    Abstract

    The metric projection onto an order nonnegative cone from the metric
    projection onto the corresponding order cone is derived. Particularly, we can
    use Pool Adjacent Violators-type algorithms developed for projecting onto the
    monotone cone for projecting onto the monotone nonnegative cone too.

    Abstract

    A very fast heuristic iterative method of projection on simplicial cones is
    presented. It consists in solving two linear systems at each step of the
    iteration. The extensive experiments indicate that the method furnishes the
    exact solution in more then 99.7 percent of the cases. The average number of
    steps is 5.67 (we have not found any examples which required more than 13
    steps) and the relative number of steps with respect to the dimension decreases
    dramatically. Roughly speaking, for high enough dimensions the absolute number
    of steps is independent of the dimension.
