Modified self-adaptive projection method for solving pseudomonotone variational inequalities

In this paper, a self-adaptive projection method with a new search direction for solving pseudomonotone variational inequality (VI) problems is proposed, which can be viewed as an extension of the methods in [B.S. He, X.M. Yuan, J.Z. Zhang, Comparison of two kinds of prediction-correction methods for monotone variational inequalities, Computational Optimization and Applications 27 (2004) 247–267] and [X.H. Yan, D.R. Han, W.Y. Sun, A self-adaptive projection method with improved step-size for solving variational inequalities, Computers & Mathematics with Applications 55 (2008) 819–832]. The descent property of the new search direction is proved, which is useful to guarantee the convergence. Under the relatively relaxed condition that F is continuous and pseudomonotone, the global convergence of the proposed method is proved. Numerical experiments are provided to illustrate the efficiency of the proposed method.
