Abstract
.Finding a zero of a sum of maximally monotone operators is a fundamental problem in modern optimization and nonsmooth analysis. Assuming that the resolvents of the operators are available, this problem can be tackled with the Douglas–Rachford algorithm. However, when dealing with three or more operators, one must work in a product space with as many factors as there are operators. In groundbreaking recent work by Ryu and by Malitsky and Tam, it was shown that the number of factors can be reduced by one. A similar reduction was achieved recently by Campoy through a clever reformulation originally proposed by Kruger. All three splitting methods guarantee weak convergence to some solution of the underlying sum problem; strong convergence holds in the presence of uniform monotonicity. In this paper, we provide a case study when the operators involved are normal cone operators of subspaces and the solution set is thus the intersection of the subspaces. Even though these operators lack strict convexity, we show that striking conclusions are available in this case: strong (instead of weak) convergence and the solution obtained is (not arbitrary but) the projection onto the intersection. To illustrate our results, we also perform numerical experiments.Keywordsbest approximationCampoy splittingHilbert spaceintersection of subspaceslinear convergenceMalitsky–Tam splittingmaximally monotone operatornonexpansive mappingresolventRyu splittingMSC codes41A5049M2765K0547H0515A1047H0949M3790C25

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
