We consider the regularization of two proximal point algorithms (PPA)with errors for a maximalmonotone operator in a real Hilbert space, previously studied, respectively, by Xu, and by Boikanyo and Morosanu, where they assumed the zero set of the operator to be nonempty. We provide a counterexample showing an error in Xu’s theorem, and then we prove its correct extended version by giving a necessary and sufficient condition for the zero set of the operator to be nonempty and showing the strong convergence of the regularized scheme to a zero of the operator. This will give a first affirmative answer to the open question raised by Boikanyo and Morosanu concerning the design of a PPA, where the error sequence tends to zero and a parameter sequence remains bounded. Then, we investigate the second PPA with various new conditions on the parameter sequences and prove similar theorems as above, providing also a second affirmative answer to the open question of Boikanyo and Morosanu. Finally, we present some applications of our new convergence results to optimization and variational inequalities.
