We introduce a new hybrid extragradient viscosity approximation method for finding the common element of the set of equilibrium problems, the set of solutions of fixed points of an infinitely many nonexpansive mappings, and the set of solutions of the variational inequality problems for β-inverse-strongly monotone mapping in Hilbert spaces. Then, we prove the strong convergence of the proposed iterative scheme to the unique solution of variational inequality, which is the optimality condition for a minimization problem. Results obtained in this paper improve the previously known results in this area.

1. Introduction
LetH be a real Hilbert space, and let Cbe a nonempty closed convex subset ofH. Recall that a mappingT of H into itself is called nonexpansivesee1if Tx−Ty ≤ x−y for allx, y ∈H. We denote byFT {x ∈ C: Tx x}the set of fixed points ofT. Recall also that a self-mappingf :H → His acontractionif there exists a constantα∈0,1such thatfx−fy ≤αx−y, for all x, y ∈H.In addition, letB:C → Hbe a nonlinear mapping. LetPC be the projection ofHontoC. The classical variational inequality which is
denoted byV IC, Bis to findu∈Csuch that
For a givenz∈H,u∈Csatisfies the inequality
u−z, v−u ≥0, ∀v∈C, 1.2
if and only ifuPCz. It is well known thatPCis a nonexpansive mapping ofHontoCand
satisfies
x−y, PCx−PCy≥PCx−PCy2, ∀x, y∈H. 1.3
Moreover,PCxis characterized by the following properties:PCx∈Cand for allx∈H, y∈C,
x−PCx, y−PCx≤0, 1.4
x−y2
≥ x−PCx2y−PCx2. 1.5
It is easy to see that the following is true:
u∈V IC, B⇐⇒uPCu−λBu, λ >0. 1.6
One can see that the variational inequality1.1is equivalent to a fixed point problem. The variational inequality has been extensively studied in literature; see, for instance, 2–
6. This alternative equivalent formulation has played a significant role in the studies of the variational inequalities and related optimization problems. Recall the following.
1A mappingBofCintoHis called monotone if
Bx−By, x−y≥0, ∀x, y∈C. 1.7
2A mappingB is calledβ-strongly monotonesee7,8if there exists a constant β >0 such that
Bx−By, x−y≥βx−y2, ∀x, y∈C. 1.8
3A mappingBis calledk-Lipschitz continuous if there exists a positive real number ksuch that
Bx−By≤kx−y, ∀x, y∈C. 1.9
4A mapping Bis called β-inverse-strongly monotonesee 7, 8 if there exists a constantβ >0 such that
Remark 1.1. It is obvious that anyβ-inverse-strongly monotone mappingBis monotone and 1/β-Lipschitz continuous.
5An operatorAis strongly positive onH if there exists a constantγ > 0 with the property
Ax, x ≥γx2, ∀x∈H. 1.11
6A set-valued mappingT :H → 2His called monotone if for allx, y∈H,f ∈Tx, andg ∈Tyimplyx−y, f−g ≥0. A monotone mappingT :H → 2His maximal if the graph ofGT ofT is not properly contained in the graph of any other monotone mapping. It is known that a monotone mappingTis maximal if and only if forx, f∈H×H,x−y, f−g ≥ 0 for everyy, g∈GTimpliesf∈Tx. LetBbe a monotone map ofCintoH,and letNCv
be the normal cone toCatv∈C, that is,NCv{w∈H:u−v, w ≥0, for allu∈C},.
Tv
⎧ ⎨ ⎩
BvNCv, v∈ C,
∅, v /∈ C. 1.12
ThenT is the maximal monotone and 0∈Tvif and only ifv∈V IC, B; see9.
7 Let F be a bifunction ofC×Cinto R, whereR is the set of real numbers. The equilibrium problem forF:C×C → Ris to findx∈Csuch that
Fx, y ≥0, ∀y∈C. 1.13
The set of solutions of 1.13 is denoted by EPF. Given a mapping T : C → H, let Fx, y Tx, y− x for all x, y ∈ C. Then, z ∈ EPF if and only if Tz, y−z ≥ 0 for all y ∈ C.Numerous problems in physics, saddle point problem, fixed point problem, variational inequality problems, optimization, and economics are reduced to find a solution of 1.13. Some methods have been proposed to solve the equilibrium problem; see, for instance, 10–16. Recently, Combettes and Hirstoaga 17introduced an iterative scheme of finding the best approximation to the initial data whenEPFis nonempty and proved a strong convergence theorem.
In 1976, Korpelevich18introduced the following so-called extragradient method:
x0x∈C,
ynPCxn−λBxn,
xn1PCxn−λByn
1.14
for alln≥0,whereλ∈0,1/k, Cis a closed convex subset ofRn,andBis a monotone and k-Lipschitz continuous mapping ofCintoRn. He proved that ifV IC, Bis nonempty, then the sequences{xn}and{yn}, generated by1.14, converge to the same pointz∈V IC, B.
the set of solution of variational inequalities forβ-inverse-strongly monotone, Takahashi and Toyoda19introduced the following iterative scheme:
x0∈C chosen arbitrary,
xn1αnxn 1−αnSPCxn−λnBxn, ∀n≥0,
1.15
whereBisβ-inverse-strongly monotone,{αn}is a sequence in0, 1, and{λn}is a sequence
in0,2β. They showed that ifFS∩V IC, Bis nonempty, then the sequence{xn}generated
by1.15converges weakly to somez∈FS∩V IC, B. Recently, Iiduka and Takahashi20
proposed a new iterative scheme as follows:
x0x∈C chosen arbitrary,
xn1αnx 1−αnSPCxn−λnBxn, ∀n≥0,
1.16
whereBisβ-inverse-strongly monotone,{αn}is a sequence in0, 1, and{λn}is a sequence
in0,2β. They showed that ifFS∩V IC, Bis nonempty, then the sequence{xn}generated
by1.16converges strongly to somez∈FS∩V IC, B.
Iterative methods for nonexpansive mappings have recently been applied to solve convex minimization problems; see, for example,21–24and the references therein. Convex minimization problems have a great impact and influence in the development of almost all branches of pure and applied sciences. A typical problem is to minimize a quadratic function over the set of the fixed points of a nonexpansive mapping on a real Hilbert spaceH:
min
x∈C

