Abstract

We establish sufficient conditions for finite convergence of the alternating projections method for two non-intersecting and potentially nonconvex sets. Our results are based on a generalization of the concept of intrinsic transversality, which until now has been restricted to sets with nonempty intersection. In the special case of a polyhedron and closed half space, our sufficient conditions define the minimum distance between the two sets that is required for alternating projections to converge in a single iteration.
