A new method for solving equilibrium problem fixed point problem and variational inequality problem with application to optimization

In this paper, we introduce a new iterative scheme for finding a common element of the set of solutions of an equilibrium problem, the set of common fixed point for a family of infinitely nonexpansive mappings and the set of solutions of the variational inequality for α$\alpha$-inverse-strongly monotone mappings in a Hilbert space. Under suitable conditions, some strong convergence theorems for approximating a common element of the above three sets are obtained. As applications, at the end of the paper we utilize our results to study the optimization problem and some convergence problem for strictly pseudocontractive mappings. The results presented in the paper extend and improve some recent results of Yao and Yao [Y.Y. Yao, J.C. Yao, On modified iterative method for nonexpansive mappings and monotone mappings, Appl. Math. Comput. 186 (2) (2007) 1551–1558], Plubtieng and Punpaeng [S. Plubtieng, R.

Approximation of common fixed points for a countable family of relatively nonexpansive mappings in a Banach space and applications

In this paper, we prove a strong convergence theorem by the hybrid method for a countable family of relatively nonexpansive mappings in a Banach space. We also establish a new control condition for the sequence of mappings {T_n} which is weaker than the control condition in Lemma 3.1 of Aoyama et al. [K. Aoyama, Y. Kimura, W. Takahashi and M. Toyoda, Approximation of common fixed points of a countable family of nonexpansive mappings in a Banach space, Nonlinear Anal. 67 (2007) 2350-2360]. Moreover, we apply our results for finding a common fixed point of two relatively nonexpansive mappings in a Banach space and an element of the set of solutions of an equilibrium problem in a Banach space, respectively. Our results are applicable to a wide class of mappings.     

A hybrid scheme for finite families of equilibrium, variational inequality and fixed point problems

We introduce an iterative process for finding an element in the common fixed point set of finite family of closed relatively quasi-nonexpansive mappings, common solutions of finite family of equilibrium problems and common solutions of finite family of variational inequality problems for monotone mappings in Banach spaces. Our theorem extends and unifies most of the results that have been proved for this important class of nonlinear operators.

Fixed point solutions of generalized equilibrium problems for nonexpansive mappings

In this paper, we introduce an iterative scheme for finding a common element of the set of fixed points of a nonexpansive mapping and the set of solutions of a generalized equilibrium problem in a real Hilbert space. Then, strong convergence of the scheme to a common element of the two sets is proved. As an application, problem of finding a common element of the set of fixed points of a nonexpansive mapping and the set of solutions of an equilibrium problem is solved. Moreover, solution is given to the problem of finding a common element of fixed points set of nonexpansive mappings and the set of solutions of a variational inequality problem.     

Modified block iterative method for solving convex feasibility problem,equilibrium problems and variational inequality problems

The purpose of this paper is by using the modified block iterative method to propose an algorithm for finding a common element in the intersection of the set of common fixed points of an infinite family of quasi-φ-asymptotically nonexpansive and the set of solutions to an equilibrium problem and the set of solutions to a variational inequality. Under suitable conditions some strong convergence theorems are established in 2-uniformly convex and uniformly smooth Banach spaces. As applications we utilize the results presented in the paper to solving the convex feasibility problem (CFP) and zero point problem of maximal monotone mappings in Banach spaces. The results presented in the paper improve and extend the corresponding results announced by many authors.     

A hybrid iterative scheme for mixed equilibrium problems and fixed point problems

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the problem of finding a common element of the set of solutions of a mixed equilibrium problem (MEP) and the set of common fixed points of finitely many nonexpansive mappings in a real Hilbert space. First, by using the well-known KKM technique we derive the existence and uniqueness of solutions of the auxiliary problems for the MEP. Second, by virtue of this result we introduce a hybrid iterative scheme for finding a common element of the set of solutions of MEP and the set of common fixed points of finitely many nonexpansive mappings. Furthermore, we prove that the sequences generated by the hybrid iterative scheme converge strongly to a common element of the set of solutions of MEP and the set of common fixed points of finitely many nonexpansive mappings.

Strong convergence theorems are presented in a 2-uniformly convex and uniformly smooth Banach space. Our results generalize and extend relative results.     

Existence theorems and iterative approximation methods for generalized mixed equilibrium problems for a countable family of nonexpansive mappings

In this paper, we introduce the new generalized mixed equilibrium problem basing on hemicontinuous and relaxed monotonic mapping.

Furthermore, we also introduce a hybrid projection algorithm for finding a common element in the solution set of a generalized mixed equilibrium problem and the common fixed point set of a countable family of nonexpansive mappings. The strong convergence theorem of the proposed sequence is obtained in a Banach space setting. The main results extend various results existing in the current literature.

Strong convergence for maximal monotone operators, relatively quasi-nonexpansive mappings, variational inequalities and equilibrium problems

In this paper, we introduce a new hybrid iterative scheme for finding a common element of the set of zeroes of a maximal monotone operator, the set of fixed points of a relatively quasi-nonexpansive mapping, the sets of solutions of an equilibrium problem and the variational inequality problem in Banach spaces. As applications, we apply our results to obtain strong convergence theorems for a maximal monotone operator and quasi-nonexpansive mappings in Hilbert spaces and we consider a problem of finding a minimizer of a convex function.     

A hybrid extragradient method for solving pseudomonotone equilibrium problems using Bregman distance

In this paper, using a hybrid extragradient method, we introduce a new iterative process for approximating a common element of the set of solutions of equilibrium problems involving pseudomonotone bifunctions and the set of common fixed points of a finite family of multi-valued Bregman relatively nonexpansive mappings in the setting of reflexive Banach spaces. For this purpose, we introduce Bregman–Lipschitz-type condition for a pseudomonotone bifunction. It seems that these results for pseudomonotone bifunctions are first in reflexive Banach spaces. This paper concludes with certain applications, where we utilize our results to study the determination of a common point of the solution set of a variational inequality problem and the fixed point set of a finite family of multi-valued relatively nonexpansive mappings. A numerical example to support our main theorem will be exhibited.     

Implicit iterative algorithms for asymptotically nonexpansive mappings in the intermediate sense and Lipschitz-continuous monotone mappings

In this paper, we introduce some implicit iterative algorithms for finding a common element of the set of fixed points of an asymptotically nonexpansive mapping in the intermediate sense and the set of solutions of the variational inequality problem for a monotone, Lipschitz-continuous mapping. These implicit iterative algorithms are based on two well-known methods: extragradient and approximate proximal methods. We obtain some weak convergence theorems for these implicit iterative algorithms. Based on these theorems, we also construct some implicit iterative processes for finding a common fixed point of two mappings, such that one of these two mappings is taken from the more general class of Lipschitz pseudocontractive mappings and the other mapping is asymptotically nonexpansive.

The results presented in the paper improve and extend some recent results.