2Ax, x − x, b, 1.17
whereAis a linear bounded operator,Cis the fixed point set of a nonexpansive mapping SonH, andbis a given point inH. Moreover, it is shown in25that the sequence {xn}
defined by the scheme
xn1 nγfxn 1−nASxn 1.18
converges strongly to z PFSI − A γfz. Recently, Plubtieng and Punpaeng 26
proposed the following iterative algorithm:
Fun, y r1 n
y−un, un−xn≥0, ∀y∈H,
xn1nγfxn I−nASun.
1.19
They prove that if the sequences{n}and{rn}of parameters satisfy appropriate condition,
then the sequences{xn}and{un}both converge to the unique solutionzof the variational
inequality
which is the optimality condition for the minimization problem

Furthermore, for finding approximate common fixed points of an infinite countable family of nonexpansive mappings {Tn} under very mild conditions on the parameters.
Wangkeeree27introduced an iterative scheme for finding a common element of the set of solutions of the equilibrium problem1.13and the set of common fixed points of a countable family of nonexpansive mappings onC. Starting with an arbitrary initialx1 ∈ C, define a sequence{xn}recursively by

where{αn},{βn},and{γn}are sequences in0,1. It is proved that under certain appropriate
conditions imposed on {αn},{βn},{γn}, and {rn}, the sequence {xn} generated by 1.22
strongly converges to the unique solution q ∈ ∩∞n1FSn∩V IC, B∩EPF, where p

1.23
Such a mappingWnis nonexpansive fromCtoC,and it is called theW-mapping generated
On the other hand, Colao et al.28introduced and considered an iterative scheme for finding a common element of the set of solutions of the equilibrium problem1.13and the set of common fixed points of infinitely many nonexpansive mappings onC. Starting with an arbitrary initialx0∈C, define a sequence{xn}recursively by
Fun, y r1

xn1nγfxn βxn1−β I−nA Wnun,

where{n}is a sequence in0,1. It is proved28that under certain appropriate conditions

In this paper, motivated by Wangkeeree27, Plubtieng and Punpaeng26, Marino and Xu25, and Colao, et al.28, we introduce a new iterative scheme in a Hilbert spaceH which is mixed by the iterative schemes of1.18,1.19,1.22, and1.24as follows.
Letfbe a contraction ofHinto itself,Aa strongly positive bounded linear operator on Hwith coefficientγ >0,andBaβ-inverse-strongly monotone mapping ofCintoH; define sequences{xn},{yn},{kn},and{un}recursively by

