Abstract

The approximation-solvability of the following nonlinear variational inequality (NVI) problem is presented:

Determine an element x∗∈K such that 〈T(x∗),x−x∗〉≥0  for all  x∈K, where T:K→H is a mapping from a nonempty closed convex subset K of a real Hilbert space H into H. The iterative procedure is characterized as a nonlinear variational inequality (for any arbitrarily chosen initial point x0∈K) 〈ρT(PK[xk−ρT(xk)])+xk+1−xk,x−xk+1〉≥0for all  x∈K  and for  k≥0, which is equivalent to a double projection formula xk+1=PK[xk−ρT(PK[xk−ρT(xk)])], where PK denotes the projection of H onto K.
