A System of Mixed Equilibrium Problems, a General System of Variational Inequality Problems for Relaxed Cocoercive, and Fixed Point Problems for Nonexpansive Semigroup and Strictly Pseudocontractive Mappings
Abstract
We introduce an iterative algorithm for finding a common element of the set of solutions of a system of mixed equilibrium problems, the set of solutions of a general system of variational inequalities for Lipschitz continuous and relaxed cocoercive mappings, the set of common fixed points for nonexpansive semigroups, and the set of common fixed points for an infinite family of strictly pseudocontractive mappings in Hilbert spaces. Furthermore, we prove a strong convergence theorem of the iterative sequence generated by the proposed iterative algorithm under some suitable conditions which solves some optimization problems. Our results extend and improve the recent results of Chang et al. (2010) and many others.

Remark 1.1 (see [3], Remark 1.1 pages 135-136.)If B : C → H is a LB-Lipschitz continuous and relaxed (c, d)-cocoercive mapping with and , then I − τB satisfies the following:
Similarly, if D : C → H is LD-Lipschitz continuous and relaxed (c′, d′)-cocoercive mapping with and , then the mapping I − δD satisfies the following:

We denote by F(𝒮) the set of all common fixed points of 𝒮 = {S(s) : s ≥ 0}, that is, F(𝒮) = ∩s≥0F(S(s)). It is known that F(𝒮) is closed and convex.
Inspired and motivated by Chang et al. [24], Jaiboon and Kumam [33], Kumam and Jaiboon [34] and Wangkeeree and Kamraksa [32], the purpose of this paper is to introduce an iterative algorithm for finding a common element of the set of solutions of (1.15), the set of solutions of (1.20) for Lipschitz continuous and relaxed cocoercive mappings, the set of common fixed points for nonexpansive semigroup, and the set of common fixed points for an infinite family of strictly pseudocontractive mappings. Consequently, we prove the strong convergence theorem in Hilbert spaces under control conditions on the parameters. Furthermore, we can apply our results for solving some optimization problems. Our results extend and improve the corresponding results in Chang et al. [24], Kumam and Jaiboon [34], Wangkeeree and Kamraksa [32], and many others.
2. Preliminaries
In order to prove our main results, we need the following lemmas.

Lemma 2.7 (see [43].)Let {xn} and {vn} be bounded sequences in a Banach space X and let {βn} be a sequence in [0,1] with 0 < liminfn→∞βn ≤ limsupn→∞βn < 1. Suppose xn+1 = (1 − βn)vn + βnxn for all integers n ≥ 0 and limsupn→∞(∥vn+1 − vn∥−∥xn+1 − xn∥) ≤ 0. Then, limn→∞∥vn − xn∥ = 0.

Throughout this paper, the set of fixed points of the mapping G is denoted by SVI(C, B, D).
Lemma 2.13 (see [32].)Let G : C → C be defined in Lemma 2.12. If B : H → H is a LB-Lipschitzian and relaxed (c, d)-cocoercive mapping and D : H → H is a LD-Lipschitz and relaxed (c′, d′)-cocoercive mapping where and , then G is nonexpansive.
Lemma 2.14 (demiclosedness principle [48]). Assume that S is a nonexpansive self-mapping of a nonempty closed convex subset C of a real Hilbert space H. If S has a fixed point, then I − S is demiclosed; that is, whenever {xn} is a sequence in C converging weakly to some x ∈ C (for short, xn⇀x ∈ C), and the sequence {(I − S)xn} converges strongly to some y (for short, (I − S)xn → y), it follows that (I − S)x = y. Here I is the identity operator of H.
3. Main Results
In this section, we prove a strong convergence theorem of an iterative algorithm (3.1) for finding the solutions of a common element of the set of solutions of (1.15), the set of solutions of (1.20) for Lipschitz continuous and relaxed cocoercive mappings, the set of common fixed points for nonexpansive semigroups, and the set of common fixed points for an infinite family of strictly pseudocontractive mappings in a real Hilbert space.

