Alternating projections, remotest projections, and greedy approximation (Q2209301)

This nice paper establishes parallels between convergence properties separately known for alternating projections, remotest projections, and greedy approximation in Hilbert space. In particular, the dichotomy `exponential rate of convergence everywhere on Hilbert space', or `arbitrarily slow convergence for certain starting elements', is discussed in all three contexts. A conjecture of \textit{F. Deutsch} and \textit{H. Hundal} [J. Approx. Theory 162, No. 9, 1717--1738 (2010; Zbl 1208.41013)] is proved. The paper ends with an example showing that, in spite of many similar convergence properties, the family of remotest projections is really distinct from alternating projections.
