Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to introduce and consider a new hybrid shrinking projection algorithm for finding a common element of the set of solutions of a system of equilibrium problems, the set of solutions of a system of variational inequality problems, the set of solutions of a system of optimization problems, the common fixed point set of a uniformly closed family of countable quasi-Bregman strictly pseudocontractive mappings in reflexive Banach spaces. Strong convergence theorems have been proved under the appropriate conditions. The main innovative points in this paper are as follows: (1) the notion of the uniformly closed family of countable quasi-Bregman strictly pseudocontractive mappings is presented and the useful conclusions are given; (2) the relative examples of the uniformly closed family of countable quasi-Bregman strictly pseudocontractive mappings are given in classical Banach spacesl2andL2; (3) the hybrid shrinking projection method presented in this paper modified some mistakes in the recent result of Ugwunnadi et al.(Fixed Point Theory Appl. 2014:231, 2014). These new results improve and extend the previously known ones in the literature.

1 Introduction

LetCbe a nonempty subset of a real Banach space andTbe a mapping fromCinto itself. We denote byF(T) the set of fixed points ofT. Recall thatTis said to be asymptotically nonexpansive [] if there exists a sequence{kn} ⊂[, +∞) withlimn→∞kn=  such that

TnxTnyknxy, ∀x,yC,n≥.

(2)

It is well known thatTis said to be nonexpansive if

TxTyxy, ∀x,yC.

In the framework of Hilbert spaces, Takahashiet al.[] have introduced a new hybrid iterative scheme called a shrinking projection method for nonexpansive mappings. It is an advantage of projection methods that the strong convergence of iterative sequences is guaranteed without any compact assumption. Moreover, Schu [] has introduced a modi-fied Mann iteration to approximate fixed points of asymptotically nonexpansive mappings in uniformly convex Banach spaces. Motivated by [, ], Inchan [] has introduced a new hybrid iterative scheme by using the shrinking projection method with the modified Mann iteration for asymptotically nonexpansive mappings. The mappingTis said to be asymp-totically nonexpansive in the intermediate sense (cf.[]) if

lim sup

TnxTnyxy. (.)

IfF(T) is nonempty and (.) holds for allxCandyF(T), thenTis said to be asymptot-ically quasi-nonexpansive in the intermediate sense. It is worth mentioning that the class of asymptotically nonexpansive mappings in the intermediate sense contains properly the class of asymptotically nonexpansive mappings since the mappings in the intermediate sense are not Lipschitz continuous in general.

Recently, many authors have studied further new hybrid iterative schemes in the frame-work of real Banach spaces; for instance, see [–]. Qin and Wang [] have introduced a new class of mappings which are asymptotically quasi-nonexpansive with respect to the Lyapunov functional (cf.[]) in the intermediate sense. By using the shrinking projection method, Hao [] has proved a strong convergence theorem for an asymptotically quasi-nonexpansive mapping with respect to the Lyapunov functional in the intermediate sense. In , Bregman [] discovered an elegant and effective technique for using of the so-called Bregman distance function (see Section ) in the process of designing and analyzing feasibility and optimization algorithms. This opened a growing area of research in which Bregman’s technique is applied in various ways in order to design and analyze not only iterative algorithms for solving feasibility and optimization problems, but also algorithms for solving variational inequalities, for approximating equilibria, and for computing fixed points of nonlinear mappings.

Many authors have studied iterative methods for approximating fixed points of map-pings of nonexpansive type with respect to the Bregman distance; see [–]. In [], the author introduced a new class of nonlinear mappings which is an extension of asymp-totically quasi-nonexpansive mappings with respect to the Bregman distance in the in-termediate sense and proved the strong convergence theorems for asymptotically quasi-nonexpansive mappings with respect to Bregman distances in the intermediate sense by using the shrinking projection method.

mappings. Shahzad and Zegeye [] proved a strong convergence theorem for multival-ued Bregman relatively nonexpansive mappings, while Zegeye and Shahzad [] proved a strong convergence theorem for a finite family of Bregman weak relatively nonexpansive mappings.

Motivated and inspired by the above works, in  Ugwunnadiet al.[] proved a new strong convergence theorem for a finite family of closed quasi-Bregman strictly pseudo-contractive mappings and a system of equilibrium problems in a real reflexive Banach space.

