Weak and Strong Convergence of Self Adaptive Inertial Subgradient Extragradient Algorithms for Solving Variational Inequality Problems

Many solutions of variational inequalities have been proposed,among which the subgradient extragradient method has obvious advantages.Two different algorithms are given for solving variational inequality problem in this paper.The problem we study is defined in a real Hilbert space and has L-Lipschitz and pseudomonotone condition.Two new algorithms adopt inertial technology and non-monotonic step size rule,and their convergence can still be proved when the value of L is not given in advance.Finally,some numerical results are designed to demonstrate the computational efficiency of our two new algorithms.

Inertial Subgradient Extragradient Algorithm for Solving Variational Inequality Problems with Pseudomonotonicity

In order to solve variational inequality problems of pseudomonotonicity and Lipschitz continuity in Hilbert spaces, an inertial subgradient extragradient algorithm is proposed by virtue of non-monotone stepsizes. Moreover, weak convergence and R-linear convergence analyses of the algorithm are constructed under appropriate assumptions. Finally, the efficiency of the proposed algorithm is demonstrated through numerical implementations.

A FRACTIONAL NONLINEAR EVOLUTIONARY DELAY SYSTEM DRIVEN BY A HEMI-VARIATIONAL INEQUALITY IN BANACH SPACES

This article deals with a new fractional nonlinear delay evolution system driven by a hemi-variational inequality in a Banach space.Utilizing the KKM theorem,a result concerned with the upper semicontinuity and measurability of the solution set of a hemivariational inequality is established.By using a fixed point theorem for a condensing setvalued map,the nonemptiness and compactness of the set of mild solutions are also obtained for such a system under mild conditions.Finally,an example is presented to illustrate our main results.

WEAK CONVERGENCE THEOREMS FOR GENERAL EQUILIBRIUM PROBLEMS AND VARIATIONAL INEQUALITY PROBLEMS AND FIXED POINT PROBLEMS IN BANACH SPACES

In this paper, we introduce two new iterative algorithms for finding a common element of the set of solutions of a general equilibrium problem and the set of solutions of the variational inequality for an inverse-strongly monotone operator and the set of common fixed points of two infinite families of relatively nonexpansive mappings or the set of common fixed points of an infinite family of relatively quasi-nonexpansive mappings in Banach spaces. Then we study the weak convergence of the two iterative sequences. Our results improve and extend the results announced by many others.

An FEM approximation for a fourth-order variational inequality of second kind

A fourth-order variational inequality of the second kind arising in a plate frictional bending problem is considered. By using regularization method, the original problem can be formulated as a differentiable variational equation, and the corresponding discrete FEM variational equation is presented afterwards. Abstract error estimates and error estimates of the approximation are derived in terms of energy norm and L^2-norm.

A predictor-corrector interior-point algorithmfor monotone variational inequality problems

Mehrotra's recent suggestion of a predictor corrector variant of primal dual interior point method for linear programming is currently the interior point method of choice for linear programming. In this work the authors give a predictor corrector interior point algorithm for monotone variational inequality problems. The algorithm was proved to be equivalent to a level 1 perturbed composite Newton method. Computations in the algorithm do not require the initial iteration to be feasible. Numerical results of experiments are presented.

RELAXED INERTIAL METHODS FOR SOLVING SPLIT VARIATIONAL INEQUALITY PROBLEMS WITHOUT PRODUCT SPACE FORMULATION

Many methods have been proposed in the literature for solving the split variational inequality problem.Most of these methods either require that this problem is transformed into an equivalent variational inequality problem in a product space,or that the underlying operators are co-coercive.However,it has been discovered that such product space transformation may cause some potential difficulties during implementation and its approach may not fully exploit the attractive splitting nature of the split variational inequality problem.On the other hand,the co-coercive assumption of the underlying operators would preclude the potential applications of these methods.To avoid these setbacks,we propose two new relaxed inertial methods for solving the split variational inequality problem without any product space transformation,and for which the underlying operators are freed from the restrictive co-coercive assumption.The methods proposed,involve projections onto half-spaces only,and originate from an explicit discretization of a dynamical system,which combines both the inertial and relaxation techniques in order to achieve high convergence speed.Moreover,the sequence generated by these methods is shown to converge strongly to a minimum-norm solution of the problem in real Hilbert spaces.Furthermore,numerical implementations and comparisons are given to support our theoretical findings.

A NEW VARIATIONAL INEQUALITY FORMULATION FOR SEEPAGE PROBLEMS WITH FREE SURFACES

A new variational inequality formulation for seepage problems with free surfaces was presented, in which a boundary condition of (Signorini's) type was prescribed over the potential seepage surfaces. This made the singularity of seepage points eliminated and the location of seepage points determined. Compared to other variational formulations, the proposed formulation owns better numerical stability.

THE VARIATIONAL INEQUALITY FORMULATION FOR THE DEFORMATION THEORY IN PLASTICITY AND ITS NON-ITERATIVE SOLUTION

In this paper, the deformation theory in plasticity is formulated in the variational inequality, which can relax the constraint conditions of the constitutive equations. The new form makes the calculation more convenient than general energy forms and have reliable mathematical basis. Thus the plasticity theory may be solved by means of the quadratic programming instead of the iterative methods. And the solutions can be made in one step without any diversion of the load.

The results of numerical experiments are reported to show the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.

Existence and stability of solutions to inverse variational inequality problems

In this paper, two new existence and quasi-variational inequality problems are theorems of solutions to inverse variational proved using the Fan-Knaster-Kuratowski- Mazurkiewicz （KKM） theorem and the Kakutani-Fan-Glicksberg fixed point theorem. Upper semicontinuity and lower semicontinuity of the solution mapping and the approximate solution mapping to the parametric inverse variational inequality problem are also discussed under some suitable conditions. An application to a road pricing problem is given.

Convergence analysis on Browder-Tikhonov regularization for second-order evolution hemivariational inequality

This paper studies the Browder-Tikhonov regularization of a second-order evolution hemivariational inequality （SOEHVI） with non-coercive operators. With duality mapping, the regularized formulations and a derived first-order evolution hemivariational inequality （FOEHVI） for the problem considered are presented. By applying the Browder-Tikhonov regularization method to the derived FOEHVI, a sequence of regularized solutions to the regularized SOEHVI is constructed, and the strong convergence of the whole sequence of regularized solutions to a solution to the problem is proved.

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 nonexpansive mappings, the set of an equilibrium problem and the set of solutions of the variational inequality prob- lem 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[17], Takahashi[12] and many others.
