Iterative method for fixed point problem, variational inequality and generalized mixed equilibrium problems with applications

In this paper, we introduce a new iterative scheme for finding a common element of the set of fixed points of a nonexpansive mapping, the set of solution of generalized mixed equilibrium problem and the set of solutions of the variational inequality problem for a co-coercive mapping in a real Hilbert space. Then strong convergence of the scheme to a common element of the three sets is proved. Furthermore, new convergence results are deduced and finally we apply our results to solving optimization problems and present other applications.     

Fixed point solutions of generalized equilibrium problems for nonexpansive mappings

In this paper, we introduce an iterative scheme for finding a common element of the set of fixed points of a nonexpansive mapping and the set of solutions of a generalized equilibrium problem in a real Hilbert space. Then, strong convergence of the scheme to a common element of the two sets is proved. As an application, problem of finding a common element of the set of fixed points of a nonexpansive mapping and the set of solutions of an equilibrium problem is solved. Moreover, solution is given to the problem of finding a common element of fixed points set of nonexpansive mappings and the set of solutions of a variational inequality problem.     

Strong convergence theorems for variational inequality, equilibrium and fixed point problems with applications

In this paper, we introduce a new iterative scheme for finding a common element of the set of common solutions of a finite family of equilibrium problems with relaxed monotone mappings, of the set of common solutions of a finite family of variational inequalities and of the set of common fixed points of an infinite family of nonexpansive mappings in a Hilbert space. Strong convergence for the proposed iterative scheme is proved. As an application, we solve a multi-objective optimization problem using the result of this paper. Our results improve and extend the corresponding ones announced by others.     

Iterative algorithms for variational inequality and equilibrium problems with applications

In this paper, we introduce an iterative method for finding a common element of the set of solutions of equilibrium problems, of the set of variational inequalities and of the set of common fixed points of an infinite family of nonexpansive mappings in the framework of real Hilbert spaces. Strong convergence of the proposed iterative algorithm is obtained. As an application, we utilize the main results which improve the corresponding results announced in Chang et al. (Nonlinear Anal, 70:3307–3319, 2009), Colao et al. (J Math Anal Appl, 344:340–352, 2008), Plubtieng and Punpaeng (Appl Math Comput, 197:548–558, 2008) to study the optimization problem.     

Minimization of equilibrium problems,variational inequality problems and fixed point problems

In this paper, we devote to find the solution of the following quadratic minimization problem

$\min_{x\in \Omega}\|x\|^2,$

where Ω is the intersection set of the solution set of some equilibrium problem, the fixed points set of a nonexpansive mapping and the solution set of some variational inequality. In order to solve the above minimization problem, we first construct an implicit algorithm by using the projection method. Further, we suggest an explicit algorithm by discretizing this implicit algorithm. Finally, we prove that the proposed implicit and explicit algorithms converge strongly to a solution of the above minimization problem.

In this paper, we consider an iterative method for finding a common element of the set of a generalized equilibrium problem, of the set of solutions to a system of variational inequalities and of the set of fixed points of a strict pseudo-contraction. Strong convergence theorems are established in the framework of Hilbert spaces. The results presented in this paper improve and extend the corresponding results announced by many others.     

Existence of solutions for generalized variational inequality problems in Banach spaces

In this paper, we prove the existence of solutions of generalized variational inequality for upper semicontinuous multivalued mappings with compact contractible values over compact convex subsets in a reflexive Banach space with a Fréchet differentiable norm. Moreover, we give some conditions that guarantee the existence of solutions of generalized variational inequality for upper semicontinuous multivalued mappings with compact contractible values over unbounded closed convex subsets. The result obtained in this paper improves and extends the recent ones announced by Yu and Yang [J. Yu, H. Yang, Existence of solutions for generalized variational inequality problems, Nonlinear Anal., 71 (2009) e2327-e2330] and many others.

The results presented improve and extend the corresponding results of many others.     

A hybrid approximation method for equilibrium,variational inequality and fixed point problems

The purpose of this paper is to present an iterative scheme by a hybrid method for finding a common element of the fixed points of $?$-asymptotically nonexpansive mapping, the set of solutions of the equilibrium problem and the set of solutions of the variational inequality for an inverse strongly monotone operator in the framework of Banach spaces. We show that the iterative scheme converges strongly to a common element of the above three sets under appropriate conditions.

Math. 36(2005), 629–640.]     

Set-valued equilibrium problems with applications to Browder variational inclusions and to fixed point theory

In this paper, we deal with set-valued equilibrium problems under mild conditions of continuity and convexity on subsets recently introduced in the literature. We obtain that neither semicontinuity nor convexity are needed on the whole domain when solving set-valued and single-valued equilibrium problems. As applications, we derive some existence results for Browder variational inclusions, and we extend the well-known Berge maximum theorem in order to obtain two versions of Kakutani and Schauder fixed point theorems.

Furthermore, we prove that the proposed iterative algorithm has strong convergence under some mild conditions imposed on algorithm parameters.

We introduce an iterative process for finding an element in the common fixed point set of finite family of closed relatively quasi-nonexpansive mappings, common solutions of finite family of equilibrium problems and common solutions of finite family of variational inequality problems for monotone mappings in Banach spaces. Our theorem extends and unifies most of the results that have been proved for this important class of nonlinear operators.     

Some generalizations of Ekeland-type variational principle with applications to equilibrium problems and fixed point theory

In this paper, we introduce the concept of a Q$Q$-function defined on a quasi-metric space which generalizes the notion of a τ$\tau$-function and a w$w$-distance. We establish Ekeland-type variational principles in the setting of quasi-metric spaces with a Q$Q$-function. We also present an equilibrium version of the Ekeland-type variational principle in the setting of quasi-metric spaces with a Q$Q$-function. We prove some equivalences of our variational principles with Caristi–Kirk type fixed point theorems for multivalued maps, the Takahashi minimization theorem and some other related results. As applications of our results, we derive existence results for solutions of equilibrium problems and fixed point theorems for multivalued maps. We also extend the Nadler’s fixed point theorem for multivalued maps to a Q$Q$-function and in the setting of complete quasi-metric spaces. As a consequence, we prove the Banach contraction theorem for a Q$Q$-function and in the setting of complete quasi-metric spaces. The results of this paper extend and generalize many results appearing recently in the literature.

A variational inequality and applications to quasistatic problems with Coulomb friction

The aim of this paper is to study an evolution variational inequality that generalizes some contact problems with Coulomb friction in small deformation elasticity. Using an incremental procedure, appropriate estimates and convergence properties of the discrete solutions, the existence of a continuous solution is proved. This abstract result is applied to quasistatic contact problems with a local Coulomb friction law for nonlinear Hencky and also for linearly elastic materials.     

Outer approximation schemes for generalized semi-infinite variational inequality problems

We introduce and analyse outer approximation schemes for solving variational inequality problems in which the constraint set is as in generalized semi-infinite programming. We call these problems generalized semi-infinite variational inequality problems. First, we establish convergence results of our method under standard boundedness assumptions. Second, we use suitable Tikhonov-like regularizations for establishing convergence in the unbounded case.
