Strong convergence theorems for two countable families of weak relatively nonexpansive mappings and applications

The purpose of this article is to prove strong convergence theorems for common fixed points of two countable families of weak relatively nonexpansive mappings in Banach spaces. In order to get the strong convergence theorems, the monotone hybrid algorithms are presented and are used to approximate the common fixed points. Using this result, we also discuss the problem of strong convergence concerning the maximal monotone operators in a Banach space. The results of this article modify and improve the results of Matsushita and Takahashi [S. Matsushita, W. Takahashi, A strong convergence theorem for relatively nonexpansive mappings in a Banach space, J. Approx. Theory 134 (2005) 257-266] and the results of Plubtieng and Ungchittrakool [S. Plubtieng, K.

Rate of weak convergence of the finite element method for the stochastic heat equation with additive noise

The stochastic heat equation driven by additive noise is discretized in the spatial variables by a standard finite element method. The weak convergence of the approximate solution is investigated and the rate of weak convergence is found to be twice that of strong convergence. M. Kovács and S.

Strong convergence theorems for a common fixed point of two hemi-relatively nonexpansive mappings

The purpose of this article is to prove strong convergence theorems for common fixed points of two closed hemi-relatively nonexpansive mappings in Banach spaces. In order to get the strong convergence theorems, the monotone hybrid algorithms are presented and are used to approximate the common fixed points. Finally, a new simplified hybrid algorithm has been proposed and relative convergence theorem has been proved by using the new method for proofs. The results of this article modify and improve the results of Matsushita, Takahashi [S. Matsushita, W. Takahashi, A strong convergence theorem for relatively nonexpansive mappings in a Banach space, J. Approx. Theory 134 (2005) 257–266] and the results of Plubtieng, Ungchittrakool [S. Plubtieng, K.

Asymptotic regularity conditions for the strong convergence towards weak limit sets and weak attractors of the 3D Navier-Stokes equations

The asymptotic behavior of solutions of the three-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations is considered on bounded smooth domains with no-slip boundary conditions and on periodic domains. Asymptotic regularity conditions are presented to ensure that the convergence of a Leray-Hopf weak solution to its weak ω-limit set (weak in the sense of the weak topology of the space H of square-integrable divergence-free velocity fields with the appropriate boundary conditions) are achieved also in the strong topology. It is proved that the weak ω-limit set is strongly compact and strongly attracts the corresponding solution if and only if all the solutions in the weak ω-limit set are continuous in the strong topology of H. Corresponding results for the strong convergence towards the weak global attractor of Foias and Temam are also presented. In this case, it is proved that the weak global attractor is strongly compact and strongly attracts the weak solutions, uniformly with respect to uniformly bounded sets of weak solutions, if and only if all the global weak solutions in the weak global attractor are strongly continuous in H.     

Unsymmetric meshless methods for operator equations

A general framework for proving error bounds and convergence of a large class of unsymmetric meshless numerical methods for solving well-posed linear operator equations is presented. The results provide optimal convergence rates, if the test and trial spaces satisfy a stability condition. Operators need not be elliptic, and the problems can be posed in weak or strong form without changing the theory. Non-stationary kernel-based trial and test spaces are shown to fit into the framework, disregarding the operator equation. As a special case, unsymmetric meshless kernel-based methods solving weakly posed problems with distributional data are treated in some detail. This provides a foundation of certain variations of the “Meshless Local Petrov-Galerkin” technique of S.N. Atluri and collaborators.     

On equivalence of strong and weak convergence inL 1-spaces under extreme point conditions

Under suitable extreme point conditions weak convergence can imply strong convergence inL ₁-spaces [28, 31, 12, 26] Here a number of such results are generalized by means of a unifying, very general approach using Young measures. The required results from Young measure theory are derived in a new fashion, based on pointwise averages [6], from well-known results on weak convergence of probability measures.

A proper generalized decomposition approach for optical flow estimation

This paper introduces the use of the proper generalized decomposition (PGD) method for the optical flow (OF) problem in a classical framework of Sobolev spaces, ie, optical flow methods including a robust energy for the data fidelity term together with a quadratic penalizer for the regularization term. A mathematical study of PGD methods is first presented for general regularization problems in the framework of (Hilbert) Sobolev spaces, and their convergence is then illustrated on OF computation. The convergence study is divided in two parts: (a) the weak convergence based on the Brézis-Lieb decomposition and (b) the strong convergence based on a growth result on the sequence of descent directions. A practical PGD-based OF implementation is then proposed and evaluated on freely available OF data sets. The proposed PGD-based OF approach outperforms the corresponding non-PGD implementation in terms of both accuracy and computation time for images containing a weak level of information, namely, low image resolution and/or low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR).     

