We use the Wiener-Hopf equations and the Yosida approximation notions to prove the existence theorem of a system of nonlinear mixed implicit equilibrium problemsSMIEin Hilbert spaces. The algorithm for finding a solution of the problemSMIEis suggested; the convergence criteria and stability of the iterative algorithm are discussed. The results presented in this paper are more general and are viewed as an extension, refinement, and improvement of the previously known results in the literature.

1. Introduction and Preliminaries

LetHbe a real Hilbert space whose inner product and norm are denoted by·,·and · ,

respectively. LetF1, F2:H×HHbe given two bi-functions satisfyingFix, x 0 for all

xHandi1,2. LetT :H×HHbe a nonlinear mapping. LetCbe a nonempty closed

convex subset ofH. In this paper, we consider the following problem.

Findx, y∗∈Hsuch that

F1x, z

T1

x, y, zx0, zC,

F2

y, zT 2

x, y, zy0, zC. 1.1

The problem of type1.1is called the system of nonlinear mixed implicit equilibrium problems.

We denote by SMIEF1, F2, T1, T2, C the set of all solutions x, y∗ of the problem

(2)

Some examples of the problem1.1are as follows.

IIf Fix, z supξM

ixξ, zx, whereMi : C → 2

H is a maximal monotone

mapping fori1,2,then the problem1.1becomes the following problem.

Findx, y∗∈Hsuch that

0∈T1

x, yM 1x,

0∈T2

x, yM 2

which is called the system of variational inclusion problems. In particular, whenT1 T2and

M1 M2,the problem1.2is reduced to the problem, so-called the generalized variational

inclusion problem, which was studied by Kazmi and Bhat1.

It is worth noting that the variational inclusions and related problems are being studied extensively by many authors and have important applications in operations research, optimization, mathematical finance, decision sciences, and other several branches of pure and applied sciences.

IIIfFix, z ψizψixfor all x, zH, whereψi : H → Ris a real valued

Some corresponding results to the problem 1.3 were considered by Kassay and

Kolumb´an2whenψ1ψ20.

positive real numbers. IfT1x, y λS1y, x xyandT2x, y ηS2x, y yxfor all

which is called the system of nonlinear variational inequalities problems. Some corresponding

results to the problem1.6were studied by Agarwal et al. 4, Chang et al.5, Cho et al.

6, J. K. Kim and D. S. Kim,7and Verma8,9.

For the recent trends and developments in the problem1.6and its special cases, see

3,8–11and the references therein, for examples.

VIfS20, andS1:CHis a univariate mapping, then the problem1.6reduces

to the following problem.

Findx∗∈Hsuch that

S1x, zx∗ ≥0,zC, 1.7

which is known as the classical variational inequalityintroduced and studied by Stampacchia

12 in 1964. This shows that a number of classes of variational inequalities and related

optimization problems can be obtained as special cases of the system 1.1 of mixed

equilibrium problems.

Inspired and motivated by the recent research going on in this area, in this paper, we use the Wiener-Hopf equations and the Yosida approximation notion to suggest and

prove the existence and uniqueness of solutions for the problem1.1. We also discuss the

convergence criteria and stability of the iterative algorithm. The results presented in this paper improve and generalize many known results in the literature.

In the sequel, we need the following basic concepts and lemmas.

Definition 1.1Blum and Oettli13. A real valued bifunctionF:C×C → Ris said to be:

1monotoneif

Fx, yFy, x≤0,x, yC; 1.8

2strictly monotoneif

Definition 1.2. 1A functionf:H → R∪ {∞}is said to be lower semicontinuousatx0if, for

allα < fx0,there exists a constantβ >0 such that

αfx,xBx0, β

(4)

whereBx0, βdenotes the ball with centerx0and radiusβ, that is,

Bx0, β

y:yx0≤β

. 1.12

2The functionfis said to be lower semicontinuousonHif it is lower semicontinuous

at every point ofH.

Lemma 1.3Combettes and Hirstoaga14. LetCbe a nonempty closed convex subset ofHand Fbe a bifunction ofC×CintoRsatisfying the following conditions:

C1Fis monotone and upper hemicontinuous;

(C2)Fx,·is convex and lower semi-continuous for allxC. For allρ >0andxH, define a mappingTρF :HCas follows:

TF

ρx wC:ρFw, z wx, zw,zC,xH. 1.13

ThenTρF is a single-valued mapping.