The purpose of this paper is to introduce and consider a new hybrid shrinking projection algorithm for finding a common element of the set of solutions of a system of equilibrium problems, the set of solutions of a system of variational inequality problems, the set of so-lutions of a system of optimization problems, the common fixed point set of a uniformly closed family of countable quasi-Bregman strictly pseudocontractive mappings in reflex-ive Banach spaces. Strong convergence theorems have been proved under the appropriate conditions. The main innovative points in this paper are as follows: () the notion of uni-formly closed family of countable quasi-Bregman strictly pseudocontractive mappings is presented and the useful conclusions are given; () the relative examples of the uniformly closed family of countable quasi-Bregman strictly pseudocontractive mappings are given in classical Banach spaceslandL; () the hybrid shrinking projection method presented in this paper modified some mistakes in the recent result of Ugwunnadiet al.[]. These new results improve and extend the previously known ones in the literature.

2 Preliminaries

Throughout this paper, we assume thatEis a real reflexive Banach space with the dual space ofE∗and·,·is the pairing betweenEandE∗.

Letf :E→(–∞, +∞] be a function. The effective domain off is defined by

domf :=xE:f(x) < +∞.

Whendomf =∅, we say thatfis proper. We denote byint domf the interior of the effective domain off. We denote byranf the range off.

The functionf is said to be strongly coercive if

lim

x→∞ f(x)

x = +∞.

Given a proper and convex functionf :E→(–∞, +∞], the subdifferential off is a map-ping∂f :EE∗defined by

∂f(x) =x∗∈E∗:f(y)≥f(x) +x∗,yx,∀yE

for allxE.

The Fenchel conjugate function off is the convex functionf∗:E→(–∞, +∞) defined by

(4)

We know thatx∗∈∂f(x) if and only if

f(x) +fx∗=x∗,x

for allxE(see []).

Proposition . ([]) Let f :E → (–∞, +∞] be a proper, convex, and lower semi-continuous function.Then the following conditions are equivalent:

(i) ran∂f =Eand∂f∗= (∂f)–is bounded on bounded subsets ofE;

(ii) f is strongly coercive.

Letf :E→(–∞, +∞] be a convex function andx∈int domf. For anyyE, we define the right-hand derivative off atxin the directionyby

f◦(x,y) =lim

t↓

f(x+ty) –f(x)

t . (.)

The functionf is said to be Gâteaux differentiable atxif the limit (.) exists for anyy. In this case, the gradient off atxis the function∇f(x) :EE∗defined by∇f(x),y=f◦(x,y) for allyE. The functionfis said to be Gâteaux differentiable if it is Gâteaux differentiable at eachx∈int domf. If the limit (.) is attained uniformly iny= , then the function

f is said to be Fréchet differentiable atx. The functionf is said to be uniformly Fréchet differentiable on a subsetCofEif the limit (.) is attained uniformly forxCandy= . We know that iff is uniformly Fréchet differentiable on bounded subsets ofE, thenf is uniformly continuous on bounded subsets ofE(cf.[, ]). We will need the following results.

Proposition .([]) If a function f:ER is convex,uniformly Fréchet differentiable,

and bounded on bounded subsets of E,thenf is uniformly continuous on bounded subsets of E from the strong topology of E to the strong topology of E∗.

Proposition .([]) Let f :ER be a convex function which is bounded on bounded subsets of E.Then the following assertions are equivalent:

(i) f is strongly coercive and uniformly convex on bounded subsets ofE;

(ii) fis Fréchet differentiable andfis uniformly norm-to-norm continuous on bounded subsets ofdomf∗=E∗.

A functionf :E→(–∞, +∞] is said to be admissible if it is proper, convex, and lower semi-continuous on E and Gâteaux differentiable on int domf. Under these conditions we know thatf is continuous inint domf,∂f is single-valued and∂f =∇f; see [, ]. An admissible functionf :E→(–∞, +∞] is called Legendre (cf.[]) if it satisfies the following two conditions:

(L) the interior of the domain off,int domf, is nonempty,f is Gâteaux differentiable, anddom∇f =int domf;

(5)

Letf be a Legendre function onE. SinceEis reflexive, we always have∇f = (∇f∗)–. This fact, when combined with conditions (L) and (L), implies the following equalities:

ran∇f =domf∗=int domf∗ and ran∇f∗=domf =int domf.

