Abstract

We proved that the modified implicit Mann iteration process can be applied to approximate the fixed point of strictly hemicontractive mappings in smooth Banach spaces.

1. Introduction

Let K be a nonempty subset of an arbitrary Banach space X and let X* be its dual space. The symbols D(T) and F(T) stand for the domain and the set of fixed points of T (for a single-valued mapping T : XX,     xX is called a fixed point of T iff Tx = x). We denote by J the normalized duality mapping from X to defined by
()
where 〈·, ·〉 denotes the duality pairing. In a smooth Banach space, J is singlevalued (we denoted by j).

Remark 1.1. (1) X is called uniformly smooth if X* is uniformly convex.

(2) In a uniformly smooth Banach space, J is uniformly continuous on bounded subsets of X.

Let T : D(T) ⊂ XX be a mapping.

Definition 1.2. The mapping T is called Lipshitz if there exists a constant L > 0 such that

()

for all x, yD(T). If L = 1, then T is called nonexpansive and if 0 ≤ L < 1, then T is called contractive.

Definition 1.3 (see [1], [2].)(1) The mapping T is said to be pseudocontractive if

()
for all x, yD(T) and r > 0.

(2) The mapping T is said to be strongly pseudocontractive if there exists a constant t > 1 such that

()
for all x, yD(T) and r > 0.

(3) The mapping T is said to be local strongly pseudocontractive if for each xD(T) there exists a constant t > 1 such that

()
for all yD(T) and r > 0.

(4) The mapping T is said to be strictly hemicontractive if F(T) ≠ and if there exists a constant t > 1 such that

()
for all xD(T),  qF(T) and r > 0.

Clearly, each strongly pseudocontractive mapping is local strongly pseudocontractive.

Chidume [1] established that the Mann iteration sequence converges strongly to the unique fixed point of T in case T is a Lipschitz strongly pseudocontractive mapping from a bounded closed convex subset of Lp (or lp) into itself. Schu [3] generalized the result in [1] to both uniformly continuous strongly pseudocontractive mappings and real smooth Banach spaces. Park [4] extended the result in [1] to both strongly pseudocontractive mappings and certain smooth Banach spaces. Rhoades [5] proved that the Mann and Ishikawa iteration methods may exhibit different behaviors for different classes of nonlinear mappings. Afterwards, several generalizations have been made in various directions (see, e.g., [613]).

In 2001, Xu and Ori [14] introduced the following implicit iteration process for a finite family of nonexpansive mappings {Ti : iI} (here I = {1,2, …, N}) with {αn} a real sequence in (0,1) and an initial point x0K:
()
which can be written in the following compact form:
()
where Tn = Tn(mod  N) (here the mod  N function takes values in I). Xu and Ori [14] proved the weak convergence of this process to a common fixed point of the finite family defined in a Hilbert space. They further remarked that it is yet unclear what assumptions on the mappings and/or the parameters {αn} are sufficient to guarantee the strong convergence of the sequence {xn}.

In [11], Osilike proved the following results.

Theorem 1.4. Let X be a real Banach space and let K be a nonempty closed convex subset of X. Let {Ti : iI} be N strictly pseudocontractive mappings from K to K with . Let {αn} be a real sequence satisfying the following conditions:

  • (i)

    0 < αn < 1,

  • (ii)

    ,

  • (iii)

    .

From arbitrary x0K, define the sequence {xn} by the implicit iteration process (1.8). Then {xn} converges strongly to a common fixed point of the mappings {Ti : iI} if and only if lim  inf nd(xn, ) = 0.

Remark 1.5. One can easily see that for αn = 1 − 1/n1/2,  . Hence the results of Osilike [11] are needed to be improved.

Let K be a nonempty closed bounded convex subset of an arbitrary smooth Banach space X and let T : KK be a continuous strictly hemicontractive mapping. We proved that the implicit Mann type iteration method converges strongly to a unique fixed point of T.

The results presented in this paper extend and improve the corresponding results particularly in [1, 3, 4, 7, 8, 10, 11, 13, 15].

2. Preliminaries

We need the following results.

Lemma 2.1 (see [4].)Let X be a smooth Banach space. Suppose that one of the following holds:

  • (a)

    J is uniformly continuous on any bounded subsets of X,

  • (b)

    xy, j(x) − j(y)〉≤∥xy2 for all x, y in X,

  • (c)

    for any bounded subset D of X, there is a function c : [0, )→[0, ) such that

()

for all x, yD, where c satisfies .

Then for any ϵ > 0 and any bounded subset K, there exists δ > 0 such that

()
for all x, yK and s ∈ [0, δ].

Remark 2.2. (1) If X is uniformly smooth, then (a) in Lemma 2.1 holds.

(2) If X is a Hilbert space, then (b) in Lemma 2.1 holds.

