We introduce new general iterative approximation methods for finding a common fixed point of a countable family of nonexpansive mappings. Strong convergence theorems are established in the framework of reflexive Banach spaces which admit a weakly continuous duality mapping. Finally, we apply our results to solve the the equilibrium problems and the problem of finding a zero of an accretive operator. The results presented in this paper mainly improve on the corresponding results reported by many others.

1. Introduction

In recent years, the existence of common fixed points for a finite family of nonexpansive mappings has been considered by many authorssee1–4and the references therein. The

well-known convex feasibility problem reduces to finding a point in the intersection of the fixed point sets of a family of nonexpansive mappingssee5,6. The problem of finding

an optimal point that minimizes a given cost function over the common set of fixed points of a family of nonexpansive mappings is of wide interdisciplinary interest and practical importance see 2, 7. A simple algorithmic solution to the problem of minimizing a

quadratic function over the common set of fixed points of a family of nonexpansive mappings is of extreme value in many applications including set theoretic signal estimationsee7,8.

LetEbe a normed linear space. Recall that a mappingT :EEis callednonexpansive

if

(2)

We useFTto denote the set of fixed points ofT, that is,FT {xE : Tx x}. A self mappingf:EEis a contraction onEif there exists a constantα∈0,1such that

fxf

yαxy,x, yE. 1.2

One classical way to study nonexpansive mappings is to use contractions to approximate a nonexpansive mapping9–11. More precisely, take t ∈ 0,1 and define a contractionTt:EEby

Ttxtu 1−tTx,xE, 1.3

whereuEis a fixed point. Banach’s contraction mapping principle guarantees thatTthas a unique fixed pointxtinE. It is unclear, in general, what is the behavior ofxtast → 0, even if

T has a fixed point. However, in the case ofT having a fixed point, Browder9proved that ifEis a Hilbert space, then{xt}converges strongly to a fixed point ofT. Reich10extended Browder’s result to the setting of Banach spaces and proved that ifEis a uniformly smooth Banach space, then{xt} converges strongly to a fixed point of T and the limit defines the uniquesunny nonexpansive retraction fromE ontoFT. Xu 11 proved Reich’s results hold in reflexive Banach spaces which have a weakly continuous duality mapping.

The iterative methods for nonexpansive mappings have recently been applied to solve convex minimization problems; see, for example,12–14and the references therein. LetHbe a real Hilbert space, whose inner product and norm are denoted by·,·and·, respectively. LetAbe a strongly positive bounded linear operator onH; that is, there is a constantγ >0 with property

Ax, xγx2,xH. 1.4

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 xFT

wherebis a given point inH. In 2003, Xu13proved that the sequence{xn}defined by the iterative method below, with the initial guessx0∈Hchosen arbitrarily

xn1 IαnATxnαnu, n≥0 1.6

converges strongly to the unique solution of the minimization problem 1.5 provided the sequence {αn}satisfies certain conditions. Using the viscosity approximation method, Moudafi15introduced the following iterative process for nonexpansive mappingssee16

for further developments in both Hilbert and Banach spaces. Letf be a contraction onH. Starting with an arbitrary initialx0∈H, define a sequence{xn}recursively by

(3)

where {σn} is a sequence in 0,1. It is proved 15, 16 that under certain appropriate conditions imposed on{σn}, the sequence{xn}generated by1.7strongly converges to the unique solutionx∗inCof the variational inequality

Ifx, xx∗≥0, xH. 1.8

Recently, Marino and Xu 17 mixed the iterative method 1.6 and the viscosity appro-ximation method1.7and considered the following general iterative method:

xn1 IαnATxnαnγfxn, n≥0, 1.9

where A is a strongly positive bounded linear operator on H. They proved that if the sequence{αn}of parameters satisfies the following conditions:

C1limn→ ∞αn0, C2∞n1αn∞, C3∞

n1|αn1−αn|<∞,

then the sequence{xn}generated by1.9converges strongly to the unique solutionx∗inH of the variational inequality

Aγfx, xx∗≥0, xH, 1.10

which is the optimality condition for the minimization problem: minx∈C1/2Ax, xhx, wherehis a potential function forγf i.e., hx γfxforxH.

