ABSTRACT

In this paper, we suggest and analyze some iterative methods for solving the system of nonconvex variational inequalities with two nonlinear mappings by using the projection technique. We show that the strong convergence of these iterative methods to the solutions of the system of nonconvex variational inequalities. Consequently, the results presented in this paper can be viewed as an improvement and refinement of some known results from the literature.

Keywords: Lipschitz continuous; strongly monotone mapping; Nonconvex; Uniformly prox regular.

1. INTRODUCTION

The theory of variational inequalities is a branch of the mathematical sciences dealing with general equilibrium problems. It has a wide range of applications in economics, operations research, industry, physical, and engineering sciences. Many research papers have been written lately, both on the theory and applications of this field. Important connection with main areas of pure and applied science have been made, see for example [3, 6, 7] and the references cited therein.

Variational inequalities theory, which was introduce by Stampacchia [20], provides us with a simple, natural general and unified framework to study a wide class of problems arising in pure and applied science. The development of variational inequality theory can be viewed as the simultaneous pursuit of two different lines of research. On the one hand, it reveals the fundamental facts on the qualitative aspects of the solutions to important classes of problems. On the other hand, it also enables us to develop highly efficient and powerful new numerical methods for solving, for example, obstacle, unilateral, free, moving, and complex equilibrium problems.

Using the projection operator, Noor [9] has established the equivalence between the general nonconvex variational inequalities and the fixed point problem. In this paper, we prove a new characterization of the projection operator for the prox-regular sets. Using this characterization, one can easily show that the nonconvex projection operator is Lipschitz continuous, which is a new result.

In 2010, N. Petrot [19], introduced some existence theorems and provide the conditions for existence solutions of the variational inequalities problems in nonconvex setting and prove the strongly monotonic assumption of the mapping may not need for the existence of solutions.

In this paper we show that the convergence of iterative methods requires two nonlinear mappings with Lipschitz continuous and strongly monotone mappings. Our main result represents an improvement and refinement of the known results.

Let

H

with inner product

and norm

respectively. Let us recall the following well-known definitions and some auxiliary results of nonlinear convex analysis and nonsmooth analysis.

Definition 2.1 Let

uH

be a point not lying in

C

. A point

vC

is called a closest point or a projection of

u

onto

C

if

( u ) =  uv

when

d

C is a usual distance. The set of all such closest points is denoted by

Clark et al. [5] and Poliquin et al. [18] have introduced and atudied a new class of nonconvex sets, which are called uniformly prox-regular sets. This class or uniformly prox-regular sets has played an important part in many nonconvex applications such as optimization, dynamic systems, and differential inclusions.

Definition 2.4 For a given

r  (0, ]

, a subset

C

of

H

is said to be uniformly

r

-prox-regular with respect to

r

if, for all

xC

(2.4)

It is well known that a closed subset of a Hilbert space is convex if and only if it is proximally smooth of radius

r > 0

. Thus, in Definition 2.4, the case of

r = 

, the uniform

r

-prox-regularity

C

is equivalent to convexity of

C

. Then, it is clear that the class of uniformly prox-regular sets is sufficiently large to include the class

p

-convex sets,

C

1,1 submanifolds (possibly with boundary) of

H

, the images under a

C

1,1 diffeomorphism of convex sets, and many other nonconvex sets; see [5, 18].

We now recall the well-known lemmas of the uniform prox-regular sets.
