Modified extragradient algorithms for solving equilibrium problems

ABSTRACT

In this paper, we introduce some new algorithms for solving the equilibrium problem in a Hilbert space which are constructed around the proximal-like mapping and inertial effect. Also, some convergence theorems of the algorithms are established under mild conditions. Finally, several experiments are performed to show the computational efficiency and the advantage of the proposed algorithm over other well-known algorithms.

Interior proximal extragradient method for equilibrium problems

The Bregman function-based Proximal Point Algorithm (BPPA) is an efficient tool for solving equilibrium problems and fixed-point problems. Extending rather classical proximal regularization methods, the main additional feature consists in an application of zone coercive regularizations. The latter allows to treat the generated subproblems as unconstrained ones, albeit with a certain precaution in numerical experiments. However, compared to the (classical) Proximal Point Algorithm for equilibrium problems, convergence results require additional assumptions which may be seen as the price to pay for unconstrained subproblems. Unfortunately, they are quite demanding – for instance, as they imply a sort of unique solvability of the given problem. The main purpose of this paper is to develop a modification of the BPPA, involving an additional extragradient step with adaptive (and explicitly given) stepsize. We prove that this extragradient step allows to leave out any of the additional assumptions mentioned above. Hence, though still of interior proximal type, the suggested method is applicable to an essentially larger class of equilibrium problems, especially including non-uniquely solvable ones.     

New subgradient extragradient methods for common solutions to equilibrium problems

In this paper, three parallel hybrid subgradient extragradient algorithms are proposed for finding a common solution of a finite family of equilibrium problems in Hilbert spaces. The proposed algorithms originate from previously known results for variational inequalities and can be considered as modifications of extragradient methods for equilibrium problems. Theorems of strong convergence are established under the standard assumptions imposed on bifunctions. Some numerical experiments are given to illustrate the convergence of the new algorithms and to compare their behavior with other algorithms.     

The interior proximal extragradient method for solving equilibrium problems

In this article we present a new and efficient method for solving equilibrium problems on polyhedra. The method is based on an interior-quadratic proximal term which replaces the usual quadratic proximal term. This leads to an interior proximal type algorithm. Each iteration consists in a prediction step followed by a correction step as in the extragradient method. In a first algorithm each of these steps is obtained by solving an unconstrained minimization problem, while in a second algorithm the correction step is replaced by an Armijo-backtracking linesearch followed by an hyperplane projection step. We prove that our algorithms are convergent under mild assumptions: pseudomonotonicity for the two algorithms and a Lipschitz property for the first one. Finally we present some numerical experiments to illustrate the behavior of the proposed algorithms.     

An extragradient method for equilibrium problems on Hadamard manifolds

In this paper, we propose an extragradient algorithm for solving equilibrium problems on Hadamard manifolds to the case where the equilibrium bifunction is not necessarily pseudomonotone. Under mild assumptions, we establish global convergence results. We show that the multiobjective optimization problem satisfies all the hypotheses of our result of convergence, when formulated as an equilibrium problem.     

Modified subgradient extragradient algorithms for variational inequality problems and fixed point problems

The subgradient extragradient method can be considered as an improvement of the extragradient method for variational inequality problems for the class of monotone and Lipschitz continuous mappings. In this paper, we propose two new algorithms as combination between the subgradient extragradient method and Mann-like method for finding a common element of the solution set of a variational inequality and the fixed point set of a demicontractive mapping.     

New subgradient extragradient methods for solving monotone bilevel equilibrium problems

ABSTRACT

In this paper, we propose new subgradient extragradient methods for finding a solution of a strongly monotone equilibrium problem over the solution set of another monotone equilibrium problem which usually is called monotone bilevel equilibrium problem in Hilbert spaces. The first proposed algorithm is based on the subgradient extragradient method presented by Censor et al. [Censor Y, Gibali A, Reich S. The subgradient extragradient method for solving variational inequalities in Hilbert space. J Optim Theory Appl. 2011;148:318–335]. The strong convergence of the algorithm is established under monotone assumptions of the cost bifunctions with Lipschitz-type continuous conditions recently presented by Mastroeni in the auxiliary problem principle. We also present a modification of the algorithm for solving an equilibrium problem, where the constraint domain is the common solution set of another equilibrium problem and a fixed point problem. Several fundamental experiments are provided to illustrate the numerical behaviour of the algorithms and to compare with others.     

An extragradient method for relaxed cocoercive variational inequality and equilibrium problems

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the problem of finding the common element of the set of common fixed points of a countable family of nonexpansivemappings, the set of an equilibrium problem and the set of solutions of the variational inequality problem for a relaxed cocoercive and Lipschitz continuous mapping in Hilbert spaces. Then, we show that the sequence converges strongly to a common element of the above three sets under some parameter controlling conditions, which are connected with Yao, Liou, Yao, Takahashi and many others.     

Parallel hybrid extragradient methods for pseudomonotone equilibrium problems and nonexpansive mappings

In this paper we propose and analyze three parallel hybrid extragradient methods for finding a common element of the set of solutions of equilibrium problems involving pseudomonotone bifunctions and the set of fixed points of nonexpansive mappings in a real Hilbert space. Based on parallel computation we can reduce the overall computational effort under widely used conditions on the bifunctions and the nonexpansive mappings. A simple numerical example is given to illustrate the proposed parallel algorithms.     