1.25
where {Wn}is the sequence generated by 1.23,{n},{αn},and {βn} ⊂ 0,1 and {rn} ⊂
0,∞satisfying appropriate conditions. We prove that the sequences{xn},{yn},{kn}and
{un}generated by the above iterative scheme1.25converge strongly to a common element
of the set of solutions of the equilibrium problem1.13, the set of common fixed points of infinitely family nonexpansive mappings, and the set of solutions of variational inequality
1.1for a β-inverse-strongly monotone mapping in Hilbert spaces. The results obtained in this paper improve and extend the recent ones announced by Wangkeeree 27, Plubtieng and Punpaeng26, Marino and Xu25, Colao, et al.28, and many others.
2. Preliminaries
We now recall some well-known concepts and results.
LetHbe a real Hilbert space, whose inner product and norm are denoted by·,·and
· , respectively. We denote weak convergence and strong convergence by notationsand
A spaceHis said to satisfy Opial’s condition29if for each sequence{xn}inHwhich
converges weakly to pointx∈H, we have
lim inf
n→ ∞ xn−x<lim infn→ ∞ xn−y, ∀y∈H, y /x. 2.1
Lemma 2.1see25. LetCbe a nonempty closed convex subset ofH, letf be a contraction of H into itself withα ∈ 0,1, and letAbe a strongly positive linear bounded operator on Hwith coefficientγ >0. Then , for0< γ < γ/α,
x−y,A−γf x−A−γf y≥γ−αγ x−y2, x, y∈H. 2.2
That is,A−γfis strongly monotone with coefficientγ−γα.
Lemma 2.2see25. Assume thatA is a strongly positive linear bounded operator onH with coefficientγ >0and0< ρ≤ A−1. ThenI−ρA ≤1−ργ.
For solving the equilibrium problem for a bifunctionF :C×C → R, let us assume thatFsatisfies the following conditions:
A1Fx, x 0 for allx∈C;
A2Fis monotone, that is,Fx, y Fy, x≤0 for allx, y∈C;
A3for eachx, y, z∈C,limt↓0Ftz 1−tx, y≤Fx, y;
A4for eachx∈C, y→Fx, yis convex and lower semicontinuous. The following lemma appears implicitly in30.
Lemma 2.3see30. LetCbe a nonempty closed convex subset ofHand letFbe a bifunction of C×CintoRsatisfying (A1)–(A4). Letr >0andx∈H. Then, there existsz∈Csuch that
Fz, y 1ry−z, z−x≥0 ∀y∈C. 2.3
The following lemma was also given in17.
Lemma 2.4see17. Assume thatF :C×C → Rsatisfies (A1)–(A4). Forr > 0andx ∈H, define a mappingTr :H → Cas follows:
Trx
z∈C:Fz, y 1 r
y−z, z−x≥0, ∀y∈C
2.4
for allz∈H. Then, the following holds:
1Tr is single-valued;
2Tr is firmly nonexpansive, that is, for anyx, y∈H,
Trx−Try2≤T
3FTr EPF;
4EPFis closed and convex.
For eachn, k ∈ N, let the mappingUn,kbe defined by1.23. Then we can have the
following crucial conclusions concerningWn. You can find them in31. Now we only need
the following similar version in Hilbert spaces.
Lemma 2.5see31. LetC be a nonempty closed convex subset of a real Hilbert spaceH. Let T1, T2, . . . be nonexpansive mappings of C into itself such that ∩∞n1FTn is nonempty, and let
μ1, μ2, . . .be real numbers such that0 ≤ μn ≤ b < 1 for everyn ≥ 1. Then, for everyx ∈ Cand
k∈N, the limitlimn→ ∞Un,kxexists.
UsingLemma 2.5, one can define a mappingWofCinto itself as follows:
Wx lim
n→ ∞Wnxnlim→ ∞Un,1x 2.6
for everyx ∈ C. Such aW is called the W-mapping generated byT1, T2, . . . and μ1, μ2, . . .. Throughout this paper, we will assume that 0≤μn≤b <1 for everyn≥1. Then, we have the
following results.
Lemma 2.6see31. LetC be a nonempty closed convex subset of a real Hilbert spaceH. Let T1, T2, . . . be nonexpansive mappings of C into itself such that ∩∞n1FTn is nonempty, and let μ1, μ2, . . .be real numbers such that0≤μn≤b <1for everyn≥1. Then,FW ∩∞n1FTn. Lemma 2.7see32. If{xn}is a bounded sequence inC, thenlimn→ ∞Wxn−Wnxn0.
Lemma 2.8see33. Let{xn}and{zn}be bounded sequences in a Banach spaceX,and let{βn}be
a sequence in0,1with0<lim infn→ ∞βn≤lim supn→ ∞βn<1.Supposexn1 1−βnznβnxn
for all integersn≥0andlim supn→ ∞yn1−zn − xn1−xn≤0.Then,limn→ ∞zn−xn0.
Lemma 2.9see34. Assume that{an}is a sequence of nonnegative real numbers such that
an1≤1−lnanσn, n≥0, 2.7
where{ln}is a sequence in0,1and{σn}is a sequence inRsuch that
1∞n1ln∞;
2lim supn→ ∞σn/ln≤0or∞n1|σn|<∞.
Thenlimn→ ∞an0.

