Inertial Halpern-type methods for variational inequality with application to medical image recovery

Abstract

In this paper, we propose inertial Halpern-type algorithms involving a quasi-monotone operator for approximating solutions of variational inequality problems which are fixed points of quasi-nonexpansive mappings in reflexive Banach spaces. We use Bregman distance functions to enhance the efficiency of our algorithms and obtain strong convergence results, even in cases where the Lipschitz constant of the operator involved is unknown a priori. Furthermore, we illustrate the practical applicability of our methods through numerical experiments. Notably, our algorithms excel when compared to recent techniques in the literature. Of particular significance is their successful application in restoring computed tomography medical images that have been affected by motion blur and random noise. Our algorithms consistently outperform established state-of-the-art methods in all conducted experiments, showcasing their competitiveness and potential to advance variational inequality problem-solving, especially in the field of medical image recovery.