Conditions (L) and (L) imply that the functionsf andf∗are strictly convex on the inte-rior of their respective domains. In [], authors gave an example of the Legendre function. Letf :E→(–∞, +∞] be a convex function onE which is Gâteaux differentiable on int domf. The bifunctionDf :domf ×int domf →[, +∞) given by

Df(x,y) =f(x) –f(y) –xy,∇f(y)

is called the Bregman distance with respect tof (cf.[]). In general, the Bregman dis-tance is not a metric since it is not symmetric and does not satisfy the triangle inequality. However, it has the following important property, which is called the three point identity (cf.[]): for anyx∈domf andy,z∈int domf,

Df(x,y) +Df(y,z) –Df(x,z) =xy,∇f(z) –∇f(y). (.) With a Legendre functionf :E→(–∞, +∞], we associate the bifunctionWf :domf∗×

domf →[, +∞) defined by

Wf(w,x) =f(x) –w,x+f∗(w).

Proposition . ([]) Let f :E→(–∞, +∞]be a Legendre function such thatfis bounded on bounded subsets ofint domf∗.Let x∈int domf.If the sequence{Df(x,xn)}is bounded,then the sequence{xn}is also bounded.

Proposition .([]) Let f :E→(–∞, +∞]be a Legendre function.Then the following statements hold:

(i) the functionWf(·,x)is convex for allxdomf;

(ii) Wf(f(x),y) =Df(y,x)for allxint domf andydomf.

Letf :E→(–∞, +∞] be a convex function onE which is Gâteaux differentiable on int domf. The functionf is said to be totally convex at a pointx∈int domf if its modulus of total convexity atx,vf(x,·) : [, +∞)→[, +∞], defined by

vf(x,t) =infDf(y,x) :y∈domf,yx=t,

is positive whenevert> . The functionf is said to be totally convex when it is totally convex at every point ofint domf. The functionf is said to be totally convex on bounded sets if, for any nonempty bounded setBE, the modulus of total convexity off onB,

vf(B,t) is positive for anyt> , wherevf(B,·) : [, +∞)→[, +∞] is defined by

vf(B,t) =infvf(x,t) :xB∩int domf.

(6)

Proposition .([]) Let f :E→(–∞, +∞]be a convex function whose domain contains at least two points.If f is lower semi-continuous,then f is totally convex on bounded sets if and only if f is uniformly convex on bounded sets.

Proposition .([]) Let f:ER be a totally convex function.If xE and the sequence

{Df(xn,x)}is bounded,then the sequence{xn}is also bounded.

Let f :E →[, +∞) be a convex function on E which is Gâteaux differentiable on int domf. The functionf is said to be sequentially consistent (cf. []) if for any two sequences {xn} and{yn} in int domf and domf, respectively, such that the first one is bounded,

lim

n→∞Df(yn,xn) =  ⇒ nlim→∞ynxn= .

Proposition .([]) A function f:E→[, +∞)is totally convex on bounded subsets of E if and only if it is sequentially consistent.

LetCbe a nonempty, closed, and convex subset ofE. Letf :E→(–∞, +∞] be a con-vex function onEwhich is Gâteaux differentiable onint domf. The Bregman projection projfC(x) with respect tof (cf.[]) ofx∈int domf ontoCis the minimizer overCof the functionalDf(·,x) :→[, +∞], that is,

projfC(x) =argminDf(y,x) :yC

.

LetEbe a Banach space with dualE∗. We denote byJthe normalized duality mapping fromEto Edefined by

Jx=fE∗:x,f=x=f,

where·,·denotes the generalized duality pairing. It is well known that ifEis smooth, thenJis single-valued.

Proposition .([]) Let f:ER be an admissible,strongly coercive,and strictly con-vex function.Let C be a nonempty,closed,and convex subset ofdomf.ThenprojfC(x)exists uniquely for all x∈int domf.

Letf(x) = x.

(i) IfEis a Hilbert space, then the Bregman projection is reduced to the metric projection ontoC.

(ii) IfEis a smooth Banach space, then the Bregman projection is reduced to the generalized projectionC(x)which is defined by

C(x) =argmin

φ(y,x) :yC,

whereφis the Lyapunov functional (cf.[]) defined by

(7)

Proposition .([]) Let f :E→(–∞, +∞]be a totally convex function.Let C be a nonempty,closed,and convex subset ofint domf and x∈int domf.If x∗∈C,then the fol-lowing statements are equivalent:

(i) The vectorxis the Bregman projection ofxontoC.

