Linearly constrained convex optimization has many applications. The first-order optimal condition of the linearly constrained convex optimization is a monotone variational inequality (VI). For solving VI, the proximal point algorithm (PPA) in Euclidean-norm is classical but abstract. Hence, the classical PPAonly plays an important theoretical role and it is rarely used in the practical scientific computation. In this paper, we give a review on the recently developed customized PPA in H-norm (H is a positive definite matrix). In the frame of customized PPA, it is easy to construct the contraction-type methods for convex optimization with different linear constraints. In each iteration of the proposed methods, we need only to solve the proximal sub-problems which have the closed form solutions or can be efficiently solved up to a high precision. Some novel applications and numerical experiments are reported. Additionally, the original primal-dual hybrid gradient method is modified to a convergent algorithm by using a prediction-correction uniform framework. Using the variational inequality approach, the contractive convergence and convergence rate proofs of the framework are more general and quite simple.
