Title of Seminar:

New Demiclosedness Principles for (Firmly) Nonexpansive Operators

Speaker's Name:

Time and Date:

Seminar Abstract:

The demiclosedness principle is one of the key tools in nonlinear analysis and fixed point theory. In this talk, this principle is extended and made more flexible by two mutually orthogonal affine subspaces. Versions for finitely many (firmly) nonexpansive operators are presented. As an application, a simple proof of the weak convergence of the Douglas-Rachford splitting algorithm is provided.