(ii) The vectorxis the unique solutionzof the variational inequality

zy,∇f(x) –∇f(z)≥, ∀yC.

(iii) The vectorxis the unique solutionzof the inequality

Df(y,z) +Df(z,x)≤Df(y,x), ∀yC.

In recent years, the following notions have been presented by some authors.

A pointpCis said to be asymptotic fixed point of a mapTif there exists a sequence

{xn}inCwhich converges weakly topsuch thatlimn→∞xnTxn= . We denote byF(T)

the set of asymptotic fixed points ofT. A pointpCis said to be strong asymptotic fixed point [] of a mappingT if there exists a sequence{xn}inCwhich converges strongly

to psuch thatlimn→∞xnTxn= . We denote byF(T) the set of strong asymptotic

fixed points ofT. Letf :ER, a mappingT:CCis said to be Bregman relatively nonexpansive [] ifF(T) =F(T) andDf(p,T(x))≤Df(p,x) for allxCandpF(T). The mappingT:CCis said to be Bregman weak relatively nonexpansive ifF(T) =F(T) andDf(p,T(x))≤Df(p,x) for allxC andpF(T). The mappingT:CC is said to be quasi-Bregman relatively nonexpansive [] ifF(T)=∅andDf(p,T(x))≤Df(p,x)

for allxC andpF(T). In [] quasi-Bregman relatively nonexpansive is called left quasi-Bregman relatively nonexpansive. A mappingT:CCis said to be right quasi-Bregman relatively nonexpansive [] ifF(T)=∅andDf(T(x),p)≤Df(x,p) for allxC

andpF(T).

In [], authors presented the definition of quasi-Bregman strictly pseudocontractive mapping. In this paper, we extend this definition to the quasi-Bregman pseudocontractive mapping as follows.

Definition . Let C be a nonempty, closed, and convex subset of E and f : E

(–∞, +∞] be an admissible function. Let T be a mapping from C into itself with a nonempty fixed point setF(T). The mappingT is said to be quasi-Bregmank -pseudo-contractive if there exists a constantk∈[, +∞) such that

Df(p,Tx)≤Df(p,x) +kDf(x,Tx), ∀pF(T),∀xC.

Ifk∈[, ), the mappingTis said to be quasi-Bregman strictly pseudocontractive. Ifk= , the mappingTis said to be quasi-Bregman pseudocontractive. The mappingTis said to be Bregman quasi-nonexpansive if

Df(p,Tx)≤Df(p,x), ∀pF(T),∀xC.

Definition . ([]) LetC be a nonempty, closed, and convex subset ofE. Let{Tn}

be a sequence of mappings fromCinto itself with a nonempty common fixed point set

F=∞n=F(Tn).{Tn}is said to be uniformly closed if for any convergent sequence{zn} ⊂C

such thatTnznzn → asn→ ∞, the limit of{zn}belongs toF.

The next lemmas have been proved in [], which is useful for the results of [], but in this paper we do not use Lemma . and Lemma ..

Lemma .([]) Let f :ER be a Legendre function which is uniformly Fréchet dif-ferentiable and bounded on subsets of E,let C be a nonempty,closed,and convex subset of E,and let T:CC be a quasi-Bregman strictly pseudocontractive mapping with respect to f.Then,for any xC,pF(T)and k∈[, ),the following holds:

Df(x,Tx)≤   –k

f(x) –∇f(Tx),xp.

Lemma .([]) Let f :ER be a Legendre function which is uniformly Fréchet differ-entiable on bounded subsets of E,let C be a nonempty,closed,and convex subset of E,and let T:CC be a quasi-Bregman strictly pseudocontractive mapping with respect to f.

Then F(T)is closed and convex.

Lemma .([]) Let E be a real reflexive Banach space,f :E→(–∞, +∞]be a proper lower semi-continuous function,then f∗:E∗→(–∞, +∞]is a proper weaklower semi-continuous and convex function.Thus,for all zE,we have

LetEbe a real Banach space with the dualE∗andCbe a nonempty closed convex subset ofE. LetA:CE∗ be a nonlinear mapping andF:C×CRbe a bifunction. Then consider the following generalized equilibrium problem of findinguCsuch that

ϕ(y) –ϕ(u) +F(u,y) +Au,yu ≥, ∀yC. (.)

