A System of Generalized Variational Inclusions Involving a New Monotone Mapping in Banach Spaces
Abstract
We introduce a new monotone mapping in Banach spaces, which is an extension of the Cn-monotone mapping studied by Nazemi (2012), and we generalize the variational inclusion involving the Cn-monotone mapping. Based on the new monotone mapping, we propose a new proximal mapping which combines the proximal mapping studied by Nazemi (2012) with the η mapping studied by Lan et al. (2011) and show its Lipschitz continuity. Based on the new proximal mapping, we give an iterative algorithm. Furthermore, we prove the convergence of iterative sequences generated by the algorithm under some appropriate conditions. Our results improve and extend corresponding ones announced by many others.
1. Introduction
Variational inequality theory has emerged as a powerful tool for a wide class of unrelated problems arising in various branches of physical, engineering, pure, and applied sciences in a unified and general framework. As the generalization of variational inequalities, variational inclusions have been widely studied in recent years. One of the most important problems in the theory of variational inclusions is the development of an efficient and implementable iterative algorithm. Therefore, many iterative algorithms and existence results for various variational inclusions have been studied see, for example, [1–3].
Several years ago, Xia and Huang [4] proposed the concept of general H-monotone operators in Banach spaces and studied a class of variational inclusions involving the general H-monotone operator in Banach spaces. In 2010, Luo and Huang [5] introduced a new notion of B-monotone operators in Banach spaces and gave a new proximal mapping related to these operators. Then, they used it to study a new class of variational inclusions in Banach spaces. Very recently, Nazemi [6] introduced the notion of a new class of Cn-monotone mappings which is an extension of B-monotone operators introduced in [5].
Motivated and inspired by the work going on in this direction, in this paper, we propose a new monotone mapping in Banach spaces named Cn-η-monotone mapping which generalizes the Cn-monotone mapping introduced in [6] from the same n-dimensional product space to different n-dimensional product space and reduces the Cn mapping from strictly monotone mapping to monotone mapping. Further, we consider a new proximal mapping which associates a η mapping introduced in [7] and generalizes the proximal mapping introduced in [6]. Furthermore, in the process of proving the convergence of iterative sequences generated by the algorithm, we change the condition of a uniformly smooth Banach space with ρE(t) ≤ Ct2 to a q-uniformly smooth Banach space, which extends the proof of the convergence of iterative sequences in [6]. The results presented in this paper generalize many known and important results in the recent literature and the references therein.
2. Preliminaries
Definition 1 (see [7].)A single-valued mapping η : E × E → E is said to be k-Lipschitz continuous if there exists a constant k > 0 such that
Definition 2 (see [8].)A Banach space E is called smooth if, for every x ∈ E with ∥x∥ = 1, there exists a unique f ∈ E* such that ∥f∥ = f(x) = 1. The modulus of smoothness of E is the function ρE : [0, ∞)→[0, ∞), defined by
Definition 3 (see [8].)The Banach space E is said to be

() - (ii)
q-uniformly smooth, for q > 1, if there exists a constant c > 0 such that

Note that if E is uniformly smooth, jq becomes single-valued. In the study of characteristic inequalities in q-uniformly smooth Banach space, Xu [8] established the following lemma.
Lemma 4 (see [8].)Let q > 1 be a real number and let E be a smooth Banach space and the normalized duality mapping. Then, E is q-uniformly smooth if and only if there exists a constant cq > 0 such that for every x, y ∈ E,
Definition 5. A single-valued mapping g : E → E is said to be (γ, μ)-relaxed cocoercive if there exist jq(x − y) ∈ Jq(x − y) and γ, μ > 0 such that
Definition 6. Let n ≥ 3 and be a multivalued mapping, fi : E → Ei, i = 1,2, …, n, and η : E × E → E single-valued mappings.

