Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to introduce and analyze the Mann-type extragradient iterative algorithms with regularization for finding a common element of the solution set Ξ of a general system of variational inequalities, the solution set Γ of a split feasibility problem, and the fixed point set Fix(S) of a strictly pseudocontractive mapping S in the setting of the Hilbert spaces. These iterative algorithms are based on the regularization method, the Mann-type iteration method, and the extragradient method due to Nadezhkina and Takahashi (2006). Furthermore, we prove that the sequences generated by the proposed algorithms converge weakly to an element of Fix(S)∩Ξ∩Γ under mild conditions.

1. Introduction

Let be a real Hilbert space with inner product 〈·, ·〉 and norm ∥·∥. Let C be a nonempty closed convex subset of . The projection (nearest point or metric projection) of onto C is denoted by PC. Let S : CC be a mapping and Fix (S) be the set of fixed points of S. For a given nonlinear operator A : C, we consider the following variational inequality problem (VIP) of finding x*C such that
()
The solution set of VIP (1) is denoted by VI (C, A). The theory of variational inequalities has been studied quite extensively and has emerged as an important tool in the study of a wide class of problems from mechanics, optimization, engineering, science, and social sciences. It is well known that the VIP is equivalent to a fixed point problem. This alternative formulation has been used to suggest and analyze projection iterative method for solving variational inequalities under the conditions that the involved operator must be strongly monotone and Lipschitz continuous. In the recent past, several people have studied and proposed several iterative methods to find a solution of variational inequalities which is also a fixed point of a nonexpansive mapping or strict pseudocontractive mapping; see, for example, [19] and the references therein.
For finding an element of Fix (S)∩VI (C, A) when C is closed and convex, S is nonexpansive, and A is α-inverse strongly monotone, Takahashi and Toyoda [10] introduced the following Mann-type iterative algorithm:
()
where PC is the metric projection of onto C, x0 = xC, {αn} is a sequence in (0, 1), and {λn} is a sequence in (0, 2α). They showed that if Fix (S)∩VI (C, A) ≠ , then the sequence {xn} converges weakly to some z ∈ Fix (S)∩VI (C, A). Nadezhkina and Takahashi [9] and Zeng and Yao [8] proposed extragradient methods motivated by Korpelevič [11] for finding a common element of the fixed point set of a nonexpansive mapping and the solution set of a variational inequality problem. Further, these iterative methods are extended in [12] to develop a new iterative method for finding elements in Fix (S)∩VI (C, A).
Let B1, B2 : C be two mappings. Recently, Ceng et al. [4] introduced and considered the following problem of finding (x*, y*) ∈ C × C such that
()
which is called a general system of variational inequalities (GSVI), where μ1 > 0 and μ2 > 0 are two constants. The set of solutions of problem (3) is denoted by GSVI(C, B1, B2). In particular, if B1 = B2, then problem (3) reduces to the new system of variational inequalities (NSVI), introduced and studied by Verma [13]. Further, if x* = y*, then the NSVI reduces to VIP (1).

Recently, Ceng et al. [4] transformed problem (3) into a fixed point problem in the following way.

Lemma 1 (see [4].)For given , is a solution of problem (3) if and only if is a fixed point of the mapping G : CC defined by

()
where .

In particular, if the mapping Bi : C is βi-inverse strongly monotone for i = 1,2, then the mapping G is nonexpansive provided μi ∈ (0, 2βi) for i = 1,2.

Utilizing Lemma 1, they introduced and studied a relaxed extragradient method for solving GSVI (3).

Throughout this paper, unless otherwise specified, the set of fixed points of the mapping G is denoted by Ξ. Based on the relaxed extragradient method and viscosity approximation method, Yao et al. [7] proposed and analyzed an iterative algorithm for finding a common solution of GSVI (3) and fixed point problem of a strictly pseudocontractive mapping S : CC, where C is a nonempty bounded closed convex subset of a real Hilbert space .

Subsequently, Ceng at al. [14] further presented and analyzed an iterative scheme for finding a common element of the solution set of VIP (1), the solution set of GSVI (3), and fixed point set of a strictly pseudocontractive mapping S : CC.

