Approximation of fixed points of nonexpansive mapping in Banach spaces

In this paper, some iterative schemes are given to approximate a fixed point of the nonexpansive non-self-mapping and nonexpansive self-mapping. Furthermore, the strong convergence of the scheme to a fixed point is shown in a Banach space with uniformly Gâteaux differentiable norm. The theorems extend and improve some corresponding results of Matsushita and Takahashi [S. Matsushita, W. Takahashi, Strong convergence theorems for nonexpansive nonself-mappings without boundary conditions, Nonlinear Anal. 68 (2008) 412–419], Chang et al. [S.S. Chang, H.W. Joseph Lee, C.K. Chan, On Reich’s strong convergence theorem for asymptotically nonexpansive mappings in Banach spaces, Nonlinear Anal. 66 (2007) 2364–2374], Chidume and Chidume [C.E. Chidume, C.O. Chidume, Iterative approximation of fixed points of nonexpansive mappings, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 318 (2006) 288–295] and Suzuki [T. Suzuki, A sufficient and necessary condition for Halpern-type strong convergence to fixed point of nonexpansive mappings, Proc. Amer. Math. Society 135 (1) (2007) 99–106].     

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.

Fixed point theorems for one-parameter asymptotically nonexpansive semigroups in general Banach spaces

In this paper, we first prove two fixed points theorems for one-parameter asymptotically nonexpansive semigroups in general Banach spaces. Using these results, we prove a strong convergence theorem of Mann's type sequences for the asymptotically nonexpansive semigroups. This is a generalization of the result of Suzuki and Takahashi for one-parameter nonexpansive semigroups in general Banach spaces.     

Generalized Projection Algorithms for Nonlinear Operators

In this paper, we prove three strong convergence theorems of modified Mann iteration for relatively asymptotically nonexpansive mappings, relatively nonexpansive mappings, and maximal monotone operators in a Banach space, respectively. Our results extend and improve the recent ones announced by Nakajo, Takahashi, Matsushita, Kim, Martinez-Yanex, Xu, and some others.     

Strong convergence theorems for multi-step Noor iterations with errors in Banach spaces

In this paper, we established two strong convergence theorems for a multi-step Noor iterative scheme with errors for mappings of asymptotically nonexpansive in the intermediate sense(asymptotically quasi-nonexpansive, respectively) in Banach spaces. Our results extend and improve the recent ones announced by Xu and Noor [B.L. Xu, M.A. Noor, Fixed-point iterations for asymptotically nonexpansive mappings in Banach spaces, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 267 (2002) 444-453], Cho, Zhou and Guo [Y.J. Cho, H. Zhou, G. Guo, Weak and strong convergence theorems for three-step iterations with errors for asymptotically nonexpansive mappings, Comput.

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 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.     

Approximating fixed points of asymptotically nonexpansive mappings in Banach spaces by metric projections

In this paper, a strong convergence theorem for asymptotically nonexpansive mappings in a uniformly convex and smooth Banach space is proved by using metric projections.

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.
