Iterative Algorithms for Variational Inequalities Governed by Boundedly Lipschitzian and Strongly Monotone Operators by Caiping Yang, Songnian He

“…Since our algorithms avoid calculating the projection PC (calculating PC by computing a sequence of projections onto half-spaces containing the original domain C) directly and select the stepsizes through a self-adaptive way (having no need to know any information of bounded Lipschitz constants of F (i.e., Lipschitz constants on some bounded subsets of H)), the implementations of our algorithms are very easy. …”
