Abstract

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

Determine an element xK such that T(x),xx0forallxK, where T:KH 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 x0K) ρT(PK[xkρT(xk)])+xk+1xk,xxk+10forallxKandfork0, which is equivalent to a double projection formula xk+1=PK[xkρT(PK[xkρT(xk)])], where PK denotes the projection of H onto K.
