A new iterative method for equilibrium problems and fixed point problems of infinitely nonexpansive mappings and monotone mappings

In this paper, we introduce a new iterative scheme for finding the common element of the set of common fixed points of infinitely many nonexpansive mappings, the set of solutions of an equilibrium problem and the set of solutions of the variational inequality for α-inverse-strongly monotone mapping in Hilbert spaces. We prove that the sequence converges strongly to a common element of the above three sets under some parameters controlling conditions. This main result improve and extend Plubtieng and Punpaeng’s corresponding result [S. Plubtieng, R. Punpaeng, A new iterative method for equilibrium problems and fixed point problems of nonexpansive mappings and monotone mappings, Applied Mathematics and Computation 197 (2008), 548–558]. Using this theorem, we obtain three corollaries.     

Generalized equilibrium problems and fixed point problems for nonexpansive semigroups in Hilbert spaces

In this paper, we introduce two iterative schemes (one implicit and one explicit) for finding a common element of the set of solutions of the generalized equilibrium problems and the set of all common fixed points of a nonexpansive semigroup in the framework of a real Hilbert space. We prove that both approaches converge strongly to a common element of such two sets. Such common element is the unique solution of a variational inequality, which is the optimality condition for a minimization problem. Furthermore, we utilize the main results to obtain two mean ergodic theorems for nonexpansive mappings in a Hilbert space. The results of this paper extend and improve the results of Li et al. (J Nonlinear Anal 70:3065–3071, 2009), Cianciaruso et al. (J Optim Theory Appl 146:491–509, 2010) and many others.     

Iterative approximation of zeroes of monotone operators and system of generalized mixed equilibrium problems

In this paper, we construct a new iterative scheme by hybrid method for approximation of common element of set of zeroes of a finite family of ??-inverse-strongly monotone operators and set of common solutions to a system of generalized mixed equilibrium problems in a 2-uniformly convex real Banach space which is also uniformly smooth. Then, we prove strong convergence of the scheme to a common element of the two sets.

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].

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.

Furthermore, we prove a strong convergence theorem of the iterative sequence generated by the proposed iterative algorithm under some suitable conditions which solves some optimization problems. Our results extend and improve the recent results of Chang et al. (Appl Math Comput 216:51–60, 2010), Hao (Appl Math Comput 217(7):3000–3010, 2010), Jaiboon and Kumam (Nonlinear Anal 73:1180–1202, 2010) and many others.

Then, we prove strong convergence of the scheme to a common element of the two sets. Furthermore, we apply our results to solve convex minimization problem. Our results extend important recent results.

On the coupling of BEM and FEM for exterior problems for the Helmholtz equation

This paper deals with the coupled procedure of the boundary element method (BEM) and the finite element method (FEM) for the exterior boundary value problems for the Helmholtz equation. A circle is selected as the common boundary on which the integral equation is set up with Fourier expansion. As a result, the exterior problems are transformed into nonlocal boundary value problems in a bounded domain which is treated with FEM, and the normal derivative of the unknown function at the common boundary does not appear. The solvability of the variational equation and the error estimate are also discussed.
