Proximal Methods for Mixed Variational Inequalities

A proximal point method for solving mixed variational inequalities is suggested and analyzed by using the auxiliary principle technique. It is shown that the convergence of the proposed method requires only the pseudomonotonicity of the operator, which is a weaker condition than monotonicity. As special cases, we obtain various known and new results for solving variational inequalities and related problems. Our proof of convergence is very simple as compared with other methods.