Theorem 2 (see [14], Theorem 3.1.)Let C be a nonempty closed convex subset of a real Hilbert space . Let A : C be α-inverse strongly monotone, and let Bi : C be βi-inverse strongly monotone for i = 1,2. Let S : CC be a k-strictly pseudocontractive mapping such that Fix (S)∩Ξ∩VI (C, A) ≠ . Let Q : CC be a ρ-contraction with ρ ∈ [0, 1/2). For given x0C arbitrarily, let the sequences {xn}, {yn}, and {zn} be generated iteratively by

()
where μi ∈ (0,2βi) for i = 1,2, {λn}⊂(0,2α] and {αn}, {βn}, {γn}, {δn}⊂[0,1] such that
  • (i)

    βn + γn + δn = 1 and (γn + δn)kγn for all n ≥ 0;

  • (ii)

    lim nαn = 0 and ;

  • (iii)

    0 < lim  inf nβn ≤ lim  sup nβn < 1 and lim  inf nδn > 0;

  • (iv)

    lim n(γn+1/(1 − βn+1) − γn/(1 − βn)) = 0;

  • (v)

    0 < lim  inf nλn ≤ lim  sup nλn < 2α and lim n | λn+1λn | = 0.

Then the sequence {xn} generated by (5) converges strongly to and is a solution of GSVI (3), where .

On the other hand, let C and Q be nonempty closed convex subsets of real Hilbert spaces 1 and 2, respectively. The split feasibility problem (SFP) is to find a point x* with the following property:
()
where AB(1, 2) and B(1, 2) denotes the family of all bounded linear operators from 1 to 2.
In 1994, the SFP was first introduced by Censor and Elfving [15], in finite-dimensional Hilbert spaces, for modeling inverse problems which arise from phase retrievals and in medical image reconstruction. A number of image reconstruction problems can be formulated as the SFP; see, for example, [16] and the references therein. Recently, it is found that the SFP can also be applied to study intensity-modulated radiation therapy; see, for example, [1719] and the references therein. In the recent past, a wide variety of iterative methods have been used in signal processing and image reconstruction and for solving the SFP; see, for example, [1626] and the references therein. A special case of the SFP is the following convex constrained linear inverse problem [27] of finding an element x such that
()
It has been extensively investigated in the literature using the projected Landweber iterative method [28]. Comparatively, the SFP has received much less attention so far, due to the complexity resulting from the set Q. Therefore, whether various versions of the projected Landweber iterative method [28] can be extended to solve the SFP remains an interesting open topic. For example, it is yet not clear whether the dual approach to (7) of [29] can be extended to the SFP. The original algorithm given in [15] involves the computation of the inverse A−1 (assuming the existence of the inverse of A), and thus has not become popular. A seemingly more popular algorithm that solves the SFP is the CQ algorithm of Byrne [16, 21] which is found to be a gradient-projection method (GPM) in convex minimization. It is also a special case of the proximal forward-backward splitting method [30]. The CQ algorithm only involves the computation of the projections PC and PQ onto the sets C and Q, respectively, and is therefore implementable in the case where PC and PQ have closed-form expressions; for example, C and Q are closed balls or half-spaces. However, it remains a challenge how to implement the CQ algorithm in the case where the projections PC and/or PQ fail to have closed-form expressions, though theoretically we can prove the (weak) convergence of the algorithm.

Very recently, Xu [20] gave a continuation of the study on the CQ algorithm and its convergence. He applied Mann′s algorithm to the SFP and purposed an averaged CQ algorithm which was proved to be weakly convergent to a solution of the SFP. He also established the strong convergence result, which shows that the minimum-norm solution can be obtained.

Furthermore, Korpelevič [11] introduced the so-called extragradient method for finding a solution of a saddle point problem. He proved that the sequences generated by the proposed iterative algorithm converge to a solution of the saddle point problem.

Throughout this paper, assume that the SFP is consistent; that is, the solution set Γ of the SFP is nonempty. Let f : 1R be a continuous differentiable function. The minimization problem
()
is ill posed. Therefore, Xu [20] considered the following Tikhonov regularization problem:
()
where α > 0 is the regularization parameter. The regularized minimization (9) has a unique solution which is denoted by xα. The following results are easy to prove.

Proposition 3 (see [31], Proposition 3.1.)Given x*1, the following statements are equivalent:

  • (i)

    x*solves the SFP;

  • (ii)

    x*solves the fixed point equation

    ()
    where λ > 0,f = A*(IPQ)A and A* is the adjoint of A;

  • (iii)

    x*solves the variational inequality problem (VIP) of finding x*C such that

    ()

It is clear from Proposition 3 that
()
for all λ > 0, where Fix (PC(Iλf)) and VI (C, ∇f) denote the set of fixed points of PC(Iλf) and the solution set of VIP (11), respectively.

