Some generalized forward reflected backward methods for solving convex minimization problems
In this paper, we are concerned with the iterative approximation of solution to the unconstrained convex minimization problem in a real Hilbert space. Our first method is motivated by the recent advancement on the reflected backward method and the generalized reflected backward m...