Lemma 2.3 (see [8].)Let T : D(T) ⊂ XX be a mapping with F(T) ≠ . Then T is strictly hemicontractive if and only if there exists a constant t > 1 such that for all xD(T) and qF(T), there exists j(xq) ∈ J(xq) satisfying

()

Lemma 2.4 (see [10].)Let X be an arbitrary normed linear space and let T : D(T) ⊂ XX be a mapping.

  • (a)

    If T is a local strongly pseudocontractive mapping and F(T) ≠ , then F(T) is a singleton and T is strictly hemicontractive.

  • (b)

    If T is strictly hemicontractive, then F(T) is a singleton.

Lemma 2.5 (see [10].)Let {θn},{σn}, and {ωn} be nonnegative real sequences and let ϵ > 0 be a constant satisfying

()
where ,  θn ≤ 1 for all n ≥ 1 and . Then limsup nσnϵ.

3. Main Results

We now prove our main results.

Lemma 3.1. Let X be a smooth Banach space. Suppose that one of the following holds:

  • (a)

    J is uniformly continuous on any bounded subsets of X,

  • (b)

    xy, j(x) − j(y)〉≤∥xy2 for all x,y in X,

  • (c)

    for any bounded subset D of X, there is a function c : [0, )→[0, ) such that

()

for all x, yD, where c satisfies .

Then for any ϵ > 0 and any bounded subset K, there exists δ > 0 such that

()
for all x, y, zK and α, β, γ ∈ [0, δ];α + β + γ = 1.

Proof. For α, β, γ ∈ [0, δ];α + β + γ = 1, by using (2.2), consider

This completes the proof.

Theorem 3.2. Let X  be a smooth Banach space satisfying any one of the Axioms (a)–(c) of Lemma 3.1. Let K be a nonempty closed bounded convex subset of X and let T : KK be a continuous strictly hemicontractive mapping. Let {αn},{βn} and {γn} be real sequences in [0,1] satisfying conditions

  • (iv)

    αn + βn + γn = 1, for  all  n ≥ 1,

  • (v)

    ,

  • (vi)

    and .

For a sequence {vn} in K, suppose that {xn} is the sequence generated from an arbitrary x0K by

()
satisfying .

Then the sequence {xn} converges strongly to a unique fixed point q of  T.

Proof. By [2, Corollary 1], T has a unique fixed point q in K. It follows from Lemma 2.4 that F(T) is a singleton. That is, F(T) = {q} for some qK.

Set M = 1 + diam  K. It is easy to verify that

For any given ϵ > 0 and the bounded subset K, there exists a δ > 0 satisfying (2.2). Note that (3.13) and (vi) ensure that there exists an N such that

For k < 1/2, set δ = 1/2(1 − k) < 1. Because αnδ, we imply 1 − αn ≥ 1 − δ and 2(1 − k)αn ≤ 1. Now observe that ,θn ≤ 1 for all n ≥ 1 and . It follows from Lemma 2.5 that

Letting ϵ → 0+, we obtain that , which implies that xnq as n. This completes the proof.

Corollary 3.3. Let X  be a smooth Banach space satisfying any one of the Axioms (a)–(c) of Lemma 3.1. Let K be a nonempty closed bounded convex subset of X and let T : KK be a Lipschitz strictly hemicontractive mapping. Let {αn},{βn} and {γn} be real sequences in [0,1] satisfying the conditions (iv)–(vi).

From arbitrary x0K, define the sequence {xn} by the implicit iteration process (3.4). Then the sequence {xn} converges strongly to a unique fixed point q of T.

Corollary 3.4. Let X  be a smooth Banach space satisfying any one of the Axioms (a)–(c) of Lemma 3.1. Let K be a nonempty closed bounded convex subset of X and let T : KK be a continuous strictly hemicontractive mapping. Suppose that {αn} be a real sequence in [0,1] satisfying the conditions (v) and lim nαn = 0.

From arbitrary x0K, define the sequence {xn} by the implicit iteration process (1.8). Then the sequence {xn} converges strongly to a unique fixed point q of T.

Corollary 3.5. Let X be a smooth Banach space satisfying any one of the Axioms (a)–(c) of Lemma 3.1. Let K be a nonempty closed bounded convex subset of X and let T : KK be a Lipschitz strictly hemicontractive mapping. Suppose that {αn} be a real sequence in [0,1] satisfying the conditions (v) and limnαn = 0.

From arbitrary x0K, define the sequence {xn} by the implicit iteration process (1.8). Then the sequence {xn} converges strongly to a unique fixed point q of T.

Remark 3.6. Similar results can be found for the iteration processes involved error terms; we omit the details.

Remark 3.7. Theorem 3.2 and Corollary 3.3 extend and improve Theorem 1.4 in the following directions.

We do not need the assumption liminf nd(xn, ) = 0 as in Theorem 1.4.

4. Applications for Multistep Implicit Iterations
