We investigate second order dynamical systems of the from

λ(t)B(x(t)) = 0, where Γ :

→

is an elliptic bounded self-adjoint linear operator defined on a real Hilbert space

,B :

→

is a cocoercive operator andψλ : [0, +∞) → (0, +∞) is a relaxation function depending on time. We prove via Lyapunov analysis that the generated trajectories weakly converge to a zero of the operatorB. This opens the gate towards approaching through a second order dynamical system the problem of determining zeros of the sum of a maximally monotone operator and a cocoercive one, which captures as particular case the minimization of the sum of a nonsmooth convex function with a smooth convex one. Finally, whenB is the gradient of a smooth convex function, we prove a rate of

(1/t) for the convergence of the function values along the ergodic trajectory to its minimum value.

Keywords: Dynamical systems; Lyapunov analysis; Monotone inclusions; Convex optimization problems; Continuous forward-backward method.

1.Introduction and preliminaries

Let

a real Hilbert space endowed with inner product 〈·, ·〉 and corresponding norm

The problem of approaching the minimization of a potential function

supposed to be convex and differentiable, has been considered by several authors see^3,7,8,11). These investigations addressed either the convergence of the generated trajectories to a critical point of f or the convergence of the function along the trajectories to its global minimum value. We recall in this context the heavy ball with friction dynamical system

which is a nonlinear oscillator with constant damping parameter γ > 0. When

= ℝ², this system describes the motion of a heavy ball that keeps rolling over the graph ...