The set of solutions of (.) is denoted byEP,i.e.,

EP=uC:ϕ(y) –ϕ(u) +F(u,y) +Au,yu ≥,∀yC.

WheneverA≡,ϕ(x)≡, problem (.) is equivalent to findinguCsuch that

F(u,y)≥, ∀yC, (.)

which is called the equilibrium problem. The set of its solutions is denoted byEP(F). WheneverF≡,ϕ(x)≡, problem (.) is equivalent to findinguCsuch that

(9)

which is called the variational inequality of Browder type. The set of its solutions is de-noted byVI(C,A).

WheneverF≡,A≡, problem (.) is equivalent to findinguCsuch that

ϕ(y)≥ϕ(u), ∀yC,

which is called the convex optimization problem. The set of its solutions is denoted by MIN(ϕ).

Problem (.) is very general in the sense that it includes, as special cases, optimization problems, variational inequalities, minimax problems, the Nash equilibrium problem in noncooperative games and others; see,e.g., [, ].

In order to solve the equilibrium problem for finding an elementxCsuch that

F(x,y)≥, ∀yC,

let us assume thatF:C×C→(–∞, +∞) satisfies the following conditions []:

(A) F(x,x) = for allxC,

(A) Fis monotone,i.e.,F(x,y) +F(y,x)≤, for allx,yC, (A) for allx,y,zC,lim suptF(tz+ ( –t)x,y)≤F(x,y), (A) for allxC,F(x,·)is convex and lower semi-continuous.

Forr> , we define a mappingKr:ECas follows:

Tr(x) =

for allxE. The following two lemmas were proved in [].

Lemma . Let E be a reflexive Banach space and let f:ER be a Legendre function.

Let C be a nonempty,closed,and convex subset of E and let F:C×CR be a bifunc-tion satisfying(A)-(A).For r> ,let Tr:EC be the mapping defined by(.).Then

domTr=E.

Lemma . Let E be a reflexive Banach space and let f :ER be a convex,continuous,

and strongly coercive function which is bounded on bounded subsets and uniformly convex on bounded subsets of E.Let C be a nonempty,closed,and convex subset of E and let F:

C×CR be a bifunction satisfying(A)-(A).For r> ,let Tr:EC be the mapping defined by(.).Then the following statements hold:

(i) Tris single-valued.

(ii) Tris a firmly nonexpansive-type mapping,i.e.,for allx,yE,

TrxTry,∇f(Trx) –∇f(Try)≤TrxTry,∇f(x) –∇f(y).

(iii) F(Tr) =F(Tr) =EP(F). (iv) EP(F)is closed and convex.

Lemma . Let E be a reflexive Banach space and let f :ER be a convex,continuous,

and strongly coercive function which is bounded on bounded subsets and uniformly convex on bounded subsets of E.Let C be a nonempty,closed,and convex subset of E and let F:

i.e.,

where

G(x,y) =ϕ(y) –ϕ(x) +F(x,y) +Ax,yx.

Then the following statements hold:

(i) Kris single-valued.

(ii) Kris a firmly nonexpansive-type mapping,i.e.,for allx,yE,

KrxKry,∇f(Krx) –∇f(Kry)≤KrxKry,∇f(x) –∇f(y).

(iii) F(Kr) =F(Kr) =EP. (iv) EPis closed and convex.

(v) Df(p,Krx) +Df(Krx,x)≤Df(p,x),∀pEP(F),∀xE. Proof Let

G(x,y) =ϕ(y) –ϕ(x) +F(x,y) +Ax,yx, ∀x,yC.

It is easy to show thatG(x,y) satisfies conditions (A)-(A). ReplacingF(x,y) byG(x,y) in

Lemma ., we can get the conclusions.

From [] we have the following conclusion.

From the above expression, we know that Ej,n is closed and convex for alln≥, j=

, , , . . . ,m. ThereforeCnis closed and convex for alln≥.

