Weak convergence for variational inequalities with inertial-type method

Weak convergence of inertial iterative method for solving variational inequalities is the focus of this paper. The cost function is assumed to be non-Lipschitz and monotone. We propose a projection-type method with inertial terms and give weak convergence analysis under appropriate conditions. Some test results are performed and compared with relevant methods in the literature to show the efficiency and advantages given by our proposed methods

A Robust Numerical Scheme for Solving Riesz-Tempered Fractional Reaction-Diffusion Equations

The Fractional Diffusion Equation (FDE) is a mathematical model that describes anomalous transport phenomena characterized by non-local and long-range dependencies which deviate from the traditional behavior of diffusion. Solving this equation numerically is challenging due to the need to discretize complicated integral operators which increase the computational costs. These complexities are exacerbated by nonlinear source terms, nonsmooth data and irregular domains. In this study, we propose a second order Exponential Time Differencing Finite Element Method (ETD-RDP-FEM) to efficiently solve nonlinear FDE, posed in irregular domains. This approach discretizes matrix exponentials using a rational function with real and distinct poles, resulting in an L-stable scheme that damps spurious oscillations caused by non-smooth initial data. The method is shown to outperform existing second-order methods for FDEs with a higher accuracy and faster computational time.Comment: 26 page

Projection methods with alternating inertial steps for variational inequalities: Weak and linear convergence

The projection methods with vanilla inertial extrapolation step for variational inequalities have been of interest to many authors recently due to the improved convergence speed contributed by the presence of inertial extrapolation step. However, it is discovered that these projection methods with inertial steps lose the Fejér monotonicity of the iterates with respect to the solution, which is being enjoyed by their corresponding non-inertial projection methods for variational inequalities. This lack of Fejér monotonicity makes projection methods with vanilla inertial extrapolation step for variational inequalities not to converge faster than their corresponding non-inertial projection methods at times. Also, it has recently been proved that the projection methods with vanilla inertial extrapolation step may provide convergence rates that are worse than the classical projected gradient methods for strongly convex functions. In this paper, we introduce projection methods with alternated inertial extrapolation step for solving variational inequalities. We show that the sequence of iterates generated by our methods converges weakly to a solution of the variational inequality under some appropriate conditions. The Fejér monotonicity of even subsequence is recovered in these methods and linear rate of convergence is obtained. The numerical implementations of our methods compared with some other inertial projection methods show that our method is more efficient and outperforms some of these inertial projection methods

A reliable technique to study nonlinear time-fractional coupled Korteweg–de Vries equations

© 2020, The Author(s). This paper employs an efficient technique, namely q-homotopy analysis transform method, to study a nonlinear coupled system of equations with Caputo fractional-time derivative. The nonlinear fractional coupled systems studied in this present investigation are the generalized Hirota–Satsuma coupled with KdV, the coupled KdV, and the modified coupled KdV equations which are used as a model in nonlinear physical phenomena arising in biology, chemistry, physics, and engineering. The series solution obtained using this method is proved to be reliable and accurate with minimal computations. Several numerical comparisons are made with well-known analytical methods and the exact solutions when α= 1. It is evident from the results obtained that the proposed method outperformed other methods in handling the coupled systems considered in this paper. The effect of the fractional order on the problem considered is investigated, and the error estimate when compared with exact solution is presented

New convergence results for inertial Krasnoselskii–Mann iterations in Hilbert spaces with applications

We consider inertial iteration methods for Fermat–Weber location problem and primal–dual three-operator splitting in real Hilbert spaces. To do these, we first obtain weak convergence analysis and nonasymptotic O(1/n) convergence rate of the inertial Krasnoselskii–Mann iteration for fixed point of nonexpansive operators in infinite dimensional real Hilbert spaces under some seemingly easy to implement conditions on the iterative parameters. One of our contributions is that the convergence analysis and rate of convergence results are obtained using conditions which appear not complicated and restrictive as assumed in other previous related results in the literature. We then show that Fermat–Weber location problem and primal–dual three-operator splitting are special cases of fixed point problem of nonexpansive mapping and consequently obtain the convergence analysis of inertial iteration methods for Fermat–Weber location problem and primal–dual three-operator splitting in real Hilbert spaces. Some numerical implementations are drawn from primal–dual three-operator splitting to support the theoretical analysis
