Query: Convergence Analysis of Alternating Projection Method for Nonconvex Sets   Alternating projection method has been used in a wide range of engineering
applications since it is a gradient-free method (without requiring tuning the
step size) and usually has fast speed of convergence. In this paper, we
formalize two properties of proper, lower semi-continuous and semi-algebraic
sets: the three-point property for all possible iterates and the local
contraction property that serves as the non-expensiveness property of the
projector but only for the iterates that are close enough to each other. Then
by exploiting the geometric properties of the objective function around its
critical point, i.e. the Kurdyka-\L{ojasiewicz} (KL) property, we establish a
new convergence analysis framework to show that if one set satisfies the
three-point property and the other one obeys the local contraction property,
the iterates generated by alternating projection method is a convergent
sequence and converges to a critical point. We complete this study by providing
convergence rate which depends on the explicit expression of the KL exponent.
As a byproduct, we use our new analysis framework to recover the linear
convergence rate of alternating projection method onto closed convex sets. To
illustrate the power of our new framework, we provide new convergence result
for a class of concrete applications: alternating projection method for
designing structured tight frames that are widely used in sparse
representation, compressed sensing and communication.