On the other hand, in order to find a fixed point of nonexpansive mappingT, Halpern 18was the first who introduced the following iteration scheme which was referred to as Halpern iteration in a Hilbert space:x, x0∈C,{αn} ⊂0,1,

xn1 αnx 1−αnTxn, n≥0. 1.11

He pointed out that the control conditionsC1limn→ ∞αn 0 andC2∞n1αn ∞are necessary for the convergence of the iteration scheme1.11to a fixed point ofT. Furthermore, the modified version of Halpern iteration was investigated widely by many mathematicians. Recently, for the sequence of nonexpansive mappings{Tn}∞n1with some special conditions,

Aoyama et al. 1 studied the strong convergence of the following modified version of Halpern iteration forx0, xC:

xn1αnx 1−αnTnxn, n≥0, 1.12

where C is a nonempty closed convex subset of a uniformly convex Banach space E

whose norm is uniformly G´ateaux differentiable,{αn}is a sequence in0,1satisfyingC1 limn→ ∞ αn0,C2

n1αn∞, and eitherC3

n1|αnαn1|<∞orC3

αn∈0,1for alln∈Nand limn→ ∞αn/αn1 1. Very recently, Song and Zheng19also introduced the

(4)

strong convergence theorems of the modified Halpern iteration1.12and the sequence{yn} defined by

y0, yC, yn1Tn

αny 1−αnyn

, n≥0, 1.13

in a reflexive Banach spaceEwith a weakly continuous duality mapping and in a reflexive strictly convex Banach space with a uniformly G´ateaux differentiable norm.

Other investigations of approximating common fixed points for a countable family of nonexpansive mappings can be found in1,20–24and many results not cited here.

In a Banach spaceEhaving a weakly continuous duality mapping with a gauge functionϕ, an operatorAis said to be strongly positive 25if there exists a constantγ >0 with the property

Ax, Jϕx

γxϕx, 1.14

αIβA sup x≤1

αIβA

x, Jϕx, α∈0,1, β∈−1,1, 1.15

whereIis the identity mapping. IfE: His a real Hilbert space, then the inequality1.14

reduces to1.4.

In this paper, motivated by Aoyama et al. 1, Song and Zheng 19, and Marino

and Xu17, we will combine the iterative method1.12with the viscosity approximation method1.9and consider the following three new general iterative methods in a reflexive Banach spaceEwhich admits a weakly continuous duality mappingwith gaugeϕ:

where A is strongly positive defined by 1.15, {Tn : EE} is a countable family of nonexpansive mappings, and f is an α-contraction. We will prove in Section 3 that if the sequence {αn} of parameters satisfies the appropriate conditions, then the sequences

{xn},{zn}, and{yn}converge strongly to the unique solutionxof the variational inequality

2. Preliminaries

Throughout this paper, letEbe a real Banach space, andE∗be its dual space. We writexn x resp.,xnxto indicate that the sequence{xn}weaklyresp., weak∗converges tox; as usualxnxwill symbolize strong convergence. LetU{xE:x1}. A Banach space

Eis said touniformly convexif, for any∈0,2, there existsδ >0 such that, for anyx, yU,

xyimpliesxy/2 ≤1−δ. It is known that a uniformly convex Banach space is reflexive and strictly convexsee also26. A Banach spaceEis said to besmoothif the limit limt→0xtyx/texists for allx, yU. It is also said to beuniformly smoothif the

limit is attained uniformly forx, yU.

