Abstract : The aim of this paper is to investigate the asymptotic behavior of an inertial alternating algorithm based on the composition of resolvents of monotone operators. The proposed algorithm is a generalization of those proposed in Attouch et al. (2007) and Bauschke et al. (2005). As a special case, we also recover the classical alternating minimization algorithm (Acker, 1980), which itself is a natural extension of the alternating projection algorithm of von Neumann (1950) [4]. An application to equilibrium problems is also proposed.
