%0 Journal Article %T Family Constraining of Iterative Algorithms %A Yair Censor %A Ioana Pantelimon %A Constantin Popa %J Mathematics %D 2013 %I arXiv %R 10.1007/s11075-013-9736-5 %X In constraining iterative processes, the algorithmic operator of the iterative process is pre-multiplied by a constraining operator at each iterative step. This enables the constrained algorithm, besides solving the original problem, also to find a solution that incorporates some prior knowledge about the solution. This approach has been useful in image restoration and other image processing situations when a single constraining operator was used. In the field of image reconstruction from projections a priori information about the original image, such as smoothness or that it belongs to a certain closed convex set, may be used to improve the reconstruction quality. We study here constraining of iterative processes by a family of operators rather than by a single operator. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/1306.6145v2
