Abstract
In this paper, we firstly introduce two projection and contraction methods for finding common solutions to variational inequality problems involving monotone and Lipschitz continuous operators in Hilbert spaces. Then, by modifying the two methods, we propose two hybrid projection and contraction methods. Both weak and strong convergence are investigated under standard assumptions imposed on the operators. Also, we generalize some methods to show the existence of solutions for a system of generalized equilibrium problems. Finally, some preliminary experiments are presented to illustrate the advantage of the proposed methods.
