Rockafellar's celebrated theorem based on \(A\)-maximal monotonicity design (Q2483142)

The author extends a well-known result on the proximal point method for finding zeroes of maximal monotone operators [cf.\ \textit{R.\,T.\thinspace Rockafellar}, SIAM J.~Control Optimization 14, 877--898 (1976; Zbl 0358.90053)] to the general framework for \(A\)-maximal monotonicity (also referred to as the \(A\)-monotonicity framework in literature). The latter concept generalizes the theory of set-valued maximal monotone mappings, including the notion of \(H\)-maximal monotonicity (also referred to as \(H\)-monotonicity).
