In this paper, iterative algorithm for strong vector equilibrium problem (SVEP) is studied. Firstly, an auxiliary problem for SVEP is introduced and the relationships between these two problems are discussed. Then, based on the auxiliary problem, a projection iterative algorithm for SVEP is proposed. Moreover, analysis of convergence of this iterative algorithm is investigated under suitable conditions of continuity and convexity. The main result obtained in this paper generalizes and improves the corresponding ones of Iusem and Sosa [Iusem AN, Sosa W. Iterative algorithms for equilibrium problems. Optimization. 2003;52(3):301–316.] and Cheng and Liu [Cheng B, Liu SY. An iterative algorithm for vector equilibrium problems. J. Lanzhou Univ. (Nat. Sci.). 2009;45(5):105–109.].

This paper points out some fatal errors in the equivalent formulations used in Noor 2011 [Noor MA. Projection iterative methods for solving some systems of general nonconvex variational inequalities. Applied Analysis. 2011;90:777–786] and consequently in Noor 2009 [Noor MA. System of nonconvex variational inequalities. Journal of Advanced Research Optimization. 2009;1:1–10], Noor 2010 [Noor MA, Noor KI. New system of general nonconvex variational inequalities. Applied Mathematics E-Notes. 2010;10:76–85] and Wen 2010 [Wen DJ. Projection methods for a generalized system of nonconvex variational inequalities with different nonlinear operators. Nonlinear Analysis. 2010;73:2292–2297]. Since these equivalent formulations are the main tools to suggest iterative algorithms and to establish the convergence results, the algorithms and results in the aforementioned articles are not valid. It is shown by given some examples. To overcome with the problems in these papers, we consider a new system of extended regularized nonconvex variational inequalities, and establish the existence and uniqueness result for a solution of the aforesaid system. We suggest and analyse a new projection iterative algorithm to compute the unique solution of the system of extended regularized nonconvex variational inequalities which is also a fixed point of a nearly uniformly Lipschitzian mapping. Furthermore, the convergence analysis of the proposed iterative algorithm under some suitable conditions is studied. As a consequence, we point out that one can derive the correct version of the algorithms and results presented in the above mentioned papers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
