Does the projection of a vector $X$ in $\mathbb{R}^k$ onto a closed convex cone (positively homogenous set) $C$ in $\mathbb{R}^k$ with respect to a positve definite projection matrix $V$ always exist? i.e.
$\inf_{w\in C}\left(X-w\right)^TV\left(X-w\right)=\min_{w\in C}\left(X-w\right)^TV\left(X-w\right)$
Specifically I am interested in cone $C$ with linear constraints over its elements (of course these must not violate the properties of a cone).
Many thanks
