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.     

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.     

A general iterative method for a finite family of nonexpansive mappings

We study the approximation of common fixed points of a finite family of nonexpansive mappings and suggest a modification of the iterative algorithm without the assumption of any type of commutativity. Also we show that the convergence of the proposed algorithm can be proved under some types of control conditions.     

Approximation methods for common fixed points for a countable family of nonexpansive mappings

Let E=L_p or l_p space, 1<p<∞. Let K be a closed, convex and nonempty subset of E. Let be a family of nonexpansive self-mappings of K. For arbitrary fixed δ∈(0,1), define a family of nonexpansive maps by S_i?(1−δ)I+δT_i where I is the identity map of K. Let . It is proved that the iterative sequence {x_n} defined by: x₀∈K,x_n+1=α_nu+∑_i≥1σ_i,tnS_ix_n,n≥0 converges strongly to a common fixed point of the family where {α_n} and {σ_i,tn} are sequences in (0,1) satisfying appropriate conditions, in each of the following cases: (a) E=l_p,1<p<∞, and (b) E=L_p,1<p<∞ and at least one of the maps T_i’s is demicompact. Our theorems extend the results of [P. Maingé, Approximation methods for common fixed points of nonexpansive mappings in Hilbert space, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 325 (2007) 469-479] from Hilbert spaces to l_p spaces, 1<p<∞.     

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.     

Viscosity approximation to common fixed points of families of nonexpansive mappings with generalized contractions mappings

Let X$X$ be a reflexive and smooth real Banach space which has a weakly sequentially continuous duality mapping. In this paper, we consider the following viscosity approximation scheme _xn+1=_λn+1f(_xn)+(1−_λn+1)_Tn+1xn$x_{n+1}={\lambda }_{n+1}f\left(x_n\right)+(1-{\lambda }_{n+1})T_{n+1}{x}_n$ (where f$f$ is a generalized contraction mapping) for infinitely many nonexpansive self-mappings _T1,_T2,_T3,…$T_1,T_2,T_3,\dots$ in X$X$. We establish a strong convergence result which generalizes some results in the literature.

We establish △-convergence and strong convergence theorems for an iterative process for a finite family of generalized nonexpansive multivalued mappings in a CAT(0) space. Moreover, we present a fixed point theorem for a pair consisting of a finite family of generalized nonexpansive single valued mappings, and a generalized nonexpansive multivalued mapping in CAT(0) spaces.

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.     

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.

Strong convergence theorems for an infinite family of nonexpansive mappings in Banach spaces

In an infinite-dimensional Hilbert space, the normal Mann’s iteration algorithm has only weak convergence, in general, even for nonexpansive mappings. In order to get a strong convergence result, we modify the normal Mann’s iterative process for an infinite family of nonexpansive mappings in the framework of Banach spaces. Our results improve and extend the recent results announced by many others.

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.

Strong convergence of modified Mann iterations for a countable family of nonexpansive mappings

In this paper we propose a new modified Mann iteration for computing common fixed points of nonexpansive mappings in a Banach space. We give certain different control conditions for the modified Mann iteration.

We proved several strong convergence results by using the conception of a uniformly asymptotically regular sequence {T _n } of nonexpansive mappings in a reflexive Banach space which admits a weakly continuous duality mapping J _?(l ^p (1?p?t)?=?t ^p?1.
