Abstract
We extend the concept of the proximal mapping of a real valued function on a convex set to the one of a multi-valued operator, and study its fixed point properties. We show that the extended proximal mapping possesses certain contraction (resp., nonexpansiveness, approximate nonexpansiveness) properties when the multi-valued operator involved is strongly monotone (resp., cocoercive, monotone). Applications to multi-valued variational inequality and equilibrium problems are discussed.
