Approximating Fixed Points of Generalized α-Nonexpansive Mappings in Banach Spaces

We introduce a new type of nonexpansive mappings and obtain a number of existence and convergence theorems. This new class of nonlinear mapping properly contains nonexpansive, Suzuki-type generalized nonexpansive mappings and partially extends firmly nonexpansive and α-nonexpansive mappings. Also, this class of mapping need not be continuous. Some useful examples are presented to illustrate facts. Some prominent iteration processes are also compared using numerical computations.     

Strong convergence theorems by hybrid methods for families of nonexpansive mappings in Hilbert spaces

In this paper, we prove a strong convergence theorem by the hybrid method for a family of nonexpansive mappings which generalizes Nakajo and Takahashi's theorems [K. Nakajo, W. Takahashi, Strong convergence theorems for nonexpansive mappings and nonexpansive semigroups, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 279 (2003) 372-379], simultaneously. Furthermore, we obtain another strong convergence theorem for the family of nonexpansive mappings by a hybrid method which is different from Nakajo and Takahashi. Using this theorem, we get some new results for a single nonexpansive mapping or a family of nonexpansive mappings in a Hilbert space.     

Edelstein's method and fixed point theorems for some generalized nonexpansive mappings

A new condition for mappings, called condition (C), which is more general than nonexpansiveness, was recently introduced by Suzuki [T. Suzuki, Fixed point theorems and convergence theorems for some generalized nonexpansive mappings, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 340 (2008) 1088-1095]. Following the idea of Kirk and Massa Theorem in [W.A. Kirk, S. Massa, Remarks on asymptotic and Chebyshev centers, Houston J. Math. 16 (1990) 364-375], we prove a fixed point theorem for mappings with condition (C) on a Banach space such that its asymptotic center in a bounded closed and convex subset of each bounded sequence is nonempty and compact. This covers a result obtained by Suzuki [T. Suzuki, Fixed point theorems and convergence theorems for some generalized nonexpansive mappings, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 340 (2008) 1088-1095]. We also present fixed point theorems for this class of mappings defined on weakly compact convex subsets of Banach spaces satisfying property (D). Consequently, we extend the results in [T. Suzuki, Fixed point theorems and convergence theorems for some generalized nonexpansive mappings, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 340 (2008) 1088-1095] to many other Banach spaces.     

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. Ungchittrakool, Strong convergence theorems for a common fixed point of two relatively nonexpansive mappings in a Banach space, J. Approx. Theory 149 (2007) 103–115], and many others.     

Strong convergence theorems by Halpern-Mann iterations for relatively nonexpansive mappings in Banach spaces

In this paper, we modify Halpern and Mann’s iterations for finding a fixed point of a relatively nonexpansive mapping in a Banach space. Consequently, a strong convergence theorem for a nonspreading mapping is deduced. Using a concept of duality theorems, we also obtain analogue results for certain generalized nonexpansive and generalized nonexpansive type mappings. Finally, we discuss two strong convergence theorems concerning two types of resolvents of a maximal monotone operator in a Banach space.     

New monotone hybrid algorithm for hemi-relatively nonexpansive mappings and maximal monotone operators

The purpose of this article is to prove the strong convergence theorems for hemi-relatively nonexpansive mappings in Banach spaces. In order to get the strong convergence theorems for hemi-relatively nonexpansive mappings, a new monotone hybrid iteration algorithm is presented and is used to approximate the fixed point of hemi-relatively nonexpansive mappings. Noting that, the general hybrid iteration algorithm can be used for relatively nonexpansive mappings but it can not be used for hemi-relatively nonexpansive mappings. However, this new monotone hybrid algorithm can be used for hemi-relatively nonexpansive mappings. In addition, a new method of proof has been used in this article. That is, by using this new monotone hybrid algorithm, we firstly claim that, the iterative sequence is a Cauchy sequence. The results of this paper modify and improve the results of Matsushita and Takahashi, and some others.     

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. Ungchittrakool, Strong convergence theorems for a common fixed point of two relatively nonexpansive mappings in a Banach space, J. Approx. Theory 149 (2007) 103-115] and the results of Su et al. [Y. Su, Z. Wang and H. Xu, Strong convergence theorems for a common fixed point of two hemi-relatively nonexpansive mappings, Nonlinear Anal. 71 (2009) 5616-5628], and many others.     

