An extension of the projected gradient method to a Banach space setting with application in structural topology optimization [PDF]
, 2015 For the minimization of a nonlinear cost functional $j$ under convex constraints the relaxed projected gradient process $\varphi_{k+1} = \varphi_{k} + \alpha_k(P_H(\varphi_{k}-\lambda_k \nabla_H j(\varphi_{k}))-\varphi_{k})$ is a well known method.
