Convergence of iterative algorithms for multivalued mappings in Banach spaces

We show strong and weak convergence for Mann iteration of multivalued nonexpansive mappings T$T$ in a Banach space. Furthermore, we give a strong convergence of the modified Mann iteration which is independent of the convergence of the implicit anchor-like continuous path _zt∈tu+(1−t)T_zt$z_t\in tu+(1-t)T{z}_t$.     

A fixed point theorem for pointwise eventually nonexpansive mappings in nearly uniformly convex Banach spaces

The purpose of this paper is to prove the existence of a fixed point for a pointwise eventually nonexpansive mapping in a nearly uniformly convex Banach space. This provides an affirmative answer to a question given by Kirk and Xu [W.A. Kirk, Hong-Kun Xu, Asymptotic pointwise contraction, Nonlinear Anal. 69 (2008), 4706-4712].     

Strong convergence of composite iterative schemes for a countable family of nonexpansive mappings in Banach spaces

In this paper we propose a new modified viscosity approximation method for approximating common fixed points for a countable family of nonexpansive mappings in a Banach space. We prove strong convergence theorems for a countable family nonexpansive mappings in a reflexive Banach space with uniformly Gateaux differentiable norm under some control conditions. These results improve and extend the results of Jong Soo Jung [J.S. Jung, Convergence on composite iterative schemes for nonexpansive mappings in Banach spaces, Fixed Point Theory and Appl. 2008 (2008) 14 pp., Article ID 167535]. Further, we apply our result to the problem of finding a zero of an accretive operator and extend the results of Kim and Xu [T.H. Kim, H.K. Xu, Strong convergence of modified Mann iterations, Nonlinear Anal. 61 (2005) 51-60], Ceng, et al. [L.-C. Ceng, A.R. Khan, Q.H. Ansari, J.-C, Yao, Strong convergence of composite iterative schemes for zeros of m-accretive operators in Banach space, Nonlinear Anal. 70 (2009)1830-1840] and Chen and Zhu [R. Chen, Z. Zhu, Viscosity approximation methods for accretive operator in Banach space, Nonlinear Anal. 69 (2008) 1356-1363].     

Noncyclic mappings and best proximity pair results in Hilbert and uniformly convex Banach spaces

A new class of noncyclic mappings, called generalized noncyclic relatively nonexpansive, is introduced and used to study the existence of best proximity pairs in the setting of uniformly convex Banach spaces. We also obtain a weak convergence theorem for noncyclic relatively nonexpansive mappings in the setting of Hilbert spaces.     

Convergence theorems for fixed points of uniformly quasi-Lipschitzian mappings in convex metric spaces

In this paper, we consider an Ishikawa type iteration process with errors to approximate the fixed point of two uniformly quasi-Lipschitzian mappings in convex metric spaces. Some results have been obtained which generalize and unify many important known results in recent literature.     

Approximation of solutions of Hammerstein equations with bounded strongly accretive nonlinear operators

Suppose X$X$ is a real q$q$-uniformly smooth Banach space and F,K:X→X$F,K:X\to X$ are bounded strongly accretive maps with D(K)=F(X)=X$D\left(K\right)=F\left(X\right)=X$. Let u^∗$u^{\ast }$ denote the unique solution of the Hammerstein equation u+KFu=0$u+KFu=0$. A new explicit coupled iteration process is shown to converge strongly to u^∗$u^{\ast }$. No invertibility assumption is imposed on K$K$ and the operators K$K$ and F$F$ need not be defined on compact subsets of X$X$. Furthermore, our new technique of proof is of independent interest. Finally, some interesting open questions are included.     

Viscosity approximation methods for resolvents of accretive operators in Banach spaces

In this paper, we first prove a strong convergence theorem for resolvents of accretive operators in a Banach space by the viscosity approximation method, which is a generalization of the results of Reich [J. Math. Anal. Appl. 75 (1980), 287–292], and Takahashi and Ueda [J. Math. Anal. Appl. 104 (1984), 546–553]. Further using this result, we consider the proximal point algorithm in a Banach space by the viscosity approximation method, and obtain a strong convergence theorem which is a generalization of the result of Kamimura and Takahashi [Set-Valued Anal. 8 (2000), 361–374]. Dedicated to the memory of Jean Leray

In this paper, we introduce a composite iterative scheme by viscosity approximation method for finding a zero of an accretive operator in Banach spaces. Then, we establish strong convergence theorems for the composite iterative scheme. The main theorems improve and generalize the recent corresponding results of Kim and Xu [T.H. Kim, H.K. Xu, Strong convergence of modified Mann iterations, Nonlinear Anal. 61 (2005) 51-60], Qin and Su [X. Qin, Y. Su, Approximation of a zero point of accretive operator in Banach spaces, J. Math. Anal.