Proposition 4 (see [31].)The following statements hold:

  • (i)

    the gradient

    ()
    is (α + ∥A2)-Lipschitz continuous and α-strongly monotone;

  • (ii)

    the mapping PC(Iλfα) is a contraction with coefficient

    ()
    where 0 < λα/(∥A2 + α) 2;

  • (iii)

    if the SFP is consistent, then the strong lim α→0xα exists and is the minimum-norm solution of the SFP.

Very recently, by combining the regularization method and extragradient method due to Nadezhkina and Takahashi [32], Ceng et al. [31] proposed an extragradient algorithm with regularization and proved that the sequences generated by the proposed algorithm converge weakly to an element of Fix (S)∩Γ, where S : CC is a nonexpansive mapping.

Theorem 5 (see [31], Theorem 3.1.)Let S : CC be a nonexpansive mapping such that Fix (S)∩Γ ≠ . Let {xn} and {yn} be the sequences in C generated by the following extragradient algorithm:

()
where , {λn}⊂[a, b] for some a, b ∈ (0, 1/∥A2) and {βn}⊂[c, d] for some c, d ∈ (0, 1). Then, both sequences {xn} and {yn} converge weakly to an element .

Motivated and inspired by the research going on this area, we propose and analyze the following Mann-type extragradient iterative algorithms with regularization for finding a common element of the solution set of the GSVI (3), the solution set of the SFP (6), and the fixed point set of a strictly pseudocontractive mapping S : CC.

Algorithm 6. Let μi ∈ (0, 2βi) for i = 1,2, {αn}⊂(0, ), {λn}⊂(0, 1/∥A2) and {σn}, {τn}, {βn}, {γn}, {δn}⊂[0,1] such that σn + τn ≤ 1 and βn + γn + δn = 1 for all n ≥ 0. For given x0C arbitrarily, let {xn}, {yn}, {zn} be the sequences generated by the Mann-type extragradient iterative scheme with regularization

()

Under appropriate assumptions, it is proven that all the sequences {xn}, {yn}, {zn} converge weakly to an element . Furthermore, is a solution of the GSVI (3), where .

Algorithm 7. Let μi ∈ (0, 2βi) for i = 1,2, {αn}⊂(0, ), {λn}⊂(0, 1/∥A2) and {σn}, {βn}, {γn}, {δn}⊂[0, 1] such that βn + γn + δn = 1 for all n ≥ 0. For given x0C arbitrarily, let be the sequences generated by the Mann-type extragradient iterative scheme with regularization

()

Also, under mild conditions, it is shown that all the sequences {xn}, {un}, converge weakly to an element . Furthermore, is a solution of the GSVI (3), where .

Observe that both [20, Theorem 5.7] and [31, Theorem 3.1] are weak convergence results for solving the SFP and so are our results as well. But our problem of finding an element of Fix (S)∩Ξ∩Γ is more general than the corresponding ones in [20, Theorem 5.7] and [31, Theorem 3.1], respectively. Hence, there is no doubt that our weak convergence results are very interesting and quite valuable. Because the Mann-type extragradient iterative schemes (16) and (17) with regularization involve two inverse strongly monotone mappings B1 and B2, a k-strictly pseudocontractive self-mapping S and several parameter sequences, they are more flexible and more subtle than the corresponding ones in [20, Theorem 5.7] and [31, Theorem 3.1], respectively. Furthermore, the hybrid extragradient iterative scheme (5) is extended to develop the Mann-type extragradient iterative schemes (16) and (17) with regularization. In our results, the Mann-type extragradient iterative schemes (16) and (17) with regularization lack the requirement of boundedness for the domain in which various mappings are defined; see, for example, Yao et al. [7, Theorem 3.2]. Therefore, our results represent the modification, supplementation, extension, and improvement of [20, Theorem 5.7], [31, Theorem 3.1], [14, Theorem 3.1], and [7, Theorem 3.2].

2. Preliminaries

Let be a real Hilbert space, whose inner product and norm are denoted by 〈·, ·〉 and ∥·∥, respectively. Let K be a nonempty, closed, and convex subset of . Now we present some known definitions and results which will be used in the sequel.

The metric (or nearest point) projection from onto K is the mapping PK : K which assigns to each point x the unique point PKxK satisfying the property
()

Some important properties of projections are gathered in the following proposition.

Proposition 8. For given x and zK:

  • (i)

    z = PKx⇔〈xz, yz〉 ≤ 0, for all yK;

  • (ii)

    z = PKx⇔∥xz2 ≤ ∥xy2 − ∥yz2, for  all yK;

  • (iii)

    PKxPKy, xy〉≥∥PKxPKy2, for all y, which hence implies that PK is nonexpansive and monotone.

