Nonsmooth penalty and subgradient algorithms to solve the problem of projection onto a polytope

  • Published:
Cybernetics and Systems Analysis Aims and scope

The least distance problem is considered for a convex hull of a finite family of vectors in a finite-dimensional Euclidian space. It is reduced to an equivalent nonsmooth optimization problem with a directly estimated penalty parameter for which subgradient algorithms with space dilation are proposed.
