Linear Regularity and Linear Convergence of Projection-Based Methods for Solving Convex Feasibility Problems

For a finite/infinite family of closed convex sets with nonempty intersection in Hilbert space, we consider the (bounded) linear regularity property and the linear convergence property of the projection-based methods for solving the convex feasibility problem. Several sufficient conditions are provided to ensure the bounded linear regularity in terms of the interior-point conditions and some finite codimension assumptions. A unified projection method, called Algorithm B-EMOPP, for solving the convex feasibility problem is proposed, and by using the bounded linear regularity, the linear convergence results for this method are established under a new control strategy introduced here.
