Abstract
In this paper we propose an algorithm for solving the split feasibility problem \(x\in C, Ax\in Q\) with C being the solution set of an equilibrium problem and A can be nonlinear. The proposed algorithm is a combination between the projection method for the equilibrium problem and the gradient method for the inclusion \(Ax\in Q\). The convergence of the algorithm is investigated. A numerical example for a jointly constrained Nash equilibrium model in electricity production market is provided to demonstrate the behavior of the algorithm.
