Abstract

In this paper, we use the technique of updating the solution to suggest and analyze a class of new self-adaptive splitting methods for solving general mixed variational inequalities. It is shown that these modified methods converge for pseudomonotone operators, which is a weaker condition than monotonicity. Proof of convergence is very simple. Since general mixed variational include variational inequalities and complementarity problems as special cases, our results continue to hold for these problems.