and .
Proof. By the condition (C4) and (C5), we may assume, without loss of generality, that αn ≤ (1 − βn)(1 + μ∥A∥) −1 for all n ∈ ℕ. Indeed, A is a strongly positive bounded linear operator on H, we have
Step 1. We show that {xn} is bounded.
Let . In fact, by the assumption that for each k ∈ {1,2, …, N}, is nonexpansive. Let and 𝒜0 = I. Then, we have x* = 𝒜Nx* and . Since x* ∈ SVI(C, B, D), then
Step 2. We prove that limn→∞∥xn+1 − xn∥ = 0 and .
Again, from Remark 1.1, we have the following estimates:
Setting xn+1 = (1 − βn)vn + βnxn, for all n ≥ 1, we have
Step 3. We show that limn→∞∥KnWnyn − yn∥ = 0, limn→∞∥yn − S(s)yn∥ = 0, and , where .
Since xn+1 = αn(u + γf(Wnxn)) + βnxn + ((1 − βn)I − αn(I + μA))KnWnyn, we have
Since is firmly nonexpansive, , where and x* ∈ Ω, we have
On the other hand, since is firmly nonexpansive, and x* ∈ Ω, we have
Step 4. We prove that
Since is bounded, there exists a subsequence of which converges weakly to z ∈ C. Without loss of generality, we can assume that . From (3.53), we get .
Next, we show that z ∈ Ω : = F(𝒮)∩F(W)∩𝔉∩SVI(C, B, D), where .
(1) First, we prove that z ∈ F(𝒮). Indeed, from Lemma 2.11 and (3.56), we get z ∈ F(𝒮), that is, z = S(s)z, for all s ≥ 0.
(2) Next, we show that , where and F(Wn+1) ⊂ F(Wn). Assume that z ∉ F(W), then there exists a positive integer m such that z ∉ F(Tm) and so . Hence for any , that is, z ≠ Wnz. This together with z = S(s)z, for all s ≥ 0, shows z = S(s)z ≠ S(s)Wnz, for all s ≥ 0; therefore, we have z ≠ KnWnz, for all n ≥ m. It follows from the Opial’s condition and (3.52) that
(3) Now, we prove that z ∈ 𝔉. Since , and , we have
(4) Next, we show that z ∈ SVI(C, B, D). By (3.36) and (3.52), we have
Now, from Lemma 2.9, (3.64), and (3.53), we have
Remark 3.2. For example, of the control conditions (C4)–(C6), we set αn = 1/10n, βn = n/(n + 1). We set B, D is a 1-Lipschitz continuous and relaxed (0,1)-cocoercive mapping, (i.e., LB = 1 = LD and c = 0 = c′, d = 1 = d′).
Then, we can choose τ ∈ (0,2) and δ ∈ (0,2) which satisfies the condition (C6) in Theorem 3.1.
Corollary 3.3. Let C be a nonempty closed convex subset of a real Hilbert space H which C + C ⊂ C and let f be a contraction of C into itself with α ∈ (0,1). Let ϕ be a lower semicontinuous and convex functional from H to ℝ and let Θ : H × H → ℝ be a finite family of equilibrium functions satisfying conditions (H1)–(H3). Let 𝒮 = {S(s) : 0 ≤ s < ∞} be a nonexpansive semigroup on C and let {tn} be a positive real divergent sequence. Let be a countable family of uniformly k- strict pseudo-contractions, let be the countable family of nonexpansive mappings defined by Tix = tx + (1 − t)Vix, for all x ∈ C, for all i ≥ 1, t ∈ [k, 1), let Wn be the W-mapping defined by (2.12), and let W be a mapping defined by (2.13) with F(W) ≠ ∅. Let A be a strongly positive linear bounded operator on H with coefficient and let , B : H → H be a LB-Lipschitz continuous and relaxed (c, d)-cocoercive mapping with , and let D : H → H be a LD-Lipschitz continuous and relaxed (c′, d′)-cocoercive mapping with . Suppose that Ω : = F(𝒮)∩F(W)∩MEP(Θ, ϕ)∩SVI(C, B, D) ≠ ∅. Let μ > 0, γ > 0 and r > 0, which are constants. For given x1 ∈ H arbitrarily and fixed u ∈ H, suppose {xn}, {yn},{zn}, and{un} are the sequences generated iteratively by
Proof. Taking N = 1 in Theorem 3.1. Hence, the conclusion follows. This completes the proof.
Corollary 3.4. Let C be a nonempty closed convex subset of a real Hilbert space H which C + C ⊂ C and let f be a contraction of C into itself with α ∈ (0,1). Let 𝒮 = {S(s) : 0 ≤ s < ∞} be a nonexpansive semigroup on C and let {tn} be a positive real divergent sequence. Let be a countable family of uniformly k-strict pseudo-contractions, let be the countable family of nonexpansive mappings defined by Tix = tx + (1 − t)Vix, for all x ∈ C, for all i ≥ 1, t ∈ [k, 1), let Wn be the W-mapping defined by (2.12), and let W be a mapping defined by (2.13) with F(W) ≠ ∅. Let A be a strongly positive linear bounded operator on H with coefficient and let , B : H → H be a LB-Lipschitz continuous and relaxed (c, d)-cocoercive mapping with , and let D : H → H be a LD-Lipschitz continuous and relaxed (c′, d′)-cocoercive mapping with . Suppose that Ω : = F(𝒮)∩F(W)∩SVI(C, B, D) ≠ ∅. Let μ > 0 and γ > 0, which are constants. For given x1 ∈ H arbitrarily and fixed u ∈ H, suppose {xn}, {yn}, and{zn} are the sequences generated iteratively by
Proof. Put Θ(x, y) ≡ ϕ(x) ≡ 0 for all x, y ∈ H and r = 1. Take K(x) = ∥x∥2/2 and η(y, x) = y − x, for all x, y ∈ H. Then, we get un = PCxn = xn in Corollary 3.3. Hence, the conclusion follows. This completes the proof.
