There is a wide range of iterative methods in infinite dimensional spaces to treat variational equations or variational inequalities. As a rule, computational handling of problems in infinite dimensional spaces requires some discretization. Any useful discretization of the original problem leads to families of problems over finite dimensional spaces. Thus, two infinite techniques, namely discretization and iteration are embedded into each other. In the present paper, the behaviour of truncated iterative methods is studied, where at each discretization level only a finite number of steps is performed. In our study no accuracy dependent a posteriori stopping criterion is used. From an algorithmic point of view, the considered methods are of iteration–discretization type. The major aim here is to provide the convergence analysis for the introduced abstract iteration–discretization methods. A special emphasis is given on algorithms for the treatment of variational inequalities with strongly monotone operators over fixed point sets of quasi-nonexpansive mappings.
