Projection methods -- a guided tour

Abstract: Projection methods are conceptually simple yet powerful algorithms for solving feasibility and approximation problems. I will survey classical and modern results on projection methods. Theoretical (weak vs strong convergence), practical (approximation and acceleration), and applied (phase retrieval) aspects will be considered.