By a gauge functionϕ, we mean a continuous strictly increasing functionϕ:0,∞ →

0,∞such thatϕ0 0 andϕt → ∞ast → ∞. LetE∗be the dual space ofE. The duality mapping:E → 2E

associated to a gauge functionϕis defined by

Jϕx

f∗∈E∗:x, fxϕx, fϕx,xE. 2.1

In particular, the duality mapping with the gauge function ϕt t, denoted by J, is referred to as the normalized duality mapping. Clearly, there holds the relation Jϕx ϕx/xJxfor allx /0 see27. Browder27initiated the study of certain classes of nonlinear operators by means of the duality mapping. Following Browder27, we say that a Banach space Ehas a weakly continuous duality mappingif there exists a gauge ϕ for which the duality mappingJϕxis single valued and continuous from the weak topology to the weak∗ topology, that is, for any{xn}withxn x, the sequence{Jϕxn}converges weakly∗toJϕx. It is known thatlphas a weakly continuous duality mapping with a gauge functionϕt tp−1for all 1< p <∞. Set

Now, we collect some useful lemmas for proving the convergence result of this paper. The first part of the next lemma is an immediate consequence of the subdifferential inequality and the proof of the second part can be found in28.

Lemma 2.1see28. Assume that a Banach spaceEhas a weakly continuous duality mappingJϕ

with gaugeϕ.

Φxy≤Φx y, Jϕ

In particular, for allx, yE,

then the following identity holds:

Lemma 2.2see1, Lemma 2.3. Let{an}be a sequence of nonnegative real numbers such that

where{αn},{bn},{cn}satisfying the restrictions i∞n1αn;ii

n1bn<;iiilim supn→ ∞cn≤0.

Then,limn→ ∞an0.

Definition 2.3see1. Let{Tn}be a family of mappings from a subsetCof a Banach spaceE intoEwith∞n1FTn/∅. We say that{Tn}satisfies the AKTT-condition if for each bounded subsetBofC,

n1

sup zB

Tn1zTnz<. 2.8

Remark 2.4. The example of the sequence of mappings {Tn} satisfying AKTT-condition is supported byLemma 4.6.

Lemma 2.5see1, Lemma 3.2. Suppose that{Tn}satisfies AKTT-condition, then, for eachy

C,{Tny}converses strongly to a point inC. Moreover, let the mappingTbe defined by

Ty lim

n→ ∞Tny,yC. 2.9

Then, for each bounded subsetBofC,limn→ ∞supzBTzTnz0.

The next valuable lemma was proved by Wangkeeree et al.25. Here, we present the

proof for the sake of completeness.

Lemma 2.6. Assume that a Banach spaceEhas a weakly continuous duality mappingJϕwith gauge

Proof. From 1.15, we obtain thatA supx1|Ax, Jϕx|. Now, for any xE with

x1, we see that

That is,IρAis positive. It follows that

LetEbe a Banach space which admits a weakly continuous duality with gaugeϕ such thatϕis invariant on0,1that is,ϕ0,1⊂ 0,1. LetT :EEbe a nonexpansive mapping,t ∈ 0,1,f anα-contraction, andAa strongly positive bounded linear operator with coefficientγ >0 and 0< γ < γϕ1. Define the mappingSt:EEby

Stx tγfx ItATx,xE. 2.12

Then,Stis a contraction mapping. Indeed, for anyx, yE,

Thus, by Banach contraction mapping principle, there exists a unique fixed pointxtinE, that is

xttγfxt ItATxt. 2.14

Remark 2.7. We note thatlpspace has a weakly continuous duality mapping with a gauge functionϕt tp−1for all 1< p <. This shows thatϕis invariant on0,1.

Lemma 2.8 see 25, Lemma 3.3. Let E be a reflexive Banach space which admits a weakly continuous duality mapping with gauge ϕ such thatϕ is invariant on0,1. Let T : EE

be a nonexpansive mapping withFT/,f anα-contraction, andAa strongly positive bounded linear operator with coefficient γ > 0 and0 < γ < γϕ1/α. Then, the net{xt}defined by 2.14

converges strongly ast → 0to a fixed pointxofT which solves the variational inequality

3. Main Results

We now state and prove the main theorems of this section.

