Hybrid iterative scheme by a relaxed extragradient method for solutions of equilibrium problems and a general system of variational inequalities with application to optimization

In this paper, we introduce a new iterative process for finding the common element of the set of fixed points of a nonexpansive mapping, the set of solutions of an equilibrium problem and the solutions of the variational inequality problem for two inverse-strongly monotone mappings. We introduce a new viscosity relaxed extragradient approximation method which is based on the so-called relaxed extragradient method and the viscosity approximation method. We show that the sequence converges strongly to a common element of the above three sets under some parametric controlling conditions. Moreover, using the above theorem, we can apply to finding solutions of a general system of variational inequality and a zero of a maximal monotone operator in a real Hilbert space. The results of this paper extended, improved and connected with the results of Ceng et al., [L.-C. Ceng, C.-Y. Wang, J.-C.

Strong convergence of the iterative scheme based on the extragradient method for mixed equilibrium problems and fixed point problems of an infinite family of nonexpansive mappings

In this paper, we introduce an iterative scheme based on the extragradient approximation method for finding a common element of the set of common fixed points of a countable family of nonexpansive mappings, the set of solutions of a mixed equilibrium problem, and the set of solutions of the variational inequality problem for a monotone L-Lipschitz continuous mapping in a real Hilbert space. Then, the strong convergence theorem is proved under some parameters controlling conditions. Applications to optimization problems are given.

Modified Extragradient Methods for a System of Variational Inequalities in Banach Spaces

In this paper, we introduce a new system of general variational inequalities in Banach spaces. We establish the equivalence between this system of variational inequalities and fixed point problems involving the nonexpansive mapping. This alternative equivalent formulation is used to suggest and analyze a modified extragradient method for solving the system of general variational inequalities. Using the demi-closedness principle for nonexpansive mappings, we prove the strong convergence of the proposed iterative method under some suitable conditions.     

A viscosity of extragradient approximation method for finding equilibrium problems, variational inequalities and fixed point problems for nonexpansive mappings

In this paper, we investigate the problem for finding the set of solutions for equilibrium problems, the set of solutions of the variational inequalities for k-Lipschitz continuous mappings and fixed point problems for nonexpansive mappings in a Hilbert space. We introduce a new viscosity extragradient approximation method which is based on the so-called viscosity approximation method and extragradient method. We show that the sequence converges strongly to a common element of the above three sets under some parameters controlling conditions. Finally, we utilize our results to study some convergence problems for finding the zeros of maximal monotone operators. Our results are generalization and extension of the results of Kumam [P.

A relaxed extragradient-like method for a generalized mixed equilibrium problem,a general system of generalized equilibria and a fixed point problem

Very recently, Takahashi and Takahashi [S. Takahashi, W. Takahashi, Strong convergence theorem for a generalized equilibrium problem and a nonexpansive mapping in a Hilbert space, Nonlinear Anal. 69 (2008) 1025–1033] suggested and analyzed an iterative method for finding a common solution of a generalized equilibrium problem and a fixed point problem of a nonexpansive mapping in a Hilbert space. In this paper, based on Takahashi–Takahashi’s iterative method and well-known extragradient method we introduce a relaxed extragradient-like method for finding a common solution of a generalized mixed equilibrium problem, a general system of generalized equilibria and a fixed point problem of a strictly pseudocontractive mapping in a Hilbert space and then obtain a strong convergence theorem. Utilizing this theorem, we establish some new strong convergence results in fixed point problems, variational inequalities, mixed equilibrium problems and systems of generalized equilibria.

New iterative scheme with nonexpansive mappings for equilibrium problems and variational inequality problems in Hilbert spaces

Recently, Ceng, Guu and Yao introduced an iterative scheme by viscosity-like approximation method to approximate the fixed point of nonexpansive mappings and solve some variational inequalities in Hilbert space (see Ceng et al. (2009) [9]). Takahashi and Takahashi proposed an iteration scheme to solve an equilibrium problem and approximate the fixed point of nonexpansive mapping by viscosity approximation method in Hilbert space (see Takahashi and Takahashi (2007) [12]). In this paper, we introduce an iterative scheme by viscosity approximation method for finding a common element of the set of a countable family of nonexpansive mappings and the set of an equilibrium problem in a Hilbert space. We prove the strong convergence of the proposed iteration to the unique solution of a variational inequality.     

Iterative Methods for Pseudomonotone Variational Inequalities and Fixed-Point Problems

In this paper, we introduce an iterative scheme for finding a common element of the set of solution of a pseudomonotone, Lipschitz-continuous variational inequality problem and the set of common fixed points of an infinite family of nonexpansive mappings. The proposed iterative method combines two well-known schemes: extragradient and approximate proximal methods. We derive some necessary and sufficient conditions for strong convergence of the sequences generated by the proposed scheme.     

A projection-fixed point method for a class of bilevel variational inequalities with split fixed point constraints

We propose a method for solving bilevel split variational inequalities involving strongly monotone operators in the leader problems and nonexpansive mappings in the follower ones. The proposed method is a combination between the projection method for variational inequality and the Krasnoselskii–Mann scheme for fixed points of nonexpansive mappings. Strong convergence of the iterative process is proved. Special cases are considered.

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.
