Abstract

In this paper we suggest new dual methods for solving variational inequalities with monotone operators. We show that with an appropriate step-size strategy, our method is optimal both for Lipschitz continuous operators ($$O({1 \over \epsilon})$$ iterations), and for the operators with bounded variations ($$O({1 \over \epsilon^2})$$ iterations). Our technique can be applied for solving non-smooth convex minimization problems with known structure. In this case the worst-case complexity bound is $$O({1 \over \epsilon})$$ iterations.
