Abstract

In this paper, we consider a generalized mixed variational-like inequality problem and prove a Minty-type lemma for its related auxiliary problems in a real Banach space. We prove the existence of a solution of these auxiliary problems and also prove some properties for the solution set of generalized mixed variational-like inequality problem. Furthermore, we introduce and study an inertial hybrid iterative method for solving the generalized mixed variational-like inequality problem involving Bregman relatively nonexpansive mapping in Banach space. We study the strong convergence for the proposed algorithm. Finally, we list some consequences and computational examples to emphasize the efficiency and relevancy of the main result.

1. Introduction

Throughout the paper, unless otherwise stated, let be a reflexive Banach space with as its dual and be the closed convex subset of . In this paper, we consider the generalized mixed variational-like inequality problem (in brief, GMVLIP): find such thatwhere and , be bifunction and trifunction, respectively, and be the set of real numbers. Sol (GMVLIP equation (1)) stands for the solution of equation (1). If , GMVLIP equation (1) is reduced to GVLIP: find such thatwhich is introduced by Preda et al. [1] (see, for instance, [2, 3]).

If we set , where and , GMVLIP equation (1) is reduced to MVLIP (see for details [4]).

Further, if we set and , GMVLIP equation (1) is reduced to VLIP: find such thatwhich is presented by Parida et al. [5].

Moreover, if , VLIP is reduced to VIP: find such thatwhich is introduced by Hartmann and Stampacchia [6].

If , , and , where is continuous and is differentiable and -convex, GMVLIP equation (1) is reduced to mathematical programming problem as [5]

Korpelevich [7] proposed the iterative method for VIP in 1976 on Hilbert space aswhere , denotes projection of onto , and is monotone and Lipschitz continuous mapping. This method is called the extragradient iterative method.

Nadezkhina and Takahashi [8] proposed a hybrid extragradient algorithm involving nonexpansive mapping on and studied the convergence analysis in 2006 as

The idea considered in [8] has been generalized in [9] from Hilbert to Banach space aswhere denotes generalized projection of onto , is the Lyapunov function such that , and is the normalized duality mapping with being its inverse. For further work, see [1017].

In 1967, an important technique was discovered by Bregman [18] in the light of Bregman distance function. This technique is very useful not only in design and interpretation of the iterative method but also to solve optimization and feasibility problems and to approximate equilibria, fixed point, variational inequalities, etc. (for details [1922]).

In 2010, Reich and Sabach [23] introduced iterative algorithm on Banach space involving maximal monotone operators. In the light of Bregman projection, there were various iterative algorithms studied by researchers in this field (see, for instance, [19, 2428]).

In 2008, Maingé [29] developed and studied an inertial Krasnosel’skiǐ–Mann algorithm as

For further work, see [3039].

Inspired by the work in [2, 27, 29], we establish an inertial hybrid iterative algorithm involving Bregman relatively nonexpansive mapping to find a common solution of GMVLIP equation (1) and a fixed-point problem in Banach space. Moreover, we study the convergence analysis for the main result. At last, we list some consequences and computational example to emphasize the efficiency and relevancy of the main result.

Moreover, we study the convergence analysis for the main result. At last, we list some consequences and computational example to emphasize the efficiency and relevancy of the main result. From the theoretical and application point of view, the inertial method via Bregman relatively nonexpansive mapping has a great importance on data analysis and some imaging problems. The inertial method has been studied by various researchers due to its importance (see for details [19, 2428, 30, 31, 3336, 39]).