Theorem 3.1. LetEbe a reflexive Banach space which admits a weakly continuous duality mapping

with gaugeϕsuch thatϕis invariant on0,1. Let{Tn : EE}∞n0 be a countable family of

nonexpansive mappings satisfyingF :∞n0FTn/. Letf be anα-contraction andAa strongly positive bounded linear operator with coefficientγ >0and0 < γ < γϕ1/α. Let the sequence{xn}

Therefore,Tww, and hencewFT. Since the duality mapis single valued and weakly continuous, we obtain, by3.1, that

Hence, the sequence{yn}converges strongly tox. This competes the proof.

-Mappings

LetT1, T2, . . .be infinite mappings ofCinto itself, and let{ξi}be a nonnegative real sequence with 0≤ξi<1, for all i≥1. For anyn∈N, define a mappingWnofCinto itself as follows:

Un,n1I,

Un,nξnTnUn,n1 1−ξnI,

Un,n−1ξn−1Tn−1Un,n 1−ξn−1I,

.. .

Un,kξkTkUn,k1 1−ξkI,

.. .

Un,2μ2T2Un,3 1−ξ2I,

WnUn,1ξ1T1Un,2 1−ξ1I.

4.1

Nonexpansivity of each Ti ensures the nonexpansivity ofWn. The mappingWn is called a

W-mapping generated byT1, T2, . . . , Tnandξ1, ξ2, . . . , ξn.

Throughout this section, we will assume that 0< ξnξ <1,for alln≥1. Concerning

Wndefined by4.1, we have the following useful lemmas.

Lemma 4.1see 4. LetC be a nonempty closed convex subset of a a strictly convex, reflexive Banach spaceE,{Ti:CC}a family of infinitely nonexpansive mapping withi1FTi/, and

{ξi}a real sequence such that0< ξiξ <1, for alli≥1, then: 1Wnis nonexpansive andFWn

is a nonexpansive mapping satisfyingFWi1FTi, and it is called theW-mapping generated

(16)

From Remark 3.1 of Peng and Yao29, we obtain the following lemma.

Lemma 4.2. LetEbe a strictly convex, reflexive Banach space,{Ti : EE}a family of infinitely

nonexpansive mappings withi1FTi/, and {ξi} a real sequence such that 0 < ξiξ < 1,

for alli≥1. Then sequence{Wn}satisfies theAKTT-condition.

ApplyingLemma 4.2andTheorem 3.1, we obtain the following result.

Theorem 4.3. LetEbe a reflexive Banach space which admits a weakly continuous duality mapping

with gaugeϕsuch thatϕis invariant on0,1. Let{Tn : EE}∞n1 be a countable family of

nonexpansive mappings withF :∞n1FTn/andf anα-contraction andAa strongly positive bounded linear operator with coefficient γ > 0 and 0 < γ < γϕ1/α. Let the sequence {xn} be

where{Wn}is defined by4.1and{αn}is a sequence in0,1satisfying the conditions (C1), (C2),

and (C3). Then{xn}converges strongly toxinF.

4.2. Accretive Operators

We consider the problem of finding a zero of an accretive operator. An operatorΨ⊂E×Eis said to be accretive if for eachx1, y1andx2, y2∈Ψ, there existsjJx1−x2such thaty1−

y2, j ≥0. An accretive operatorΨis said to satisfy the range condition ifDΨ⊂RIλΨ

(17)

and FJλ Ψ−10 for allλ > 0. We also know the following 30: for each λ, μ > 0 and

xRIλΨRIμΨ, it holds that

JλxJμx λμ

λ xJλx. 4.6

From the Resolvent identity, we have the following lemma.

