Abstract

A mixed monotone variational inequality (MMVI) problem in a Hilbert space H is formulated to find a point uH such that Tu,vu+φ(v)φ(u)0 for all vH, where T is a monotone operator and φ is a proper, convex, and lower semicontinuous function on H. Iterative algorithms are usually applied to find a solution of an MMVI problem. We show that the iterative algorithm introduced in the work of Wang et al., (2001) has in general weak convergence in an infinite-dimensional space, and the algorithm introduced in the paper of Noor (2001) fails in general to converge to a solution.
