Perturbed Proximal Point Algorithm with Nonquadratic Kernel

Let H be a real Hilbert space and T be a maximal monotone operator on H. A well-known algorithm, developed by R. T. Rockafellar [16], for solving the problem (P) ”To find x ∈ H such that 0 ∈ T x” is the proximal point algorithm. Several generalizations have been considered by several authors: introduction of a perturbation, introduction of a variable metric in the perturbed algorithm, introduction of a pseudo-metric in place of the classical regularization, . . . We summarize some of these extensions by taking simultaneously into account a pseudo-metric as regularization and a perturbation in an inexact version of the algorithm.

The Perturbed Generalized Tikhonov's Algorithm

We work on the research of a zero of a maximal monotone operator on a real Hilbert space. Following the recent progress made in the context of the proximal point algorithm devoted to this problem, we introduce simultaneously a variable metric and a kind of relaxation in the perturbed Tikhonov’s algorithm studied by P. Tossings. So, we are led to work in the context of the variational convergence theory.