Definition 1.4. Letρbe a positive number. For any bi-functionF :C×C → R,the associated

Yosida approximationoverCand the corresponding regularized operatorAFρare defined

as follows:

Fρx, z 1ρ

xJF ρx

in whichJρFxCis the unique solution of the following problem:

ρFJF ρx, z

JF

ρxx, zJρFx

≥0,zC. 1.15

Remark 1.5. Definition 1.4 is an extension of the Yosida approximation notion introduced

in 15. The existence and uniqueness of the solution of the problem 1.15 follow from

Lemma 1.3.

Definition 1.6. LetMH×Hbe a set-valued mapping.

1 Mis said to be monotoneif, for anyx1, y1,x2, y2∈M,

y1−y2, x1−x2

≥0. 1.16

2 A monotone operator MH ×H is said to be maximal if M is not properly

contained in any other monotone operators.

Example 1.7Huang et al.16. LetFx, z supξMxξ, zx,whereM : H → 2H is a maximal monotone mapping. Then it directly follows that

JF ρx

IρM−1x, AF

(5)

where : 1/ρIIρM−1is the Yosida approximation ofM,and we recover the

classical concepts.

Using the idea as in Huang et al.16, we have the following result.

Lemma 1.8. If F : C×C → Ris a monotone function, then the operatorJρF is a nonexpansive mapping, that is,

JF

ρxJρFyxy,x, yH. 1.18

Proof. From1.15, for allx, yH, we can obtain

1.22

This implies thatJρF is a nonexpansive mapping. This completes the proof.

Now, for solving the problem1.1, we consider the following equation: letx, y

H×Handρ1, ρ2be fixed positive real numbers. Findw1, w2∈H×Hsuch that

T1

that is,

Proof. The proof directly follows from the definitions ofJF1

In this paper, we are interested in the following class of nonlinear mappings.

2. Existence of Solutions of the Problem

1.1

In this section, we give an existence theorem of solutions for the problem1.1. Firstly, in view

ofLemma 1.9, we can obtain the following, which is an important tool, immediately.

Lemma 2.1. Letx, yH×H. Thenx, y ∈SMIEF1, F2, T1, T2, Cif and only if there exist

positive real numbersρ1, ρ2such thatx, yis a fixed point of the mappingGρ12 :H×HH×H

defined by

x, y, Bρ2

2

x, yJF2

ρ2

yρ2T2

x, y. 2.2

Now, we are in position to prove the existence theorem of solutions for the problem

1.1.

Theorem 2.2. For eachi1,2, letFi:H×H → Rbe a monotone bi-function. LetT1:H×HH

(7)

T2 : H×HH be aν2-strongly monotone with respect to the second argument andτ2, σ2

-Lipschitz mapping. Suppose that there are positive real numbersρ1, ρ2such that

1−2ρ1ν1ρ21τ12

1/2

ρ2τ2<1,

1−2ρ2ν2ρ22σ22

1/2

ρ1σ1<1.

2.3

ThenSMIE F1, F2, T1, T2, Cis a singleton.

Proof. Notice that, in view of Lemma 2.1, it is sufficient to show that the mapping Gρ12

defined in Lemma 2.1has the unique fixed point. SinceJF1

ρ1 is nonexpansive, we have the

following estimate:

SinceT1 : H×HH is aτ1, σ1-Lipschitz mapping and, for all wH, the mapping

T, w:HHis aν1-strongly monotone, we obtain

Consequently, from2.4-2.5, it follows that

. 2.9

Now, define the norm · onH×Hby

x, yxy, x, yH×H. 2.10

Notice thatH×H, · is a Banach space and

Gρ12x1, y1Gρ12x2, y2max{κ

1, κ2}x1, y1−x2, y2. 2.11

By the condition2.3, we have max{κ1, κ2} < 1, which implies that 12 is a contraction

mapping. Hence, by Banach contraction principle, there exists a uniquex, yH×Hsuch

that12x, y x, y.This completes the proof.

