Abstract

In this paper, the first-order forward–backward–half forward dynamical systems associated with the inclusion problem consisting of three monotone operators are analyzed. The framework modifies the forward–backward–forward dynamical system by adding a cocoercive operator to the inclusion. The existence, uniqueness, and weak asymptotic convergence of the generated trajectories are discussed. A variable metric forward–backward–half forward dynamical system with the essence of non-self-adjoint linear operators is introduced. The proposed notion, in turn, extends the forward–backward–forward dynamical system and forward–backward dynamical system in the framework of variable metric by relaxing some conditions on the metrics. The distributed dynamical system is further explored to compute a generalized Nash equilibrium in a monotone game as an application. A numerical example is provided to illustrate the convergence of trajectories.
