The range of the Douglas-Rachford operator in infinite-dimensional Hilbert spaces

preprint2022arXivOpen access

Abstract

The Douglas-Rachford algorithm is one of the most prominent splitting algorithms for solving convex optimization problems. Recently, the method has been successful in finding a generalized solution (provided that one exists) for optimization problems in the inconsistent case, i.e., when a solution does not exist. The convergence analysis of the inconsistent case hinges on the study of the range of the displacement operator associated with the Douglas-Rachford splitting operator and the corresponding minimal displacement vector. In this paper, we provide a formula for the range of the Douglas-Rachford splitting operator in (possibly) infinite-dimensional Hilbert space under mild assumptions on the underlying operators. Our new results complement known results in finite-dimensional Hilbert spaces. Several examples illustrate and tighten our conclusions.
