In this paper we are focused on solving monotone and Lipschitz continuous variational inequalities in real Hilbert spaces. Motivated by several recent results related to the subgradient extragradient method (SEM), we propose two SEM extensions which do not require the knowledge of the Lipschitz constant associated with the variational inequality operator. Under mild and standard conditions, we establish the strong convergence of our schemes. Primary numerical examples demonstrate the potential of our algorithms as well as compare their performances to several related results.