Definition 9. A mapping T : is said to be

  • (a)

    nonexpansive if

    ()

  • (b)

    firmly nonexpansive if 2TI is nonexpansive, or equivalently,

    ()
    alternatively, T is firmly nonexpansive if and only if T can be expressed as
    ()
    where S : is nonexpansive; projections are firmly nonexpansive.

Definition 10. Let T be a nonlinear operator with domain D(T)⊆ and range R(T)⊆.

  • (a)

    T is said to be monotone if

    ()

  • (b)

    Given a number β > 0, T is said to be β-strongly monotone if

    ()

  • (c)

    Given a number ν > 0, T is said to be ν-inverse strongly monotone (ν-ism) if

    ()

It can be easily seen that if S is nonexpansive, then IS is monotone. It is also easy to see that a projection PK is 1-ism.

Inverse strongly monotone (also referred to as cocoercive) operators have been applied widely in solving practical problems in various fields, for instance, in traffic assignment problems; see, for example, [33, 34].

Definition 11. A mapping T : is said to be an averaged mapping if it can be written as the average of the identity I and a nonexpansive mapping, that is,

()
where α ∈ (0, 1) and S : is nonexpansive. More precisely, when the last equality holds, we say that T is α-averaged. Thus, firmly nonexpansive mappings (in particular, projections) are 1/2-averaged maps.

Proposition 12 (see [21].)Let T : be a given mapping.

  • (i)

    Tis nonexpansive if and only if the complement IT is 1/2-ism.

  • (ii)

    If T is ν-ism, then for γ > 0, γT is ν/γ-ism.

  • (iii)

    T is averaged if and only if the complement IT is ν-ism for some ν > 1/2. Indeed, for α ∈ (0,1), T is α-averaged if and only if IT is 1/2α-ism.

Proposition 13 (see [21], [35].)Let S, T, V : be given operators.

  • (i)

    If T = (1 − α)S + αV for some α ∈ (0,1) and if S is averaged and V is nonexpansive, then T is averaged.

  • (ii)

    T is firmly nonexpansive if and only if the complement IT is firmly nonexpansive.

  • (iii)

    If T = (1 − α)S + αV for some α ∈ (0,  1) and if S is firmly nonexpansive and V is nonexpansive, then T is averaged.

  • (iv)

    The composite of finitely many averaged mappings is averaged. That is, if each of the mappings is averaged, then so is the composite T1T2∘···∘TN. In particular, if T1 is α1-averaged and T2 is α2-averaged, where α1, α2 ∈ (0,  1), then the composite T1T2 is α-averaged, where α = α1 + α2α1α2.

  • (v)

    If the mappings are averaged and have a common fixed point, then

    ()
    The notation Fix (T) denotes the set of all fixed points of the mapping T, that is, Fix (T) = {x : Tx = x}.

It is clear that in a real Hilbert space , S : CC is k-strictly pseudocontractive if and only if there holds the following inequality:
()

This immediately implies that if S is a k-strictly pseudocontractive mapping, then IS is (1 − k)/2-inverse strongly monotone; for further detail, we refer to [9] and the references therein. It is well known that the class of strict pseudocontractions strictly includes the class of nonexpansive mappings.

The following elementary result in the real Hilbert spaces is quite well known.

Lemma 14 (see [36].)Let be a real Hilbert space. Then, for all x, y and λ ∈ [0, 1],

()

Lemma 15 (see [37], Proposition 2.1.)Let C be a nonempty closed convex subset of a real Hilbert space and S : CC be a mapping.

  • (i)

    If S is a k-strict pseudocontractive mapping, then S satisfies the Lipschitz condition

    ()

  • (ii)

    If S is a k-strict pseudocontractive mapping, then the mapping IS is semiclosed at 0, that is, if {xn} is a sequence in C such that weakly and (IS)xn → 0 strongly, then .

  • (iii)

    If S is k-(quasi-)strict pseudocontraction, then the fixed point set Fix (S) of S is closed and convex so that the projection PFix (S) is well defined.

The following lemma plays a key role in proving weak convergence of the sequences generated by our algorithms.

Lemma 16 (see [38], p. 80.)Let , , and be sequences of nonnegative real numbers satisfying the inequality

()
If and , then lim nan exists. If, in addition, has a subsequence which converges to zero, then lim nan = 0.

Corollary 17 (see [39], p. 303.)Let and be two sequences of nonnegative real numbers satisfying the inequality

()
If converges, then lim nan exists.

