Abstract

Let H be a real Hilbert space, Ω a nonempty closed convex subset of H, and T:Ω2H a maximal monotone operator with T10. Let PΩ be the metric projection of H onto Ω. Suppose that, for any given xnH, βn>0, and enH, there exists x¯nΩ satisfying the following set-valued mapping equation: xn+enx¯n+βnT(x¯n) for all n0, where {βn}(0,+) with βn+ as n and {en} is regarded as an error sequence such that n=0en2<+. Let {αn}(0,1] be a real sequence such that αn0 as n and n=0αn=. For any fixed uΩ, define a sequence {xn} iteratively as xn+1=αnu+(1αn)PΩ(x¯nen) for all n0. Then {xn} converges strongly to a point zT10 as n, where z=limtJtu.