By assumption that n is an even number, M is said to be α1β2α3β4 ⋯ αn−1βn-symmetric η-monotone with respect to f1, f2, …, fn if, for each i ∈ {1,3, …, n − 1}, M(…, fi, …) is αi-strongly η-monotone with respect to fi (in the ith argument) and for each j ∈ {2,4, …, n}, M(…, fj, …) is βj-relaxed η-monotone with respect to fj (in the jth argument) with
() - (iv)
By assumption that n is an odd number, M is said to be α1β2α3β4 ⋯ αn−1βn-symmetric η-monotone with respect to f1, f2, …, fn if, for each i ∈ {1,3, …, n}, M(…, fi, …) is αi-strongly η-monotone with respect to fi (in the ith argument) and for each j ∈ {2,4, …, n − 1}, M(…, fj, …) is βj-relaxed η-monotone with respect to fj (in the jth argument) with

Definition 8. Let, for each i = 1,2, …, n, Ti : E⇉CB(Ei) be a multivalued mapping. A single-valued mapping is said to be -Lipschitz continuous in the ith argument with respect to Ti (i = 1,2, …, n) if there exists a constant such that
Definition 9. Let E be a Banach space with the dual space E*and η : E × E → E single-valued mappings; Cn : E → E* is said to be η-monotone mapping if
3. Cn-η-Monotone Mapping
First, we define the notion of Cn-η-monotone mapping.
Definition 10. Let E be a Banach space with the dual space E*. Let n ≥ 3 and fi : E → Ei, i = 1,2, …, n, Cn : E → E* be single-valued mappings and a multivalued mapping.
- (i)
In case that n is an even number, M is said to be a Cn-η-monotone mapping if M is α1β2α3β4 ⋯ αn−1βn-symmetric η-monotone with respect to f1, f2, …, fn and (Cn + λM(f1, f2, …, fn))(E) = E*, for every λ > 0.
- (ii)
In case that n is an odd number, M is said to be a Cn-η-monotone mapping if M is α1β2α3β4 ⋯ βn−1αn-symmetric η-monotone with respect to f1, f2, …, fn and (Cn + λM(f1, f2, …, fn))(E) = E*, for every λ > 0.
Remark 11. (i) If M(f1, f2, …, fn) = M, η(y, x) = y − x, and M is monotone, then the Cn-η-monotone mapping reduces to the general H-monotone mapping considered in [4].
(ii) If M(f1, f2, …, fn) = M(f1, f2), η(y, x) = y − x, then the Cn-η-monotone mapping reduces to the B-monotone mapping considered in [5].
(iii) If M(f1, f2, …, fn) = M, η(y, x) = y − x, and M are m-relaxed monotone, then the Cn-η-monotone mapping reduces to the A-monotone mapping considered in [11].
(iv) If M reduces to , η(y, x) = y − x, and f1, f2, …, fn reduce to E → E, then the Cn-η-monotone mapping reduces to the Cn-monotone mapping considered in [6].
Example 12. Let E = l2 and then E* = l2; and assume n is an even number; let Ei = (E, ∥·∥i), i = 1,2, …, n, where ∥·∥i is the equivalent norm on l2 space, , for ∀x ∈ E; let f1(x) = α1x + e1 ∈ E1, f2(x) = −β2x + e2 ∈ E2, f3(x) = α3x + e3 ∈ E3, f4(x) = −β4x + e4 ∈ E4, …, fn−1(x) = αn−1x + en−1 ∈ En−1, fn(x) = −βnx + en ∈ En, where α1, β2, α3, β4, …, αn−1, βn > 0 are constants such that
With no loss of generality, we may assume that n is an even number in the next text.
Lemma 13. Let η : E × E → E, fi : E → Ei, i = 1,2, …, n, be single-valued mappings; a α1β2α3β4 ⋯ αn−1βn-symmetric η-monotone with respect to f1, f2, …, fn. Then for ∀x, y ∈ E one has
Proof. Setting ω1 ∈ M(f1x, f2y, …, fny), ω2 ∈ M(f1x, f2x, …, fny), …, ωn−1 ∈ M(f1x, …, fn−1x, fny). From Definition 10, we have
This completes the proof.
