection E.21 can be found in [64] where it becomes apparent that Dykstra’swork is seminal.E.10.3.1Dykstra’s algorithmAssume we are given some point b ∈ R n and closed convex sets{C k ⊂ R n | k=1... L}. Let x ki ∈ R n and y ki ∈ R n respectively denote aprimal and dual vector (whose meaning can be deduced from Figure 173and Figure 174) associated with set k at iteration i . Initializey k0 = 0 ∀k=1... L and x 1,0 = b (2085)E.21 For a synopsis of alternating projection applied to distance geometry, see [353,3.1].