Monotone CQ iteration processes for nonexpansive semigroups and maximal monotone operators

Nakajo and Takahashi [K. Nakajo, W. Takahashi, Strong convergence theorems for nonexpansive mappings and nonexpansive semigroups, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 279 (2003) 372–379] proved strong convergence theorems for nonexpansive mappings, nonexpansive semigroups and the proximal point algorithm for zero-point of monotone operators in Hilbert spaces by the CQ iteration method. The purpose of this paper is to modify the CQ iteration method of K. Nakajo and W. Takahashi using the monotone CQ method, and to prove strong convergence theorems. In the proof process of this article, the Cauchy sequence method is used, so we proceed without use of the demiclosedness principle and Opial’s condition, and other weak topological techniques.     

Strong convergence theorems for countable families of asymptotically relatively nonexpansive mappings with applications

The purpose of this paper is by using the hybrid iterative method to prove some strong convergence theorems for approximating a common element of the set of solutions to a system of generalized mixed equilibrium problems and the set of common fixed points for two countable families of closed and asymptotically relatively nonexpansive mappings in Banach space.

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 a hybrid method for a family of relatively nonexpansive mappings in a Banach space

We prove strong convergence theorems by the hybrid method given by Takahashi, Takeuchi, and Kubota for a family of relatively nonexpansive mappings under weaker conditions. The method of the proof is different from the original one and it shows that the type of projection used in the iterative method is independent of the properties of the mappings. We also deal with the problem of finding a zero of a maximal monotone operator and obtain a strong convergence theorem using this method.     

Convergence to common fixed points by a modified iteration process

We modify an iteration process of Agarwal et al. (J. Nonlinear Convex Anal. 8(1):61–79, 2007) to the case of two mappings and prove some weak and strong convergence theorems for two asymptotically nonexpansive mappings. We also point out that this process cannot be used for three mappings in its existing form even for nonexpansive mappings. We have to impose an extra condition to get convergence. We give an example to show that there do exist two nonexpansive mappings satisfying that condition.     

Modified extragradient methods for variational inequality problems and fixed point problems for an infinite family of nonexpansive mappings in Banach spaces

In this paper, we introduce a new general iterative algorithm for finding a common element of the set of common fixed points of an infinite family of nonexpansive mappings and the set of solutions of a general variational inequality for two inverse-strongly accretive mappings in Banach space. We obtain some strong convergence theorems by a modified extragradient method under suitable conditions. Our results extend the recent results announced by many others.

Modified block iterative algorithm for Quasi-?-asymptotically nonexpansive mappings and equilibrium problem in banach spaces

The purpose of this paper is to propose a modified block iterative algorithm for find a common element of the set of common fixed points of an infinite family of quasi-?-asymptotically nonexpansive mappings and the set of an equilibrium problem. Under suitable conditions, some strong convergence theorems are established in a uniformly smooth and strictly convex Banach space with the Kadec-Klee property. As an application, at the end of the paper a numerical example is given. The results presented in the paper improve and extend the corresponding results in Qin et al.

Strong convergence theorems for a common fixed point of two relatively nonexpansive mappings in a Banach space

In this paper, we establish strong convergence theorems for a common fixed point of two relatively nonexpansive mappings in a Banach space by using the hybrid method in mathematical programming.

Implicit iterative algorithms for asymptotically nonexpansive mappings in the intermediate sense and Lipschitz-continuous monotone mappings

In this paper, we introduce some implicit iterative algorithms for finding a common element of the set of fixed points of an asymptotically nonexpansive mapping in the intermediate sense and the set of solutions of the variational inequality problem for a monotone, Lipschitz-continuous mapping. These implicit iterative algorithms are based on two well-known methods: extragradient and approximate proximal methods. We obtain some weak convergence theorems for these implicit iterative algorithms. Based on these theorems, we also construct some implicit iterative processes for finding a common fixed point of two mappings, such that one of these two mappings is taken from the more general class of Lipschitz pseudocontractive mappings and the other mapping is asymptotically nonexpansive.     

Strong convergence theorems for strictly asymptotically pseudocontractive mappings in Hilbert spaces

A reconsideration on convergence of three-step iterations for asymptotically nonexpansive mappings

We illustrate that the control conditions of the main convergence theorems of Yao and Noor [Convergence of three-step iterations for asymptotically nonexpansive mappings, Appl. Math. Comput. in press] are incorrect. We also provide new control conditions which are complementary to Nilsrakoo and Saejung’s results [W. Nilsrakoo, S. Saejung, A new three-step fixed point iteration scheme for asymptotically nonexpansive mappings, Appl. Math. Comput. 181 (2006) 1026–1034].

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.
