ABSTRACT In this paper, we present a forward-backward-half forward splitting algorithm with deviations for solving the structured monotone inclusion problem composed of a maximally monotone operator, a maximally monotone and Lipschitz continuous operator and a cocoercive operator. The weak and linear convergence of the proposed algorithms is established. The aim of introducing deviations is to improve the performance of the forward-backward-half forward splitting algorithm through suitable choices of the deviations. A numerical example is given to show that the two-step inertial variant of the forward-backward-half forward splitting algorithms with deviations outperforms the existing methods in Briceño-Arias and Davis [Forward-backward-half forward algorithm for solving monotone inclusions, SIAM J Optimiz, 2017;28(4):2839–2871. doi: 10.1137/17M1120099], Zong et al.
