Abstract

In this paper, we propose a projection method for solving a system of nonlinear monotone equations with convex constraints. Under standard assumptions, we show the global convergence and the linear convergence rate of the proposed algorithm. Preliminary numerical experiments show that this method is efficient and promising.