Implicit iteration process for a finite family of asymptotically hemi-contractive mappings in Banach spaces

The purpose of this paper is to study the strong convergence of a process of implicit iteration to a common fixed point for a finite family of asymptotically hemi-contractive mappings. Our results extend a recent result of M.O. Osilike and B.G. Akuchu [Common fixed points of a finite family of asymptotically pseudocontractive maps, Fixed Point Theory Appl. 2 (2004) 81–88] from Hilbert spaces to p$p$-uniformly convex Banach spaces with p>1$p>1$.     

A general iterative algorithm for nonexpansive mappings in Hilbert spaces

Let H be a real Hilbert space. Suppose that T is a nonexpansive mapping on H with a fixed point, f is a contraction on H with coefficient 0<α<1, and F:H→H is a k-Lipschitzian and η-strongly monotone operator with k>0,η>0. Let . We proved that the sequence {x_n} generated by the iterative method x_n+1=α_nγf(x_n)+(I−μα_nF)Tx_n converges strongly to a fixed point , which solves the variational inequality , for x∈F_ix(T).     

Lipschitz constants for iterates of mean lipschitzian mappings

We present a sharp evaluation of the Lipschitz constant for every iterate for mean lipschitzian mappings, solving a problem posed by K. Goebel and M. A. Japón Pineda.     

The viscosity approximation method for asymptotically nonexpansive mappings in Banach spaces

A recent trend in the iterative methods for constructing fixed points of nonlinear mappings is to use the viscosity approximation technique. The advantage of this technique is that one can find a particular solution to the associated problems, and in most cases this particular solution solves some variational inequality. In this paper, we try to extend this technique to find a particular common fixed point of a finite family of asymptotically nonexpansive mappings in a Banach space which is reflexive and has a weakly continuous duality map. Both implicit and explicit viscosity approximation schemes are proposed and their strong convergence to a solution to a variational inequality is proved.     

Fixed points of uniformly lipschitzian mappings

Two fixed point theorems for uniformly lipschitzian mappings in metric spaces, due respectively to E. Lifšic and to T.-C. Lim and H.-K. Xu, are compared within the framework of the so-called CAT(0) spaces. It is shown that both results apply in this setting, and that Lifšic’s theorem gives a sharper result. Also, a new property is introduced that yields a fixed point theorem for uniformly lipschitzian mappings in a class of hyperconvex spaces, a class which includes those possessing property (P)$\left(P\right)$ of Lim and Xu.     

Convergence of a general iterative method for nonexpansive mappings in Hilbert spaces

In this paper, we introduce a modified Ishikawa iterative process for approximating a fixed point of nonexpansive mappings in Hilbert spaces. We establish some strong convergence theorems of the general iteration scheme under some mild conditions. The results improve and extend the corresponding results of many others.     

Some results for a finite family of uniformly L-Lipschitzian mappings in Banach spaces

The purpose of this paper is to prove a strong convergence theorem for a finite family of uniformly L-Lipschitzian mappings in Banach spaces. The results presented in the paper improve and extend some recent results in Chang [1], Cho et al. [2] Ofoedu [5], Schu [7] and Zeng [8, 9].

Strong convergence theorems for an infinite family of nonexpansive mappings in Banach spaces

In an infinite-dimensional Hilbert space, the normal Mann’s iteration algorithm has only weak convergence, in general, even for nonexpansive mappings. In order to get a strong convergence result, we modify the normal Mann’s iterative process for an infinite family of nonexpansive mappings in the framework of Banach spaces. Our results improve and extend the recent results announced by many others.     

Remarks on the structure of the fixed-point sets of uniformly lipschitzian mappings in uniformly convex Banach spaces

It is shown, by asymptotic center techniques, that the set of fixed points of any uniformly k-lipschitzian mapping in a uniformly convex Banach space is a retract of the domain when k is less than a constant bigger than the constant from the paper [K. Goebel, W.A. Kirk, A fixed point theorem for transformations whose iterates have uniform Lipschitz constant, Studia Math. 47 (1973) 135-140]. Our result improves a recently result presented in [E. S?d?ak, A. Wi?nicki, On the structure of fixed-point sets of uniformly lipschitzian mappings, Topol. Methods Nonlinear Anal. 30 (2007) 345-350].
