The Forward-Backward Algorithm and the Normal Problem.

The forward-backward splitting technique is a popular method for solving monotone inclusions that have applications in optimization. In this paper, we explore the behaviour of the algorithm when the inclusion problem has no solution. We present a new formula to define the normal solutions using the forward-backward operator. We also provide a formula for the range of the displacement map of the forward-backward operator. Several examples illustrate our theory. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
