Abstract
Let X and Y be two closed subspaces of a Hilbert space. If we send a point back and forth between them by orthogonal projection, the iterates converge to the projection of the point on the intersection of X and Y. We will investigate when a sequence of orthoprojections of a point in a Hilbert space on a finite family of closed subspaces, or more generally, closed convex subsets, converges.