3. Main Results
In this section, we prove the strong convergence theorem for infinitely many nonexpansive mappings in a real Hilbert space.
Theorem 3.1. LetCbe a nonempty closed convex subset of a real Hilbert spaceH, letFbe a bifunction fromC×CtoRsatisfying (A1)–(A4), let{Tn}be an infinitely many nonexpansive ofCinto itself,
and let B be an β-inverse-strongly monotone mapping ofC into H such that Θ : ∩∞n1FTn∩
EPF∩V IC, B/∅. Letfbe a contraction ofHinto itself withα∈0,1,and letAbe a strongly positive linear bounded operator onH with coefficient γ > 0 and0 < γ < γ/α. Let {xn},{yn},
{kn},and{un}be sequences generated by1.25, where{Wn}is the sequence generated by1.23,
{n},{αn},and{βn}are three sequences in0,1,and{rn}is a real sequence in0,∞satisfying the
following conditions:
ilimn→ ∞n0,∞n1n∞;
iilimn→ ∞αn0and∞n1αn∞;
iii0<lim infn→ ∞βn≤lim supn→ ∞βn<1;
ivlim infn→ ∞rn>0andlimn→ ∞|rn1−rn|0;
v{λn/β} ⊂τ,1−δfor someτ, δ∈0,1andlimn→ ∞λn0.
Then,{xn}and{un}converge strongly to a pointz∈Θwhich is the unique solution of the variational
inequality
A−γf z, z−x≥0, ∀x∈Θ. 3.1
Equivalently, one haszPΘI−Aγfz.
Proof. Note that from the conditioni, we may assume, without loss of generality, thatn ≤
1−βnA−1for alln∈N. FromLemma 2.2, we know that if 0≤ρ≤ A−1, thenI−ρA ≤
1−ργ. We will assume thatI−A ≤1−γ. First, we show thatI−λnBis nonexpansive. Indeed,
from theβ-inverse-strongly monotone mapping definition onBand conditionv, we have
I−λnBx−I−λnBy2x−y−λnBx−By2
x−y2−2λ
nx−y, Bx−Byλ2nBx−By2
≤x−y2−2λ
nβBx−By2λ2nBx−By2
x−y2λ
nλn−2β Bx−By2
≤x−y2,
3.2
which implies that the mapping I−λnB is nonexpansive. On the other hand, sinceAis a
strongly positive bounded linear operator on H, we have
Observe that
1−βn I−nA x, x1−βn−nAx, x
≥1−βn−nA
≥0,
3.4
and this show that1−βnI−nAis positive. It follows that
1−βn I−nAsup1−βn I−nA x, x:x∈H,x1
sup1−βn−nAx, x:x∈H,x1
≤1−βn−nγ.
3.5
LetQPΘ, whereΘ:∩∞n1FTn∩EPF∩V IC, B. Note thatf is a contraction ofHinto itself withα∈0,1. Then, we have
QI−Aγf x−QI−Aγf y PΘI−Aγf x−PΘI−Aγf y
≤I−Aγf x−I−Aγf y
≤ I−Ax−yγfx−fy
≤1−γ x−yγαx−y
1−γγα x−y
1−γ−γα x−y, ∀x, y∈H.
3.6
Since 0 < 1−γ −γα < 1, it follows that QI−Aγf is a contraction ofH into itself. Therefore by the Banach Contraction Mapping Principle, which implies that there exists a unique elementz∈Hsuch thatzQI−Aγfz PΘI−Aγfz.
We will divide the proof into five steps.
Step 1. We claim that{xn}is bounded. Indeed, pick anyp∈Θ. From the definition ofTr, we
note thatunTrnxn. If follows that
un−pTrnxn−Trnp≤xn−p. 3.7

Putvn PCun−λnByn. Sincep ∈ V IC, B, we havep PCp−λnBp. Substitutingx

Using the fact that B is β-inverse-strongly monotone mapping, and p is a solution of the variational inequality problemV IC, B, we also have
Byn−Bp, p−yn≤0, Bp, p−yn ≤0. 3.10
It follows from3.9and3.10that

