The paper suggests that future research should focus on improving the efficiency of the method.
The paper identifies the need for a method to overcome the inductive challenge. The paper identifies the need for a solution to resolve singularities of plane curves in positive characteristic.
The parameter selection strategy uses manual tuning (testing 'several reasonable values') for the inertial parameter θ_n and acceleration parameter p; a systematic or adaptive parameter selection framework for Douglas–Rachford methods on Hadamard manifolds is not developed.
