Weak and strong convergence theorems for countable Lipschitzian mappings and its applications

We use Mann’s iteration and the hybrid method in mathematical programming to obtain weak and strong convergence to common fixed points of a countable family of Lipschitzian mappings. Finally, we apply our results to solve the equilibrium problems and variational inequalities for continuous monotone mappings.     

Convergence theorems of common elements for equilibrium problems and fixed point problems in Banach spaces

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.     

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.     

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.     

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.     

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.     

A composite iterative algorithm for common fixed points for a finite family of nonexpansive mappings and applications

This paper is concerned with a new composite iteration approximating to common fixed points for a finite family of nonexpansive mappings in Banach spaces which have a uniformly Gâteaux differentiable norm. Utilizing the iterative algorithm, we obtain the strong convergence theorems for a finite family of nonexpansive mappings. Furthermore, the problem of image recovery is considered in the above result. Our results extend and improve the corresponding results.

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.

A new iterative algorithm for common solutions of a finite family of accretive operators

The purpose in this paper is to prove a theorem of strong convergence to a common solution for a finite family of accretive operators in a strictly convex Banach space by means of a new iterative algorithm, which is a generalization and extension of the results of Kim and Xu [T.H. Kim, H.K. Xu, Strong convergence of modified Mann iterations, Nonlinear Anal. 61 (2005) 51–60], and Zegeye and Shahzad [H. Zegeye, N. Shahzad, Strong convergence theorems for a common zero of a finite family of m-accretive mappings, Nonlinear Anal. 66 (2007) 1161–1169]. Further using the result, the theorem of strong convergence to a common fixed point is discussed for a finite family of pseudocontractive mappings under certain conditions.     

A general iterative method for equilibrium problems and fixed point problems in Hilbert spaces

The purpose of this paper is to study the strong convergence of a general iterative scheme to find a common element of the set of fixed points of a nonexpansive mapping, the set of solutions of variational inequality for a relaxed cocoercive mapping and the set of solutions of an equilibrium problem. Our results extend the recent results of Takahashi and Takahashi [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], Marino and Xu [G. Marino, H.K. Xu, A general iterative method for nonexpansive mappings in Hilbert spaces, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 318 (2006) 43–52], Combettes and Hirstoaga [P.L. Combettes, S.A. Hirstoaga, Equilibrium programming in Hilbert spaces, J. Nonlinear Convex Anal. 6 (2005) 486–491], Iiduka and Takahashi, [H. Iiduka, W. Takahashi, Strong convergence theorems for nonexpansive mappings and inverse-strongly monotone mappings, Nonlinear Anal. 61 (2005) 341–350] and many others.     

A new hybrid method for solving a generalized equilibrium problem, solving a variational inequality problem and obtaining common fixed points in Banach spaces, with applications

The purpose of this paper is to prove by using a new hybrid method a strong convergence theorem for finding a common element of the set of solutions for a generalized equilibrium problem, the set of solutions for a variational inequality problem and the set of common fixed points for a pair of relatively nonexpansive mappings in a Banach space. As applications, we utilize our results to obtain some new results for finding a solution of an equilibrium problem, a fixed point problem and a common zero-point problem for maximal monotone mappings in Banach spaces.     

Asymptotic behavior of resolvents of coaccretive operators in the Hilbert ball

We study the resolvents of coaccretive operators in the Hilbert ball, with special emphasis on the asymptotic behavior of their compositions and metric convex combinations. We consider the case where the given coaccretive operators share a common fixed point inside the ball, as well as the case where they share a common sink point on its boundary. We establish weak convergence in the former case and strong convergence in the latter. We also present two related convergence results for a continuous implicit scheme.     

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.     

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.     

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.     

A contraction proximal point algorithm with two monotone operators

It is a known fact that the method of alternating projections introduced long ago by von Neumann fails to converge strongly for two arbitrary nonempty, closed and convex subsets of a real Hilbert space. In this paper, a new iterative process for finding common zeros of two maximal monotone operators is introduced and strong convergence results associated with it are proved. If the two operators are subdifferentials of indicator functions, this new algorithm coincides with the old method of alternating projections. Several other important algorithms, such as the contraction proximal point algorithm, occur as special cases of our algorithm. Hence our main results generalize and unify many results that occur in the literature.     

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.
