1. Introduction
Let
C be a nonempty subset of a real Banach space
E with the norm
and the duality space
. We denote the value of
at
by
. For any nonlinear operator
, According to Stampacchia [
1], the variational inequality problem (VIP) is defined as follows:
We use
to represent the solution set of (
1). The study of VIP originates from solving a minimization problem involving infinite-dimensional functions and variational calculus. As an analytical application of mechanics to the solution of partial differential equations in infinite-dimensional spaces, Hartman and Stampacchia [
2] initiated the systematic study of VIP in 1964. In 1966, Stampacchia [
1] demonstrated the first VIP existence and uniqueness solution. In 1979, Smith [
3] originally used VIP to solve variational inequality problems in finite-dimensional spaces when he formulated the traffic assignment problem. He was unaware that his formulation was an exact variational inequality problem before Dafermos [
4] realized it in 1980 while working on traffic and equilibrium problems. Since then, a variety of VIP models have been used in real-world settings. These models have a rich theoretical mathematics, some intriguing crossovers between various fields, and several significant applications in engineering and economics. Furthermore, variational inequalities give us a tool for a wide range of issues in mathematical programming, such as nonlinear systems of equation, issues with optimization, and fixed point theorems. Numerous real-world “equilibrium” problems systematically employ variational inequalities (see [
5]).
There are a number of well-known techniques for resolving variational inequalities. The regularized method and the projection method are two prominent and general approaches to solving VIPs. Numerous methods have been considered and put forth to solve the VIP (
1) problem based on these directives. The extragradient method, which Korpelevich [
6] first proposed and which was later expanded upon due to the strong assumption of his result, uses two projections on the underlying feasible closed and convex set over each iteration. This can have an impact on the computational effectiveness of the method. There are ways to circumvent these problems. The first is the subgradient extragradient technique, Algorithm 1, first proposed by Censor et al. [
7]. This method substitutes a projection onto a particular constructible half-space for the second projection onto
C. They use the following approach:

where
. We are aware that several authors have studied iterative methods for solving variational inequality problems and fixed points of nonexpansive and quasinonexpansive mappings, as well as their generalizations, in real Hilbert spaces (see, for instance [
7,
8] and the references therein). Bregman [
9] developed methods using the Bregman distance function
in (
2) rather than the norm when constructing and investigating feasibility and optimization problems. This approach was used to navigate problems that arise when the useful illustrations of nonexpansive operators in Hilbert spaces
H, such as the metric projection
onto a nonempty, closed, and convex subset
C of
H, are no longer nonexpansive in Banach spaces. This led to the development of a growing body of research on approximating solutions to problems involving variational inequality, fixed points, and other issues (see, e.g., [
10,
11] and the references therein).
Recently, Ma et al. [
12] developed the following Algorithm 2, known as the modified subgradient extragradient method, for solving variational inequality and fixed point problems in the context of Banach space:

T is the nonexpansive mapping. It was proven that the sequence
generated by Algorithm 2 converges strongly to a point

, under some mild conditions, in 2-uniformly convex real Banach spaces. For more information on the common solution of VIP and fixed point problems in real Banach spaces, which is more general than Hilbert spaces, the reader may refer to any of the following recent papers: [
13,
14].
Motivated by the above results, this paper investigates the strong convergence of the inertial subgradient extragradient method for solving the pseudomonotone variational inequality problem and the fixed point problem of quasi-Bregman nonexpansive mapping in p-uniformly convex and uniformly smooth real spaces. We demonstrate that, under a number of suitable conditions placed on the parameters, the suggested method strongly converges to a point in . Finally, we offer a few numerical experiments that support our main finding in comparison to previous published papers.
2. Preliminaries

E is referred to as being
q-uniformly smooth. As a result, each and every
q-uniformly smooth space is uniformly smooth. If and only if the dual,

f, and is well known and nondecreasing. The following lemma, which is widely known, if
f is uniformly convex, is crucial for the verification of our main result.

The three-point identity, a crucial property of the Bregman distance, is defined as:
Due to the lack of symmetry, the Bregman distance is not a metric in the traditional sense, but it does possess some distance-like characteristics. If
E is a
p-uniformly convex space, then the Bregman distance function
and the metric function satisfy the relation shown below (see [
20]), which proves to be extremely helpful in the demonstration of our result: let

C a nonempty, closed, and convex subset of
E. The
Bregman projection operator in the sense of Bregman [
9] is
defined by
The Bregman projection is described in the following way [
21]:
With respect to Bregman function

The Bregman projection in terms of

9), as the Bregman projection.

We also need the nonlinear operators, which are introduced below.
If C is a nonempty subset of E, a Banach space, and is a mapping, then T is nonexpansive, if for all , and T is said to be quasi-nonexpansive if and for all and , where denotes the set of fixed point of T. An element q in C is asymptotic fixed point of T, if for any sequence in C, converges weakly to q such that . We describe the set set of asymptotic fixed point of T by .

The well known demiclosedness principle plays an important role in our main result.
Definition 2. Assume that C is a nonempty, closed, convex subset of a uniformly convex Banach space E and that is a nonlinear mapping. Then, T is called demiclosed at 0; if is a sequence in C such that and , then .
Next, we outline a few ideas about the monotonicity of an operator.

For the purpose of solving pseudomonotone variational inequality and fixed point problems, in this section, we formulate Algorithm 3, combining a modified inertial Mann-type method with a subgradient extragradient algorithm. For the convergence of the method, we require the following conditions:
Assumption 1. - (C1)
E is a -uniformly convex real Banach space which is also uniformly smooth and C is a nonempty, closed, and convex subset of E.
- (C2)

Remark 1. The following are considered:
- (a)
Theorem 1 improves, extends, and generalizes the corresponding results [12,13,30,31,32,33] in the sense that either our method requires an inertial term to improve the convergence rate and/or the space considered is more general. - (b)
We observe that the result in Corollary 1 improves, and extends the results in [7,34,35,36] from Hilbert space to a p-uniformly convex and uniformly smooth real Banach space as well as from solving the monotone variational inequality problem to the pseudomonotone variational inequality problem. - (c)
Corollary 3 improves, and extends the corresponding results of Wei et al. [37], Ibaraki [38], and Tianchai [39] in the sense that our iterative method does not require computation of for each or the class of mappings considered in our corollary is more general and inertial in our method, which aids in increasing the convergence rate of the sequence generated by the method.
