Abstract
Many mathematical and applied problems can be reduced to finding a common point of a system of convex sets. The aim of this paper is twofold: first, to present a unified framework for the study of all the projection-like methods, both parallel and serial (chaotic, mostremote set, cyclic order, barycentric, extrapolated, etc.); second, to establish strong convergence results for quite general sets of constraints (generalized Slater, generalized uniformly convex, made of affine varieties, complementary, etc.). This is done by introducing the concept of regular family. We proceed as follows: first, we present definitions, assumptions, theorems, and conclusions; thereafter, we prove them.
