Abstract

We study the generalized Fermat–Torricelli problem and the split feasibility problem with multiple output sets in Hilbert spaces. We first introduce the generalized Fermat–Torricelli problem, and propose and analyze a subgradient algorithm for solving this model problem. Then we study the convergence of variants of our proposed algorithm for solving the split feasibility problem with multiple output sets. Our algorithms for solving this problem are completely different from previous ones because we do not use the least squares sum method.