Applying3.36,3.49, and3.54to the last inequality, we obtain
lim
Let W be the mapping defined by2.6. Since {un} is bounded, applyingLemma 2.7and
3.57, we have
Wun−un ≤ Wun−WnunWnun−un → 0 asn → ∞. 3.58
Step 4. We claim that lim supn→ ∞A−γfz, z−xn ≤0,wherezis the unique solution of
the variational inequalityA−γfz, z−x ≥0, for allx∈Θ.
SincezPΘI−Aγfzis a unique solution of the variational inequality3.1, to show this inequality, we choose a subsequence{uni}of{un}such that
lim
i→ ∞
A−γf z, z−uni
lim sup
n→ ∞
A−γf z, z−un. 3.59
Since{uni}is bounded, there exists a subsequence{unij}of{uni}which converges weakly to
w ∈C. Without loss of generality, we can assume thatuni w.FromWun−un → 0,we
obtainWuni w. Next, We show thatw∈Θ, whereΘ:∩∞n1FTn∩EPF∩V IC, B. First, we show thatw∈EPF. SinceunTrnxn, we have

Sinceuni −xni/rni → 0 anduni w,it follows byA4thatFy, w≤0 for ally∈H.Fort
with 0< t≤1 andy∈H,letytty 1−tw.Sincey∈Handw∈H,we haveyt∈Hand
henceFyt, w≤0.So, fromA1andA4we have

and henceFyt, y≥0. FromA3, we haveFw, y≥0 for ally∈Hand hencew∈EPF.
Next, we show that w ∈ ∩∞n1FTn. By Lemma 2.6, we have FW ∩∞n1FTn.
Assumew /∈FW.Sinceuni wandw /Ww,it follows by the Opial’s condition that
lim inf
i→ ∞ uni−w<lim infi→ ∞ uni−Ww
≤lim inf
i→ ∞ {uni−WuniWuni−Ww}
≤lim inf
i→ ∞ uni−w,
which derives a contradiction. Thus, we havew ∈FW ∩n∞1FTn. By the same argument
as that in the proof of35, Theorem 2.1, Pages 10–11, we can show thatw∈V IC, B.Hence w∈Θ. SincezPΘI−Aγfz, it follows that

4. Application for Optimization Problem
In this section, we shall utilize the results presented in the paper to study the following optimization problem:
min hx,
x∈C. 4.1
wherehxis a convex and lower semicontinuous functional defined on a closed subsetCof a Hilbert spaceH. We denote byTthe set of solution of4.1. LetFbe a bifunction fromC×C toRdefined byFx, y hy−hx. We consider the following equilibrium problem, that is, to findx∈Csuch that
It is obvious thatEPF T, whereEPFdenotes the set of solution of equilibrium problem
4.2. In addition, it is easy to see thatFx, ysatisfies the conditionsA1–A4inSection 1. Therefore, from theCorollary 3.6, we know the following iterative sequence{xn}defined by
x1 ∈C chosen arbitrary,
hy −hun r1 n
y−un, un−xn
xn1nfxn βnxnγnun,
≥0, ∀y∈C 4.3
where{n},{βn}, and{γn}are three sequences in0,1,and{rn}is a real sequence in0,∞
satisfying the following conditions:
inβnγn1;
iilimn→ ∞n0 and∞n1n∞;
iii0<lim infn→ ∞βn≤lim supn→ ∞βn<1;
ivlim infn→ ∞rn>0 and limn→ ∞|rn1−rn|0.
Then,{xn}converges strongly to a pointzPTfzof optimization problem4.1.
In special case, we pickfx 0 for allx∈Handβn0,rn1 ,n1/2 for alln∈N,
thenxn11/2un, and from4.3we obtain a special iterative scheme
hy −hun
y−un, un−1
2un−1
≥0, ∀y∈C, n≥2,
hy −hu1 y−u1, u1−x1 ≥0, ∀y∈C.
4.4
Then,{un}converges strongly to a solutionzPT0 of optimization problem4.1. In fact, the
zis the minimum norm point on theT.
Therefore, we consider a special from of optimization problem 4.1 which is as follows:i.e., is takinghx x
min x,
x∈C. 4.5
In fact, the solution of optimization problem4.4is named the minimum norm point on the closed convex setC. From iterative algorithm4.4we obtain the following iterative algorithm4.5, and{un}is defined by
