  "abstract": "The Douglas-Rachford algorithm can be represented as the fixed point iteration of a firmly nonexpansive operator, which converges to a fixed point, provided it exists. When the operator has no fixed points, the algorithm's iterates diverge, but the difference between consecutive iterates converges to the minimal displacement vector, which can be used to certify infeasibility of an optimization problem. In this paper, we establish new properties of the minimal displacement vector, which allow us to generalize some existing results.",
