Trailer:

   We replace the text that appeared in this trailer in the previous versions of the page with a quotation of three paragraphs from the preface to the special issue: Y. Censor, G.T. Herman and M. Jiang (Guest Editors), "Superiorization: Theory and Applications", Special Issue of the journal Inverse Problems, Volume 33, Number 4, April 2017 [50] (all references refer to the bibliography below), followed by some additional notes.

   "The superiorization methodology is used for improving the efficacy of iterative algorithms whose convergence is resilient to certain kinds of perturbations. Such perturbations are designed to 'force' the perturbed algorithm to produce more useful results for the intended application than the ones that are produced by the original iterative algorithm. The perturbed algorithm is called the 'superiorized version' of the original unperturbed algorithm. If the original algorithm is computationally efficient and useful in terms of the application at hand and if the perturbations are simple and not expensive to calculate, then the advantage of this method is that, for essentially the computational cost of the original algorithm, we are able to get something more desirable by steering its iterates according to the designed perturbations. This is a very general principle that has been used successfully in some important practical applications, especially for inverse problems such as image reconstruction from projections, intensity-modulated radiation therapy and nondestructive testing, and awaits to be implemented and tested in additional fields.

   An important case is when the original algorithm is 'feasibility-seeking' (in the sense that it strives to find some point that is compatible with a family of constraints) and the perturbations that are introduced into the original iterative algorithm aim at reducing (not necessarily minimizing) a given merit function. In this case superiorization has a unique place in optimization theory and practice. Many constrained optimization methods are based on methods for unconstrained optimization that are adapted to deal with constraints. Such is, for example, the class of projected gradient methods wherein the unconstrained minimization inner step 'leads' the process and a projection onto the whole constraint set (the feasible set) is performed after each minimization step in order to regain feasibility. This projection onto the constraints set is in itself a non-trivial optimization problem and the need to solve it in every iteration hinders projected gradient methods and limits their efficiency only to feasible sets that are 'simple to project onto.' Barrier or penalty methods likewise are based on unconstrained optimization combined with various 'add-on's that guarantee that the constraints are preserved. Regularization methods embed the constraints into a 'regularized' objecive function and proceed with unconstrained solution methods for the new regularized objective function.

   In contrast to these approaches, the superiorization methodology can be viewed as an antipodal way of thinking. Instead of adapting unconstrained minimization algorithms to handling constraints, it adapts feasibility-seeking algorithms to reduce merit function values. This is done while retaining the feasibility-seeking nature of the algorithm and without paying a high computational price. Furthermore, general-purpose approaches have been developed for automatically superiorizing iterative algorithms for large classes of constraints sets and merit functions; these provide algorithms for many application tasks." (end of qoute.)

   To a novice on the superiorization methodology and perturbation resilience of algorithms we recommend to read first the recent reviews in [16, 25, 39]. For a recent description of previous work that is related to superiorization but is not included here, such as the works of Sidky and Pan, e.g., [6], we direct the reader to [24, section 3]. The SNARK14 software package [42], with its in-built capability to superiorize iterative algorithms to improve their performance, can be helpful to practitioners. Naturally there is variability among the bibliography items below in their degree of relevance to the superiorization methodology and perturbation resilience of algorithms. In some, such as in, e.g., [23] below, superiorization does not appear in the title, abstract or introduction but only inside the work, e.g., [23, Subsection 6.2.1: Optimization vs. Superiorization].

   A word about the history. The terms and notions "superiorization" and "perturbation resilience" first appeared in the 2009 paper of Davidi, Herman and Censor [7] which followed its 2007 forerunner by Butnariu, Davidi, Herman and Kazantsev [3]. The ideas have some of their roots in the 2006 and 2008 papers of Butnariu, Reich and Zaslavski [2, 4]. All these culminated in Ran Davidi's 2010 Ph.D. dissertation [13].
