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.     

Products of resolvents and multivalued hybrid mappings in CAT(0) spaces

In this article, we introduce and investigate the concept of multivalued hybrid mappings in CAT(0) spaces by using the concept of quasilinearization. Also, we present a new iterative algorithm involving products of Moreau-Yosida resolvents for finding a common element of the set of minimizers of a finite family of convex functions and a common fixed point of two multivalued hybrid mappings in CAT(0) spaces.     

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.     

Hybrid pseudo-viscosity approximation schemes for systems of equilibrium problems and fixed point problems of infinite family and semigroup of non-expansive mappings

In this paper, we introduce hybrid pseudo-viscosity approximation schemes with strongly positive bounded linear operators for finding a common element of the set of solutions to a system of equilibrium problems, the set of fixed points of an infinite family and left amenable semigroup of non-expansive mappings in the frame work of Hilbert spaces. Our goal is to prove a result of strong convergence for hybrid pseudo-viscosity approximation schemes to approach a solution of systems of equilibrium problems which is also a common fixed point of an infinite family and left amenable semigroup of non-expansive mappings. The results presented in this paper can be treated as an extension and improvement of the corresponding results announced by Ceng et al. [L.C. Ceng, Q.H. Ansari, and J.C. Yao, Hybrid pseudo-viscosity approximation schemes for equilibrium problems and fixed point problems of infinitely many non-expansive mappings, Nonlinear Analysis 4 (2010) 743-754] and many others.     

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.     

An iterative method of solution for equilibrium and optimization problems

In this paper, we introduce an iterative scheme for finding a common element of the set of fixed points of a nonexpansive mapping, the set of solutions of the variational inequality for an inverse-strongly monotone mapping and the set of solutions of an equilibrium problem in a Hilbert space. We show that the iterative sequence converges strongly to a common element of the three sets. The results of this paper extended and improved the results of H. Iiduka and W. Takahashi [Strong convergence theorems for nonexpansive mappings and inverse-strongly monotone mappings, Nonlinear Anal. 61 (2005) 341–350] and S. Takahashi and W. Takahashi [Viscosity approximation methods for equilibrium problems and fixed point problems in Hilbert spaces, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 331 (2007) 506–515]. Therefore, by using the above result, an iterative algorithm for the solution of a optimization problem was obtained.     

New iterative scheme with nonexpansive mappings for equilibrium problems and variational inequality problems in Hilbert spaces

Recently, Ceng, Guu and Yao introduced an iterative scheme by viscosity-like approximation method to approximate the fixed point of nonexpansive mappings and solve some variational inequalities in Hilbert space (see Ceng et al. (2009) [9]). Takahashi and Takahashi proposed an iteration scheme to solve an equilibrium problem and approximate the fixed point of nonexpansive mapping by viscosity approximation method in Hilbert space (see Takahashi and Takahashi (2007) [12]). In this paper, we introduce an iterative scheme by viscosity approximation method for finding a common element of the set of a countable family of nonexpansive mappings and the set of an equilibrium problem in a Hilbert space. We prove the strong convergence of the proposed iteration to the unique solution of a variational inequality.     

Viscosity approximation methods for generalized equilibrium problems and fixed point problems with applications

In this paper, we introduce a general iterative scheme for finding a common element of the set of common solutions of generalized equilibrium problems, the set of common fixed points of a family of infinite non-expansive mappings. Strong convergence theorems are established in a real Hilbert space under suitable conditions. As some applications, we consider convex feasibility problems and equilibrium problems. The results presented improve and extend the corresponding results of many others.     

Fixed point for set-valued mappings satisfying an implicit relation in partially ordered metric spaces

Let (X,?) be a partially ordered set and d be a complete metric on X. Let F,G be two set-valued mappings on X. We obtained sufficient conditions for the existence of common fixed point of F and G satisfying an implicit relation in partially ordered set X.     

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.

The purpose of this paper is to introduce hybrid projection algorithms for finding a common element of the set of common fixed points of two quasi-?$?$-nonexpansive mappings and the set of solutions of an equilibrium problem in the framework of Banach spaces. Our results improve and extend the corresponding results announced by many others.     

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.     

Strong and weak convergence theorems for equilibrium problems and relatively nonexpansive mappings in Banach spaces

An implicit iterative scheme for monotone variational inequalities and fixed point problems

In this paper we introduce an implicit iterative scheme for finding a common element of the set of common fixed points of N$N$ nonexpansive mappings and the set of solutions of the variational inequality problem for a monotone, Lipschitz-continuous mapping. The implicit iterative scheme is based on two well-known methods: extragradient and approximate proximal. We obtain a weak convergence theorem for three sequences generated by this implicit iterative scheme. On the basis of this theorem, we also construct an implicit iterative process for finding a common fixed point of N+1$N+1$ mappings, such that one of these mappings is taken from the more general class of Lipschitz pseudocontractive mappings and the other N$N$ mappings are nonexpansive.     

Implicit iteration scheme with perturbed mapping for common fixed points of a finite family of nonexpansive mappings

In this paper we propose a new implicit iteration scheme with perturbed mapping for approximation of common fixed points of a finite family of nonexpansive mappings. We establish some convergence theorems for this implicit iteration scheme. In particular, necessary and sufficient conditions for strong convergence of this implicit iteration scheme were obtained.     

A general iterative method for addressing mixed equilibrium problems and optimization problems

In this paper, we introduce a new general iterative method for finding a common element of the set of solutions of a mixed equilibrium problem (MEP), the set of fixed points of an infinite family of nonexpansive mappings and the set of solutions of variational inequalities for a ξ-inverse-strongly monotone mapping in Hilbert spaces. Furthermore, we establish the strong convergence theorem for the iterative sequence generated by the proposed iterative algorithm under some suitable conditions, which solves some optimization problems. Our results extend and improve the recent results of Yao et al. [Y. Yao, M.A. Noor, S. Zainab, Y.C. Liou, Mixed equilibrium problems and optimization problems, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 354 (2009) 319-329; Y. Yao, M. A. Noor, Y.C. Liou, On iterative methods for equilibrium problems, Nonlinear Anal. 70 (1) (2009) 479-509] and many others.