A new class of hybrid extragradient algorithms for solving quasi-equilibrium problems

Generalized Nash equilibrium problems are important examples of quasi-equilibrium problems. The aim of this paper is to study a general class of algorithms for solving such problems. The method is a hybrid extragradient method whose second step consists in finding a descent direction for the distance function to the solution set. This is done thanks to a linesearch. Two descent directions are studied and for each one several steplengths are proposed to obtain the next iterate. A general convergence theorem applicable to each algorithm of the class is presented. It is obtained under weak assumptions: the pseudomonotonicity of the equilibrium function and the continuity of the multivalued mapping defining the constraint set of the quasi-equilibrium problem. Finally some preliminary numerical results are displayed to show the behavior of each algorithm of the class on generalized Nash equilibrium problems.     

A hybrid extragradient method for solving pseudomonotone equilibrium problems using Bregman distance

In this paper, using a hybrid extragradient method, we introduce a new iterative process for approximating a common element of the set of solutions of equilibrium problems involving pseudomonotone bifunctions and the set of common fixed points of a finite family of multi-valued Bregman relatively nonexpansive mappings in the setting of reflexive Banach spaces. For this purpose, we introduce Bregman–Lipschitz-type condition for a pseudomonotone bifunction. It seems that these results for pseudomonotone bifunctions are first in reflexive Banach spaces. This paper concludes with certain applications, where we utilize our results to study the determination of a common point of the solution set of a variational inequality problem and the fixed point set of a finite family of multi-valued relatively nonexpansive mappings. A numerical example to support our main theorem will be exhibited.     

Hybrid extragradient method for general equilibrium problems and fixed point problems in Hilbert space

In this paper, we introduce an iterative scheme by the hybrid methods for finding a common element of the set of fixed points of nonexpansive mappings, the set of solutions of an equilibrium problem and the set of solutions of a variational inequality problem in a Hilbert space. Then, we prove the strongly convergent theorem by a hybrid extragradient method to the common element of the set of fixed points of nonexpansive mappings, the set of solutions of an equilibrium problem and the set of solutions of a variational inequality problem. Our results extend and improve the results of Bnouhachem et al. [A. Bnouhachem, M. Aslam Noor, Z. Hao, Some new extragradient iterative methods for variational inequalities, Nonlinear Analysis (2008) doi:10.1016/j.na.2008.02.014] and many others.     

New extragradient method for a class of equilibrium problems in Hilbert spaces

The paper proposes a new extragradient algorithm for solving strongly pseudomonotone equilibrium problems which satisfy a Lipschitz-type condition recently introduced by Mastroeni in auxiliary problem principle. The main novelty of the paper is that the algorithm generates the strongly convergent sequences in Hilbert spaces without the prior knowledge of Lipschitz-type constants and any hybrid method. Several numerical experiments on a test problem are also presented to illustrate the convergence of the algorithm.     

Some subgradient extragradient type algorithms for solving split feasibility and fixed point problems

In this paper, we consider the split feasibility problem (SFP) in infinite‐dimensional Hilbert spaces and propose some subgradient extragradient‐type algorithms for finding a common element of the fixed‐point set of a strict pseudocontraction mapping and the solution set of a split feasibility problem by adopting Armijo‐like stepsize rule. We derive convergence results under mild assumptions. Our results improve some known results from the literature. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

The Tikhonov regularization extended to equilibrium problems involving pseudomonotone bifunctions

We extend the Tikhonov regularization method widely used in optimization and monotone variational inequality studies to equilibrium problems. It is shown that the convergence results obtained from the monotone variational inequality remain valid for the monotone equilibrium problem. For pseudomonotone equilibrium problems, the Tikhonov regularized subproblems have a unique solution only in the limit, but any Tikhonov trajectory tends to the solution of the original problem, which is the unique solution of the strongly monotone equilibrium problem defined on the basis of the regularization bifunction.     

Iterative algorithms for generalized mixed equilibrium problems

In this paper, we consider a generalized mixed equilibrium problem in real Hilbert space. Using the auxiliary principle, we define a class of resolvent mappings. Further, using fixed point and resolvent methods, we give some iterative algorithms for solving generalized mixed equilibrium problem. Furthermore, we prove that the sequences generated by iterative algorithms converge weakly to the solution of generalized mixed equilibrium problem. These results require monotonicity (θ-pseudo monotonicity) and continuity (Lipschitz continuity) for mappings.     

Splitting extragradient-like algorithms for strongly pseudomonotone equilibrium problems

In this paper, two splitting extragradient-like algorithms for solving strongly pseudomonotone equilibrium problems given by a sum of two bifunctions are proposed. The convergence of the proposed methods is analyzed and the R-linear rate of convergence under suitable assumptions on bifunctions is established. Moreover, a noisy data case, when a part of the bifunction is contaminated by errors, is studied. Finally, some numerical experiments are given to demonstrate the efficiency of our algorithms.
