The paper presents a fully adaptive algorithm for monotone variational inequalities. In each iteration the method uses two previous iterates for an approximation of the local Lipschitz constant without running a linesearch. Thus, every iteration of the method requires only one evaluation of a monotone operator F and a proximal mapping g. The operator F need not be Lipschitz continuous, which also makes the algorithm interesting in the area of composite minimization. The method exhibits an ergodic O(1/k) convergence rate and R-linear rate under an error bound condition. We discuss possible applications of the method to fixed point problems as well as its different generalizations.Keywords. variational inequality · first-order methods · linesearch · saddle point problem · composite minimization · fixed point problem MSC2010. 47J20, 65K10, 65K15, 65Y20, 90C33
