In this paper, we study inclusion problems where the involved operators may not be monotone in the classical sense. Specifically, we assume the operators to be generalized monotone, a weaker notion than classical monotonicity. This allows…

We introduce an inertial quasi-Newton Forward-Backward Splitting Algorithm to solve a class of monotone inclusion problems. While the inertial step is computationally cheap, in general, the bottleneck is the evaluation of the resolvent…
