Abstract

We consider an iterative scheme for finding a common element of the set of solutions of a pseudomonotone, Lipschitz-continuous variational inequality problem and the set of common fixed points of N nonexpansive mappings. The proposed iterative method combines two well-known schemes: extragradient and approximate proximal methods. We derive a necessary and sufficient condition for weak convergence of the sequences generated by the proposed scheme.