Step . We show thatFCnfor alln≥. Note thatFC=C. SupposeFCnfor

n≥, then for allpFCn, sinceuj,n=Kr(j)(yn) for alln≥, j= , , , . . . ,m, from

Lemma ., we have

Df(p,uj,n) =Df

p,Kr(j)(yn)

Df(p,yn), j= , , , . . . ,m, (.)

where

Kr(j)(x) =

zC:Gj(z,y) +

r

yz,∇f(z) –∇f(x)≥,∀yC

.

Since

Df(p,yn) =Dfp,∇fαnf(xn) + ( –αn)∇f(Tnxn)

=αnDf(p,xn) + ( –αn)Df(p,Tnxn)

αnDf(p,xn) + ( –αn)

(13)

Df(p,xn) +λDf(xn,Tnxn)

Df(p,xn) + k  –k

f(xn) –∇f(Tnxn),xnp, (.)

from (.) and (.) we know thatpCn+, which impliesFCnfor alln≥. Step . We show that{xn}converges to a pointpC.

Sincexn=PfCnxandCn+⊂Cn, then we get

Df(xn,x)≤Df(xn+,x) for alln≥. (.)

Therefore{Df(xn,x)}is nondecreasing. On the other hand, by Proposition ., we have

Df(xn,x) =Df

PfCnx,x

Df(p,x) –Df(p,xn)≤Df(p,x)

for allpFCnand for alln≥. Therefore,Df(xn,x) is also bounded. This together with (.) implies that the limit of{Df(xn,x)}exists. Put

lim

n→∞Df(xn,x) =d. (.)

From Proposition ., we have, for any positive integerm, that

Df(xn+m,xn) =Df

xn+m,PfCnx

Df(xn+m,x) –Df

PfCnx,x

=Df(xn+m,x) –Df(xn,x)

for alln≥. This together with (.) implies that

lim

n→∞Df(xn+m,xn) = 

holds uniformly for allm. Therefore, we get that

lim

n→∞xn+mxn= 

holds uniformly for allm. Then{xn}is a Cauchy sequence, therefore there exists a point pCsuch thatxnp.

Step . We show that the limit of{xn}belongs to ∞

n=F(Tn).

Sincexn+∈Cn+, we have from the definition ofCn+that

Df(xn+,yn)≤Df(xn+,xn) + k

 –k

f(xn) –∇f(Tnxn),xnxn+

,

which implies thatlimn→∞Df(xn+,yn) = . Sincef is totally convex on bounded subsets

ofE,f is sequentially consistent (see []). It follows that

lim

(14)

From the uniform continuity of∇f, we have lim

n→∞∇f(xn) –∇f(yn)= .

Since

yn=∇fαnf(xn) + ( –αn)∇f(Tnxn)

,

we obtain that

lim

n→∞∇f(Tnxn) –∇f(xn)=nlim→∞

  –αn

f(xn) –∇f(yn)= . (.)

Sincef is strongly coercive and uniformly convex on bounded subsets ofE,f∗is uniformly Fréchet differentiable on bounded sets. Moreover,f∗ is bounded on bounded sets, and from (.) we obtain

lim

n→∞Tnxnxn= .

Since{Tn}is uniformly closed andxnp, we havep∈∞n=F(Tn).

Step . We show that the limit of{xn}belongs toEPjfor allj= , , , . . . ,m.

We have proved that xnpasn→ ∞. Now let us show thatpEPj for any j= , , , . . . ,m. Sincexn+∈Cn+, we have from the definition ofCn+that

Df(xn+,uj,n)≤Df(xn+,yn), j= , , , . . . ,m. Sincelimn→∞Df(xn+,yn) = , we have

lim

n→∞Df(xn+,uj,n) = , j= , , , . . . ,m.

Sincef is totally convex on bounded subsets ofE,f is sequentially consistent (see []). It follows that

lim

n→∞xnuj,n= , j= , , , . . . ,m.

This together with (.) implies that

lim

n→∞ynuj,n= , j= , , , . . . ,m.

Since∇f is uniformly norm-to-norm continuous on bounded subsets ofE, from (.) we havelimn→∞∇f(uj,n) –∇f(yn)= . Fromlim infn→∞rn>  it follows that

lim

n→∞

f(uj,n) –∇f(yn)

rn = .

By the definition ofuj,n:=Kr(nj)yn, we have

G(uj,n,y) +

rn

yuj,n,∇f(uj,n) –∇f(yn)

(15)

where

G(uj,n,y) =ϕ(y) –ϕ(uj,n) +F(uj,n,y) +Auj,n,yuj,n.

