Abstract:

In this paper, we propose an inexact proximal point method to solve equilibrium problems using proximal distances and the diagonal subdifferential. Under some natural assumptions on the problem and the quasimonotonicity condition on the bifunction, we prove that the sequence generated by the method converges to a solution point of the problem.
