This manuscript aims to incorporate an inertial scheme with Popov’s subgradient extragradient method to solve equilibrium problems that involve two different classes of bifunction. The novelty of our paper is that methods can also be used to solve problems in many fields, such as economics, mathematical finance, image reconstruction, transport, elasticity, networking, and optimization. We have established a weak convergence result based on the assumption of the pseudomonotone property and a certain Lipschitz-type cost bifunctional condition. The stepsize, in this case, depends upon on the Lipschitz-type constants and the extrapolation factor. The bifunction is strongly pseudomonotone in the second method, but stepsize does not depend on the strongly pseudomonotone and Lipschitz-type constants. In contrast, the first convergence result, we set up strong convergence with the use of a variable stepsize sequence, which is decreasing and non-summable. As the application, the variational inequality problems that involve pseudomonotone and strongly pseudomonotone operator are considered. Finally, two well-known Nash–Cournot equilibrium models for the numerical experiment are reviewed to examine our convergence results and show the competitive advantage of our suggested methods.