We have from (A) that

rn

yuj,n,∇f(uj,n) –∇f(yn)

≥–G(uj,n,y)≥G(y,uj,n), ∀yC.

Sinceyf(x,y) +Ax,yxis convex and lower semi-continuous, lettingn→ ∞in the last inequality, from (A) we have

Gj(y,p)≤, ∀yC.

Fort, with  <t< , andyC, letyt=ty+ ( –t)p. SinceyCandpC, thenytCand henceGj(yt,p)≤. So, from (A) we have

 =Gj(yt,yt)≤tGj(yt,y) + ( –t)Gj(yt,p)≤tGj(yt,y).

Dividing byt, we have

Gj(yt,y)≥, ∀yC.

Lettingt→, from (A) we can get

Gj(p,y)≥, ∀yC,j= , , , . . . ,m.

So,pEPjfor allj= , , , . . . ,m.

Step . Finally, we prove thatp=PfFx, from Proposition . we have

Df

p,PfFx

+Df

PFfx,x

Df(p,x). (.)

On the other hand, sincexn=PfCnxandFCnfor alln, also from Proposition ., we have

DfPFfx,xn+

+Df(xn+,x)≤Df

PfFx,x

. (.)

By the definition ofDf(x,y), we know that

lim

n→∞Df(xn+,x) =Df(p,x). (.)

Combining (.), (.), and (.), we know thatDf(p,x) =Df(PfFx,x). Therefore, it fol-lows from the uniqueness ofPfFxthatp=PfFx. This completes the proof.

Conclusion . {Tn}is a uniformly closed family of countable quasi-Bregman(n+ ) -pseudocontractive mappings.

znzandznTnzn → asn→ ∞, it is easy to see that there exists a sufficiently large nature numberNsuch thatzn=xm for anyn,m>N. ThenTzn= –znforn>N, it follows fromznTnzn → that zn→ and henceznz= . That is,z∈F.

Since (.) holds, by using Conclusions . and ., we know that{Tn}is a uniformly closed family of countable quasi-Bregman (n+ )-pseudocontractive mappings.

5 The mistakes in the result of Ugwunnadi et al. [24]

In [], from page , line – to page , line , there exists a mistake ratiocination as follows.

Mistake ratiocination  Since xn+∈Cn+,it follows from(.), (.)that (∗) f(xn+) –f(wn) –

f(wn),xn+–wn

=Df(xn+,wn)

Df(xn+,yn)

Df(xn+,xn) + k

 –k

f(xn) –∇f(Tnxn),xnxn+

,

which implies from(.), (.), (.),and(.)that

lim

n→∞Df(xn+,yn) = .

However, (.), (.) are the following:

(.) Df(w,wn) =Df

w,∇fm

j=

βj,nf(uj,n)

m

j=

βj,nDf(w,uj,n)

m

j=

βj,nDf(w,yn)

=Df(w,yn)

for anywF,

(.) Df(w,yn) =Dfw,∇fαnf(xn) + ( –αn)∇f(Tnxn)

αnDf(w,xn) + ( –αn)Df(w,Tnxn)

αnDf(w,xn) + ( –αn)

Df(w,xn) +kDf(xn,Tnxn)

Df(w,xn) +kDf(xn,Tnxn)

Df(w,xn) + k  –k

f(xn) –∇f(Tnxn),xnw

for anywF.

In fact, the authors attempt taking w=xn+ in (.) and (.) to get the (∗). This is an obvious mistake since (.) and (.) are right for onlywF, butxn+ does not be-long toF. Therefore, the definition of an iterative sequence{xn}must be modified so that limn→∞Df(xn+,xn) =  implieslimn→∞Df(xn+,yn) = .

(21)

Mistake ratiocination  Also,since ynp as n→ ∞,we have from Lemma.,for each j= , , , . . . ,m,

≤Df(p,uj,n) =Df

p,Resfg jyn

Df(p,yn)→ as n→ ∞.

In fact, we are proving thatpEPjfor anyj= , , , . . . ,m, therefore, if we do not know whetherpEPj, then the above inequalities are not right since ifpEPj, the above

in-equalities are right. In this paper, we have overcome these shortcomings by modifying the iterative scheme.
