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.     

A von Neumann alternating method for finding common solutions to variational inequalities

By modifying von Neumann’s alternating projections algorithm, we obtain an alternating method for solving the recently introduced Common Solutions to Variational Inequalities Problem (CSVIP). For simplicity, we mainly confine our attention to the two-set CSVIP, which entails finding common solutions to two unrelated variational inequalities in Hilbert space.     

The common minimal-norm fixed point of a finite family of nonexpansive mappings

Consider a finite family of nonexpansive mappings which are defined on a closed convex subset of a Hilbert space H. Suppose the set of common fixed points of this family is nonempty. We then address the problem of finding the minimum-norm element of this common fixed point set. We introduce both cyclic and parallel iteration methods to find this minimal-norm element.     

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     

Convergence theorems of common fixed points for a finite family of Lipschitz pseudocontractions in Banach spaces

In this paper, we continue to study weak convergence problems for the implicit iteration process for a finite family of Lipschitzian continuous pseudocontractions in general Banach spaces. The results presented in this paper improve and extend the corresponding ones of Xu and Ori [H.K. Xu, R.G. Ori, An implicit iteration process for nonexpansive mappings, Numer. Funct. Anal. Optim. 22 (2001) 767–773], Osilike [M.O. Osilike, Implicit iteration process for common fixed points of a finite family of strictly pseudocontractive maps, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 294 (2004) 73–81], Chen et al. [R. Chen, Y.S. Song, H.Y. Zhou, Convergence theorems for implicit iteration process for a finite family of continuous pseudocontractive mappings, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 314 (2006) 701–709] and others.     

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.     

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.     

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 topological property of the common fixed points set of two multivalued operators

Let (X,d)$(X,d)$ be a complete metric space and absolute retract for metric spaces. We prove that the common fixed points set of two multivalued operators defined on X$X$, which have the selection property and satisfy a contraction type condition, is an absolute retract for metric spaces.     

Convergence and certain control conditions for hybrid viscosity approximation methods

Very recently, Yao, Chen and Yao [20] proposed a hybrid viscosity approximation method, which combines the viscosity approximation method and the Mann iteration method. Under the convergence of one parameter sequence to zero, they derived a strong convergence theorem in a uniformly smooth Banach space. In this paper, under the convergence of no parameter sequence to zero, we prove the strong convergence of the sequence generated by their method to a fixed point of a nonexpansive mapping, which solves a variational inequality. An appropriate example such that all conditions of this result are satisfied and their condition β_n→0 is not satisfied is provided. Furthermore, we also give a weak convergence theorem for their method involving a nonexpansive mapping in a Hilbert space.     

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.     

A comparison between the variational iteration method and Adomian decomposition method

In this paper, we present a comparative study between the variational iteration method and Adomian decomposition method. The study outlines the significant features of the two methods. The analysis will be illustrated by investigating the homogeneous and the nonhomogeneous advection problems.     

A modified Halpern-type iteration algorithm for a family of hemi-relatively nonexpansive mappings and systems of equilibrium problems in Banach spaces

In this paper, we prove strong convergence theorems by the hybrid method for a family of hemi-relatively nonexpansive mappings in a Banach space. Our results improve and extend the corresponding results given by Qin et al. [Xiaolong Qin, Yeol Je Cho, Shin Min Kang, Haiyun Zhou, Convergence of a modified Halpern-type iteration algorithm for quasi-?-nonexpansive mappings, Appl. Math. Lett. 22 (2009) 1051-1055], and at the same time, our iteration algorithm is different from the Kimura and Takahashi algorithm, which is a modified Mann-type iteration algorithm [Yasunori Kimura, Wataru Takahashi, On a hybrid method for a family of relatively nonexpansive mappings in Banach space, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 357 (2009) 356-363]. In addition, we succeed in applying our algorithm to systems of equilibrium problems which contain a family of equilibrium problems.

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 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.

Finally, we apply our results to solve the equilibrium problems and variational inequalities for continuous monotone mappings.
