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/e)iterations), and for the operators with bounded variations(0 (1/e2))....

In this paper we propose a new approach for constructing efficient schemes for nonsmooth convex optimization. It is based on a special smoothing technique, which can be applied to the functions with explicit max-structure. Our approach can be considered as an alternative to black-box...