Theorem 14. Let E be a Banach space with the dual space E*. Let n ≥ 3 and fi : E → Ei, i = 1,2, …, n, η : E × E → E single-valued mappings, Cn : E → E* a η-monotone mapping, and a Cn-η-monotone mapping. Then, (Cn + λM(f1, f2, …, fn)) −1 is a single-valued mapping.
Proof. Suppose, on the contrary, that there exists x1, x2 ∈ E, y* ∈ E*, such that
By Theorem 14, we can define the proximal mapping as follows.
Definition 15. Let E be a Banach space with the dual space E*. Let n ≥ 3 and fi : E → Ei, i = 1,2, …, n, be single-valued mappings, Cn : E → E* a η-monotone mapping, and a Cn-η-monotone mapping. A proximal mapping is defined by
Theorem 16. Let E be a Banach space with the dual space E*. Let η : E × E → E be a k-Lipschitz continuous mapping. Let n ≥ 3 and fi : E → Ei, i = 1,2, …, n, be single-valued mappings, Cn : E → E* a η-monotone mapping, and a Cn-η-monotone mapping. Then, the proximal mapping is k/λKn-Lipschitz continuous, where Kn = (α1 + α3 + ⋯+αn−1)−(β2 + β4 + ⋯+βn).
4. System of Variational Inclusions: Iterative Algorithm
We remark that problem (30) includes as special cases many kinds of variational inclusion and variational inequality of [4, 5, 10, 12, 13].
Theorem 17. Let n ≥ 3 and A : E → E*, p : E → E, fn : E → Ei, i = 1,2, …, n, be single-valued mappings and let Ti : E⇉CB(Ei), i = 1,2, …, n, be multivalued mappings. Let Cn : E → E* be a η-monotone mapping and a Cn-η-monotone mapping with respect to f1, f2, …, fn. Then, (x, t1, t2, …, tn) is a solution of problem (30) if and only if
Proof. Let (x, t1, t2, …, tn) be a solution of problem (30); then we have
This completes the proof.
Based on Theorem 17, we construct the following iterative algorithm for solving problem (30).
Iterative Algorithm 1 For any given x0 ∈ E, we choose t1,0 ∈ T1(x0), t2,0 ∈ T2(x0), …, tn,0 ∈ Tn(x0) and compute {xm}, {t1,m}, {t2,m}, …, {tn,m} by iterative schemes
Now, we give some sufficient conditions which guarantee the convergence of iterative sequences generated by Algorithm 4.1.
Theorem 18. Let E be a q-uniformly smooth Banach space with q > 1 and E* the dual space of E. Let η : E × E → E k-Lipschitz continuous. Let n ≥ 3 and fi : E → Ei, i = 1,2, …, n, be single-valued mappings, Cn : E → E* a η-monotone and δ-Lipschitz continuous mapping, p : E → E a (γ, μ)-relaxed cocoercive and λp-Lipschitz continuous mapping, and a Cn-η-monotone mapping. Let A : E → E* be a τ-Lipschitz continuous mapping and, for each i = 1,2, …, n, let Ti : E⇉CB(Ei) be H-Lipschitz continuous with constant . Suppose that is -Lipschitz continuous in the ith argument with respect to Ti (i = 1,2, …, n) and the following condition is satisfied:
Then, the iterative sequences {xm}, {t1,m}, {t2,m}, …, {tn,m} generated by Algorithm 4.1 converge strongly to x, t1, t2, …, tn, respectively, and (x, t1, t2, …, tn) is a solution of problem (30).
Proof. By using Algorithm 4.1 and Theorem 16, we have
Since F, T1, T2, …, Tn are Lipschitz continuous, we have
5. Conclusions
The purpose of this paper is to study a new monotone mapping in Banach spaces, which generalizes the Cn-monotone mapping in [6], and generalizes the concepts of many monotone mappings. Moreover, the result of Theorem 18 improves and generalizes the corresponding results of [4–6, 10, 12, 13].
