Description
Summary:<p/> <p>We investigate an inexact proximal-type method, applied to the generalized variational inequality problem with maximal monotone operator in reflexive Banach spaces. Solodov and Svaiter (2000) first introduced a new proximal-type method for generating a strongly convergent sequence to the zero of maximal monotone operator in Hilbert spaces, and subsequently Kamimura and Takahashi (2003) extended Solodov and Svaiter algorithm and strong convergence result to the setting of uniformly convex and uniformly smooth Banach spaces. In this paper Kamimura and Takahashi's algorithm is extended to develop a generic inexact proximal point algorithm, and their convergence analysis is extended to develop a generic convergence analysis which unifies a wide class of proximal-type methods applied to finding the zeroes of maximal monotone operators in the setting of Hilbert spaces or Banach spaces.</p>
