Reflected Iterative Method for Non-Monotone Equilibrium Problems with Applications to Nash-Cournot Equilibrium Models

Abstract

In this paper, we introduce a numerical iterative algorithm with a reflected step to solve the equilibrium problem, which involves non-monotone bifunctions, in real Hilbert spaces. We give weak convergence analysis when the bifunctions are convex and jointly weakly continuous alongside the associated Minty equilibrium problem with a solution. The assumptions in this paper are weaker than the pseudo-monotonicity Lipschitz-type continuity assumptions used recently on equilibrium problems in the literature. Numerical results on Nash-Cournot equilibrium models show that our algorithm is competitive and efficient.