Lemma 4.6. LetEbe a Banach space andCa nonempty closed convex subset ofE. LetΨ⊆E×Ebe an accretive operator such thatΨ−10

/

andDΨ⊂ Cλ>0RIλΨ. Suppose that{λn}is a

sequence of0,such thatinf{λn :n∈N}>0and

n1|λn1−λn|<, then ithe sequence{Jλn}satisfies AKTT-condition,

iilimn→ ∞JλnzJλzfor allzCandFJλ

n1FJλn, whereλnλasn → ∞.

Proof. By the proof of Theorem 4.3 in1and applyingLemma 4.6andTheorem 3.1, we obtain the following result.

Theorem 4.7. LetEbe a reflexive Banach space which admits a weakly continuous duality mapping

with gauge ϕ such that ϕ is invariant on 0,1. LetΨ : DΨ ⊂ E → 2E be an accretive

operator such thatΨ−10

where{αn}is a sequence in0,1satisfying the following conditions (C1), (C2), and (C3), then{xn}

converges strongly toxinΨ−10.

ApplyingLemma 4.6andTheorem 3.3, we obtain the following result.

Theorem 4.8. LetE,Ψ,K,f,A,{αn}, and{λn}be as inTheorem 4.7. Let{zn}be generated by the

4.3. The Equilibrium Problems

LetHbe a real Hilbert space, and letFbe a bifunction ofH×H → R, whereRis the set of real numbers. The equilibrium problem forF :H×H → Ris to findxHsuch that

Fx, y≥0,yH. 4.10

The set of solutions of4.10is denoted by EPF. Given a mappingT :HH, letFx, y

Tx, yxfor allx, yH. Then,z∈EPFif and only ifTx, yz ≥0 for allyH, that is,

zis a solution of the variational inequality. Numerous problems in physics, optimization, and economics reduce to find a solution of4.10. Some methods have been proposed to solve the

equilibrium problem; see, for instance, Blum and Oettli31and Combettes and Hirstoaga 32. For the purpose of solving the equilibrium problem for a bifunctionF, let us assume thatFsatisfies the following conditions:

A1Fx, x0 for allxH,

A2Fis monotone, that is,Fx, y Fy, x≤0 for allx, yH, A3for eachx, y, zH,limt→0Ftz 1−tx, yFx, y,

A4for eachxH, yFx, yis convex and lower semicontinuous.

The following lemmas were also given in31,32, respectively.

Lemma 4.10see31, Corollary 1. LetCbe a nonempty closed convex subset ofH, and letFbe a bifunction ofC×C → RsatisfyingA1–A4. Letr >0andxH, then there existszCsuch thatFz, y 1/ryz, zx ≥0for allyC.

Lemma 4.11see32, Lemma 2.12. Assume thatF :C×C∈RsatisfiesA1–A4. Forr >0

andxH, define a mappingTr :HCas follows:

Trx

then, the following hold:

1Tr is single valued,

2Tr is firmly nonexpansive, that is, for anyx, yH,TrxTry2≤ TrxTry, xy, 3FTr EPF,

4EPFis closed and convex.

Theorem 4.12. LetHbe a real Hilbert space. LetF be a bifunction fromH×H → Rsatisfying (A1)–(A4) andEPF/. Letf be anα-contraction,Aa strongly positive bounded linear operator with coefficientγ >0and0< γ < γ/α. Let the sequences{xn},{un}be generated byx0∈Hand

This completes the proof.

ApplyingTheorem 4.12, we can obtain the following result.

Corollary 4.13. LetHbe a real Hilbert space. LetF be a bifunction fromH×H → Rsatisfying (A1)–(A4) andEPF/. Letf be anα-contraction,Aa strongly positive bounded linear operator with coefficientγ >0and0< γ < γ/α. Let the sequences{zn},{un}be generated byz0∈Hand

then{zn}and{un}converge strongly toxEPF.

Proof. We observe thatun Trnznfor alln≥0. Then we rewrite the iterative sequence4.31

Let{xn}be the sequence given byx0z0and
