Subsolutions for abstract evolution equations

We study different notions of subsolutions for an abstract evolution equation du/dt+Auf where A is an m-accretive nonlinear operation in an ordered Banach space X with order-preserving resolvents. A first notion is related to the operator d/dt+A in the ordered Banach space L ¹(0, T; X); a second one uses the evolution equation du/dt+A uf where A :x{y;zy for some zAx}; other notions are also considered.     

The invariance of domain theorem for countably 1-set-contractive mappings

The purpose of this paper is to extend the invariance of domain theorem to a large class of countably 1-γ-contractive maps, by using homotopy theory and degree theory for countably 1-γ-contractive maps.     

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$p>1$.     

Strong convergence theorems for finitely many nonexpansive mappings and applications

Let E$E$ be a uniformly convex Banach space which satisfies Opial’s condition or whose norm is Fréchet differentiable. Recently, Takahashi and Shimoji [W. Takahashi, K. Shimoji, Convergence theorems for nonexpansive mappings and feasibility problems, Math. Comput. Modelling 32 (2000) 1463–1471] introduced an iterative scheme given by finitely many nonexpansive mappings in E$E$ and proved weak convergence theorems which are connected with the problem of image recovery. In this paper we introduce a new iterative scheme which includes their iterative scheme as a special case. Under the assumption that E$E$ is a reflexive Banach space whose norm is uniformly Gâteaux differentiable and which has a weakly continuous duality mapping, we prove strong convergence theorems which are connected with the problem of image recovery. Using the established results, we consider the problem of finding a common fixed point of finitely many nonexpansive mappings.     

Critical types of krasnoselskii fixed point theorems in weak topologies

Abstract

In this note, by means of the technique of measures of weak noncom- pactness, we establish a generalized form of fixed point theorem for the sum of T+S in weak topology setups of a metrizable locally convex space, where S is not weakly compact, I?T allows to be noninvertible, and T is not necessarily continuous. The obtained results unify and significantly extend a lot of previously known extensions of Krasnoselskii fixed-point theorems. The analysis presented here reveals the essential characteristics of the Krasnoselskii type fixed-point theorem in weak topology settings.     

On a Mann type implicit iteration process for continuous pseudo-contractive mappings

Let K$K$ be a nonempty closed convex subset of a Banach space E$E$, T:K→K$T:K\to K$ a continuous pseudo-contractive mapping. Suppose that {_αn}$\left\{{\alpha }_n\right\}$ is a real sequence in [0,1]$[0,1]$ satisfying appropriate conditions; then for arbitrary _x0∈K$x_0\in K$, the Mann type implicit iteration process {_xn}$\left\{x_n\right\}$ given by _xn=_αnxn−1+(1−_αn)T_xn,n≥0$x_n={\alpha }_n{x}_{n-1}+(1-{\alpha }_n)T{x}_n,n\ge 0$, strongly and weakly converges to a fixed point of T$T$, respectively.     

A modified Halpern-type iteration algorithm for a family of hemi-relatively nonexpansive mappings and systems of equilibrium problems in Banach spaces

In this paper, we prove strong convergence theorems by the hybrid method for a family of hemi-relatively nonexpansive mappings in a Banach space. Our results improve and extend the corresponding results given by Qin et al. [Xiaolong Qin, Yeol Je Cho, Shin Min Kang, Haiyun Zhou, Convergence of a modified Halpern-type iteration algorithm for quasi-?-nonexpansive mappings, Appl. Math. Lett. 22 (2009) 1051-1055], and at the same time, our iteration algorithm is different from the Kimura and Takahashi algorithm, which is a modified Mann-type iteration algorithm [Yasunori Kimura, Wataru Takahashi, On a hybrid method for a family of relatively nonexpansive mappings in Banach space, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 357 (2009) 356-363]. In addition, we succeed in applying our algorithm to systems of equilibrium problems which contain a family of equilibrium problems.     

Convergence and certain control conditions for hybrid viscosity approximation methods

Very recently, Yao, Chen and Yao [20] proposed a hybrid viscosity approximation method, which combines the viscosity approximation method and the Mann iteration method. Under the convergence of one parameter sequence to zero, they derived a strong convergence theorem in a uniformly smooth Banach space. In this paper, under the convergence of no parameter sequence to zero, we prove the strong convergence of the sequence generated by their method to a fixed point of a nonexpansive mapping, which solves a variational inequality. An appropriate example such that all conditions of this result are satisfied and their condition β_n→0 is not satisfied is provided. Furthermore, we also give a weak convergence theorem for their method involving a nonexpansive mapping in a Hilbert space.     

Uniformly normal structure and uniformly Lipschitzian semigroups

Assume that X is a real Banach space with uniformly normal structure and C is a nonempty closed convex subset of X. We show that a κ-uniformly Lipschitzian semigroup of nonlinear self-mappings of C admits a common fixed point if the semigroup has a bounded orbit and if κ is appropriately greater than one. This result applies, in particular, to the framework of uniformly convex Banach spaces.     

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.     

Viscosity approximation methods for pseudo-contractive semigroups in Banach spaces

We study the strong convergence of two viscosity iteration processes for pseudo-contractive semigroup and for ?$?$-strongly pseudo-contractive mapping in uniformly convex Banach spaces with uniformly Gâteaux differentiable norm. As special cases, we get strong convergence of two viscosity iteration processes for approximating common fixed points of nonexpansive semigroups in certain Banach spaces. The results presented in this paper extend and generalize previous results.     

Iterative approximation of solutions of nonlinear equations of Hammerstein type

Suppose X$X$ is a real q$q$-uniformly smooth Banach space and F,K:X→X$F,K:X\to X$ are Lipschitz ?$?$-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$u+KFu=0$. An iteration process recently introduced by Chidume and Zegeye 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.     

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].     

Convergence theorems of common fixed points for a finite family of Lipschitz pseudocontractions in Banach spaces

In this paper, we continue to study weak convergence problems for the implicit iteration process for a finite family of Lipschitzian continuous pseudocontractions in general Banach spaces. The results presented in this paper improve and extend the corresponding ones of Xu and Ori [H.K. Xu, R.G. Ori, An implicit iteration process for nonexpansive mappings, Numer. Funct. Anal. Optim. 22 (2001) 767–773], Osilike [M.O. Osilike, Implicit iteration process for common fixed points of a finite family of strictly pseudocontractive maps, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 294 (2004) 73–81], Chen et al. [R. Chen, Y.S. Song, H.Y. Zhou, Convergence theorems for implicit iteration process for a finite family of continuous pseudocontractive mappings, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 314 (2006) 701–709] and others.     

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.     

Fixed point property for nonexpansive mappings versus that for nonexpansive semigroups

The main result of this paper is that a closed convex subset of a Banach space has the fixed point property for nonexpansive mappings if and only if it has the fixed point property for nonexpansive semigroups.     

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.
