Abstract

In this paper, first, existence of solutions for a variational inequality associated with a nonexpansive mapping in Hadamard spaces is studied. Then, the inexact proximal point algorithm for approximation of a solution of the variational inequality, which is also a fixed point of the nonexpansive mapping, is proposed. We prove the \({\Delta}\)-convergence of the generated sequence by the algorithm as well as the strong convergence of a Halpern-type regularization one to a fixed point of the nonexpansive mapping. Our motivation is to give a step toward investigation of variational inequalities in CAT(0) spaces.
