A modified Solodov-Svaiter method for solving nonmonotone variational inequality problems.

In a very interesting paper (SIAM J. Control Optim. 37(3): 765–776, 1999), Solodov and Svaiter introduced an effective projection algorithm with linesearch for finding a solution of a variational inequality problem (VIP) in Euclidean space. They showed that the iterative sequence generated by their algorithm converges to a solution of (VIP) under the main assumption that the cost mapping is pseudomonotone and continuous. In this paper, we propose to modify this algorithm for solving variational inequality problems in which the cost mapping is not required to be satisfied any pseudomonotonicity. Moreover, we do not use the embedded projection methods as in methods used in literature and the linesearch procedure is not necessary when the cost mapping is Lipschitz. Several numerical examples are also provided to illustrate the efficient of the proposed algorithms. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
