Convex Minimization over the Fixed Point Set of Demicontractive Mappings

This paper deals with a viscosity iteration method, in a real Hilbert space , for minimizing a convex function over the fixed point set of , a mapping in the class of demicontractive operators, including the classes of quasi-nonexpansive and strictly pseudocontractive operators. The considered algorithm is written as: x _n+1 := (1 − w) v _n + w T v _n , v _n := x _n − α _n Θ′(x _n ), where w ∈ (0,1) and , Θ′ is the Gateaux derivative of Θ. Under classical conditions on T, Θ, Θ′ and the parameters, we prove that the sequence (x _n ) generated, with an arbitrary , by this scheme converges strongly to some element in Argmin _Fix(T) Θ.
