Abstract
In this paper, we revisit the numerical approach to some classical variational inequalities, with monotone and Lipschitz continuous mapping A, by means of a projected reflected gradient-type method. A main feature of the method is that it formally requires only one projection step onto the feasible set and one evaluation of the involved mapping per iteration. Contrary to what was done so far, we establish the convergence of the method in a more general setting that allows us to use varying step-sizes without any requirement of additional projections. A linear convergence rate is obtained, when A is assumed to be strongly monotone. Preliminary numerical experiments are also performed.
