New iterative schemes for asymptotically quasi-nonexpansive nonself-mappings in Banach spaces

In this paper, a new two-step iterative scheme with errors is introduced for two asymptotically quasi-nonexpansive nonself-mappings. Several convergence theorems are established in real Banach spaces and real uniformly convex Banach spaces. Our theorems improve and extend the results due to Thianwan [S. Thianwan, Common fixed point of new iterations for two asymptotically nonexpansive nonself-mappings in a Banach space, J. Comput. Appl. Math. 224 (2009) 685-695] and many other papers.     

Approximation of common fixed points of a countable family of nonexpansive mappings in a Banach space

In this paper, to find a common fixed point of a family of nonexpansive mappings, we introduce a Halpern type iterative sequence. Then we prove that such a sequence converges strongly to a common fixed point of nonexpansive mappings. Moreover, we apply our result to the problem of finding a common fixed point of a countable family of nonexpansive mappings and the problem of finding a zero of an accretive operator.     

Iterative construction of fixed points of nonself-mappings in Banach spaces

The purpose of this paper is to study the iterative methods for constructing fixed points of nonself-mappings in Banach spaces. The concept of the class of asymptotically _QG$Q_G$-weakly contractive nonself-mappings is introduced and a new iterative algorithm for finding fixed points of this class of mappings is studied. Several strong convergence results on this algorithm are established under different conditions.     

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.     

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$p>1$.     

Degree of convergence of modified averaged iterations for fixed points problems and operator equations

Let H be a real Hilbert space. We propose a modification for averaged mappings to approximate the unique fixed point of a mapping T:H→H such that T is boundedly Lipschitzian and −T is monotone. We not only prove strong convergence theorems, but also determine the degree of convergence. Using this result, an iteration process is given for finding the unique solution of the equation Ax=f, where A:H→H is strongly monotone and boundedly Lipschitzian.     

Strong convergence theorems for nonexpansive nonself-mappings without boundary conditions

In this paper, we study boundary conditions for nonexpansive nonself-mappings in a Banach space. Using this, we prove two strong convergence theorems for nonexpansive nonself-mappings in a Banach space without boundary conditions.     

Convergence of an implicit iterative process for asymptotically pseudocontractive nonself-mappings

In this work, an implicit iterative process is considered for asymptotically pseudocontractive nonself-mappings. Weak and strong convergence theorems for common fixed points of a family of asymptotically pseudocontractive nonself-mappings are established in the framework of Hilbert spaces.     

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 to common fixed points of a finite family of nonexpansive mappings

We study approximation of common fixed points of a finite family of nonexpansive mappings and introduce an iterative scheme defined by using a convex combination of mappings. Strong convergence of the iteration is obtained under several types of control conditions.Received: 28 May 2004     

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 theorems for nonexpansive maps in Banach spaces

In this work, we present some new versions of fixed point theorems for nonexpansive maps and 1-set contractions defined on closed, convex, not necessarily bounded subsets of Banach spaces. Our proofs rely on a compactness result for an approximate fixed point set. The Kuratowski measure of noncompactness is used throughout. To illustrate the results obtained, some applications to Banach algebras and Hammerstein integral equations are provided.     

A note on “Approximation of fixed points for amenable semigroups of nonexpansive mappings in Banach spaces” [Nonlinear Anal. 67 (2007) 1211-1225]

In this note, we deal with an iterative scheme of Halpern type for a semigroup of nonexpansive mappings on a compact convex subset of a strictly convex and smooth Banach space with respect to an asymptotically left invariant sequence of means defined on an appropriate space of bounded real valued functions of the semigroup. We improve the corresponding result of [A.T. Lau, H. Miyake, W. Takahashi, Approximation of fixed points for amenable semigroups of nonexpansive mappings in Banach spaces, Nonlinear Anal. 67 (2007) 1211-1225].     

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 modified Ishikawa iteration for a nonexpansive semigroup in Banach spaces

In this work, we give certain control conditions for a modified Ishikawa iteration to compute common fixed points of a kind of nonexpansive semigroup in Banach spaces. These results improve and extend those in Somyot and Rattanaporn (2008) [7] and Song and Xu (2008) [11].     

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 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.     

Common fixed points for Banach operator pairs with applications

The existence of common fixed point results for a Banach operator pair under certain generalized contractions is established. The invariant best approximation results are proved as applications and the existence of solutions of variational inequalities is obtained. We also study the solution of functional equations arising from dynamic programming.
