The proximal point algorithm has known these last years many developme
nts connected wish the expansion of the variational convergence theory
. Motivated by this fact and inspired by the work of A. Tikhonov and V
. Arsenine in the context of convex optimization, we present a new alg
orithm for searching a zero of a maximal monotone operator on a real H
ilbert space. We study the perturbed version of this algorithm and est
ablish a critical comparison with the perturbed proximal point algorit
hm. We apply this new algorithm to convex optimization and to variatio
nal inclusions or, more particularly, to variational inequalities.