On the convergence of implicit iteration process with error for a finite family of asymptotically nonexpansive mappings

An iterative scheme for equilibrium problems and fixed point problems of strict pseudo-contraction mappings

In this paper, we propose an iterative scheme for finding a common element of the set of solutions of an equilibrium problem and the set of fixed points of a strict pseudo-contraction mapping in the setting of real Hilbert spaces. We establish some weak and strong convergence theorems of the sequences generated by our proposed scheme. Our results combine the ideas of Marino and Xu’s result [G. Marino, H.K. Xu, Weak and strong convergence theorems for strict pseudo-contractions in Hilbert spaces, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 329 (2007) 336–346], and Takahashi and Takahashi’s result [S. Takahashi, W. Takahashi, Viscosity approximation methods for equilibrium problems and fixed point problems in Hilbert spaces, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 331 (2007) 506–515]. In particular, necessary and sufficient conditions for strong convergence of our iterative scheme are obtained.     

On the numerical analysis of finite element and dirichlet-to-neumann methods for nonlinear exterior transmission problems

We provide the numerical analysis of the combination of finite elements and Dirichlet-to-Neumann mappings (based on boundary integral operators) for a class of nonlinear exterior transmission problems whose weak formulations reduce to Lipschitz-continuous and strongly monotone operator equations. As a model we consider a nonlinear second order elliptic equation in divergence form in a bounded inner region of the plane, coupled with the Laplace equation in the corresponding unbounded exterior part. A discrete Galerkin scheme is presented by using linear finite elements on a triangulation of the domain, and then applying numerical quadrature and analytical formulae to evaluate all the linear, bilinear and semilinear forms involved. We prove the unique solvability of the discrete equations, and show the strong convergence of the approximate solutions. Furthermore, assuming additional regularity on the solution of the continuous operator equation, the asymptotic rate of convergence O(h) is also derived. Finally, numerical experiments are presented, which confirm the convergence results.     

Proximal point algorithm for infinite pseudo-monotone bifunctions

In this paper, first we study the weak convergence of the proximal point algorithm for an infinite family of equilibrium problems of pseudo-monotone type in Hilbert spaces. Then with additional conditions on the bifunctions, we prove the strong convergence for the family to a common equilibrium point. We also study a regularization of Halpern type and prove the strong convergence of the generated sequence to an equilibrium point of the family of infinite pseudo-monotone bifunctions without any additional assumptions on the bifunctions. A concrete example of a family of pseudo-monotone bifunctions is also presented.     

On the H-property of functionals in Sobolev spaces

In this paper, we consider special classes of strongly convex functionals in Sobolev spaces. It is proved that functionals from such classes have the so-called H-property: weak convergence of sequences of arguments and convergence of such sequences with respect to a given functional imply strong convergence.Translated from Matematicheskie Zametki, vol. 77, no. 3, 2005, pp. 378–394.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2005 by A.

Weak convergence theorems for a countable family of Lipschitzian mappings

This paper is concerned with convergence of an approximating common fixed point sequence of countable Lipschitzian mappings in a uniformly convex Banach space. We also establish weak convergence theorems for finding a common element of the set of fixed points, the set of solutions of an equilibrium problem, and the set of solutions of a variational inequality. With an appropriate setting, we obtain and improve the corresponding results recently proved by Moudafi [A. Moudafi, Weak convergence theorems for nonexpansive mappings and equilibrium problems. J. Nonlinear Convex Anal. 9 (2008) 37–43], Tada–Takahashi [A. Tada and W. Takahashi, Weak and strong convergence theorems for a nonexpansive mapping and an equilibrium problem. J. Optim. Theory Appl. 133 (2007) 359–370], and Plubtieng–Kumam [S. Plubtieng and P. Kumam, Weak convergence theorem for monotone mappings and a countable family of nonexpansive mappings. J. Comput. Appl. Math. (2008) doi:10.1016/j.cam.2008.05.045]. Some of our results are established with weaker assumptions.     

On the convergence analysis of inexact hybrid extragradient proximal point algorithms for maximal monotone operators

In this paper we introduce general iterative methods for finding zeros of a maximal monotone operator in a Hilbert space which unify two previously studied iterative methods: relaxed proximal point algorithm [H.K. Xu, Iterative algorithms for nonlinear operators, J. London Math Soc. 66 (2002) 240–256] and inexact hybrid extragradient proximal point algorithm [R.S. Burachik, S. Scheimberg, B.F. Svaiter, Robustness of the hybrid extragradient proximal-point algorithm, J. Optim. Theory Appl. 111 (2001) 117–136]. The paper establishes both weak convergence and strong convergence of the methods under suitable assumptions on the algorithm parameters.
