Abstract

We give in this paper a convergence result concerning parallel asynchronous algorithm with bounded delays to solve a nonlinear fixed point problems. This result is applied to calculate the solution of a strongly monotone operator. Special cases of these operators are used to solve some problems related to convex analysis like minimization of functionals, calculus of saddle point and variational inequality problem.
