Strong convergence of new iterative projection methods with regularization for solving monotone variational inequalities in Hilbert spaces

In this paper, we introduce two new numerical methods for solving a variational inequality problem involving a monotone and Lipschitz continuous operator in a Hilbert space. We describe how to incorporate a regularization term depending on a parameter in the projection method and then establish the strong convergence of the resulting iterative regularization projection methods. Unlike known hybrid methods, the strong convergence of the new methods comes from the regularization technique. The first method is designed to work in the case where the Lipschitz constant of cost operator is known, whereas the second one is more easily implemented without this requirement. The reason is because the second method has used a simple computable stepsize rule. The variable stepsizes are generated by the second method at each iteration and based on the previous iterates. These stepsizes are found with only one cheap computation without line-search procedure. Several numerical experiments are implemented to show the computational effectiveness of the new methods over existing methods.
