The method of projections onto convex sets to find a point in the intersection of a finite number of closed convex sets in a Euclidean space, may lead to slow convergence of the constructed sequence when that sequence enters some narrow “corridor” between two or more convex sets. A way to leave such corridor consists in taking a big step at different moments during the iteration, because in that way the monotoneous behaviour that is responsible for the slow convergence may be interrupted. In this paper we present a technique that may introduce interruption of the monotony for a sequential algorithm, but that at the same time guarantees convergence of the constructed sequence to a point in the intersection of the sets. We compare experimentally the behaviour concerning the speed of convergence of the new algorithm with that of an existing monotoneous algorithm.