3. Convergence and Stability Analysis

In view ofLemma 2.1, for the fixed point formulation of the problem2.1, we suggest the

(9)

3.1. Mann Type Perturbed Iterative Algorithm (MTA)

For any x0, y0 ∈ H×H, compute approximate solutionxn, ynH ×H given by the

iterative schemes:

x0∈H,

xn1 1−αnxnαnJρF11

xnρ1T1

xn, yn,

yn1 1−αnynαnJF2

ρ2

ynρ2T2

xn, yn,n≥0,

3.1

where{αn}is a sequence of real numbers such thatαn∈0,1and∞n0αn.

In order to consider the convergence theorem of the sequences generated by the

algorithmMTA, we need the following lemma.

Lemma 3.1. Let{an}and{bn}be two nonnegative real sequences satisfying the following conditions. There exists a positive integern0such that

an1≤1−λnanbn,nn0, 3.2

where{λn} ⊂0,1withn0λnandbnoλn. Thenlimn→ ∞an0.

Now, we prove the convergence theorem for a solution for the problem1.1.

Theorem 3.2. If all the conditions of theTheorem 2.2hold, then the sequence{xn, yn}inH×H generated by the algorithm3.1converges strongly to the unique solution for the problem1.1.

Proof. It follows fromTheorem 2.2that there exists x, y∗ ∈ H×H which is the unique

solution for the problem1.1. Moreover, in view ofLemma 2.1, we have

xJF1

ρ1

xρ 1T1

x, y,

SinceJF1

ρ1 is nonexpansive, from the iterative sequences3.1and3.3, it follows that

Next, we have the following estimate:

Substituting3.5into3.4yields that

xn1−x∗ ≤1−αnxnxαn

1−2ρ1ν1ρ21τ12

Similarly, we have

yn1y1αny

3.7

Thus, from3.6and3.7, we have

xn1, yn1

x, y

≤1−αnxn, ynx, yαnmax{κ1, κ2}xn, ynx, y

1−αn1−max{κ1, κ2}xn, ynx, y,

3.8

whereκ1andκ2are given in2.9. Setting

anxn, ynx, y,

λnαn1−max{κ1, κ2}, bn0,n≥1.

3.9

From the condition2.3, it follows that max{κ1, κ2}<1 and so{λn} ⊂0,1. Moreover, since

n0αn ∞, we have

n0λn ∞. Hence all the conditions ofLemma 3.1are satisfied and

soan → 0 asn → ∞,that is,

xn, ynx, y−→0 n−→ ∞. 3.10

Thus the sequence{xn, yn}inH×Hconverges strongly to a solutionx, y∗for the problem

1.1. This completes the proof.

3.2. Stability of the Algorithm (MTA)

Consider the following definition as an extension of the concept of stability of the iterative

(11)

Definition 3.3Kazmi and Khan18. LetHbe a Hilbert space andA, B :H×HHbe

nonlinear mappings. LetG : H×HH×H be defined asGx, y Ax, y, Bx, y

for allx, yH×Handx0, y0∈H×H. Assume thatxn1, yn1 fG, xn, yndefines

an iterative procedure which yields a sequence {xn, yn} inH×H. Suppose thatFG

{x, yH×H:Gx, y x, y}/∅and the sequence{xn, yn}converges to somex, y∗∈

FG. Let{un, vn}be an arbitrary sequence inH×Hand

δnun, vnfG, xn, yn,n≥0. 3.11

If limn→ ∞δn 0 implies that limn→ ∞un, vn x, y∗, then the iterative procedure {xn, yn}is said to beG-stableor stablewith respect toG.

Theorem 3.4. Assume that all the conditions of Theorem 2.2 hold. Let {un, vn} be an arbitrary sequence inH×Hand define{δn} ⊂0,by

δnun1, vn1−Cn, Dn, 3.12

where

Cn 1−αnxnαnJF1

ρ1

xnρ1T1

xn, yn,

Dn 1−αnynαnJF2

ρ2

xn, yn,

3.13

where {xn, yn} is a sequence defined in 3.1. If Gρ12 is defined as in 2.1, then the iterative procedure generated by3.1isGρ12-stable.

Proof. Assume that limn→ ∞δn0. Letx, y∗be the unique fixed point of the mapping12. This means that

xJF1

ρ1

xρ 1T1

Now, from3.12and3.13, it follows that

Notice thatCn, Dn {xn1, yn1}for eachn≥1, which implies that

Using3.16and the assumption limn→ ∞δn0, it follows from3.15that
