Iterative Algorithms for Nonlinear Operators

Abstract

Iterative algorithms for nonexpansive mappings and maximal monotone operators are investigated. Strong convergence theorems are proved for nonexpansive mappings, including an improvement of a result of Lions. A modification of Rockafellar's proximal point algorithm is obtained and proved to be always strongly convergent. The ideas of these algorithms are applied to solve a quadratic minimization problem.