Lemma 18 (see [7].)Let C be a nonempty closed convex subset of a real Hilbert space . Let S : CC be a k-strictly pseudocontractive mapping. Let γ and δ be two nonnegative real numbers such that (γ + δ)kγ. Then

()

The following lemma is an immediate consequence of an inner product.

Lemma 19. In a real Hilbert space , there holds the inequality

()

Let K be a nonempty closed convex subset of a real Hilbert space and let F : K be a monotone mapping. The variational inequality problem (VIP) is to find xK such that
()
The solution set of the VIP is denoted by VI (K, F). It is well known that
()
A set-valued mapping T : → 2 is called monotone if for all x, y, fTx and gTy imply that 〈xy, fg〉≥0. A monotone set-valued mapping T : → 2 is called maximal if its graph Gph(T) is not properly contained in the graph of any other monotone set-valued mapping. It is known that a monotone set-valued mapping T : → 2 is maximal if and only if for (x, f) ∈ × , 〈xy, fg〉≥0 for every (y, g) ∈ Gph(T) implies that fTx. Let F : K be a monotone and Lipschitz continuous mapping and let NKv be the normal cone to K at vK, that is,

Define
()

It is known that in this case the mapping T is maximal monotone, and 0 ∈ Tv if and only if vVI (K, F); for further details, we refer to [40] and the references therein.

3. Main Results

In this section, we first prove the weak convergence of the sequences generated by the Mann-type extragradient iterative algorithm (16) with regularization.

Theorem 20. Let C be a nonempty closed convex subset of a real Hilbert space 1. Let AB(1, 2) and Bi : C1 be βi-inverse strongly monotone for i = 1,2. Let S : CC be a k-strictly pseudocontractive mapping such that Fix (S)∩Ξ∩Γ ≠ . For given x0C arbitrarily, let {xn}, {yn}, {zn} be the sequences generated by the Mann-type extragradient iterative algorithm (16) with regularization, where μi ∈ (0, 2βi) for i = 1,2, {αn}⊂(0, ), {λn}⊂(0, 1/∥A2) and {σn}, {τn}, {βn}, {γn}, {δn}⊂[0,1] such that

  • (i)

    ;

  • (ii)

    βn + γn + δn = 1 and (γn + δn)kγn for all n ≥ 0;

  • (iii)

    σn + τn ≤ 1 for all n ≥ 0;

  • (iv)

    0 < lim  inf nτn ≤ lim  sup n(σn + τn) < 1;

  • (v)

    0 < lim  inf nβn ≤ lim  sup nβn < 1 and lim  inf nδn > 0;

  • (vi)

    0 < lim  inf nλn ≤ lim  sup nλn < 1/∥A2.

Then all the sequences {xn}, {yn}, {zn} converge weakly to an element . Furthermore, is a solution of GSVI (3), where .

Proof. First, taking into account 0 < lim  inf nλn ≤ lim  sup nλn < 1/∥A2, without loss of generality we may assume that {λn}⊂[a, b] for some a, b ∈ (0, 1/∥A2).

Now, let us show that PC(Iλfα) is ζ-averaged for each λ ∈ (0, 2/(α + ∥A2)), where

()

Indeed, it is easy to see that ∇f = A*(IPQ)A is 1/∥A2-ism, that is,

()
Observe that
()

Hence, it follows that ∇fα = αI + A*(IPQ)A is 1/(α + ∥A2)-ism. Thus, λfα is 1/λ(α + ∥A2)-ism according to Proposition 12(ii). By Proposition 12(iii), the complement Iλfα is λ(α + ∥A2)/2-averaged. Therefore, noting that PC is 1/2-averaged and utilizing Proposition 13(iv), we know that for each λ ∈ (0, 2/(α + ∥A2)), PC(Iλfα) is ζ-averaged with

()
This shows that PC(Iλfα) is nonexpansive. Furthermore, for {λn}⊂[a, b] with a, b ∈ (0, 1/∥A2), we have
()
Without loss of generality, we may assume that
()
Consequently, it follows that for each integer n ≥ 0, is ζn-averaged with
()

This immediately implies that is nonexpansive for all n ≥ 0.

Next we divide the remainder of the proof into several steps.

Step 1. {xn} is bounded.

Indeed, take p ∈ Fix (S)∩Ξ∩Γ arbitrarily. Then Sp = p, PC(Iλf)p = p for λ ∈ (0, 2/∥A2), and

()
From (16), it follows that
()
Utilizing Lemma 19, we also have
()
For simplicity, we write q = PC(pμ2B2p), ,
()
for each n ≥ 0. Then for each n ≥ 0. Since Bi : C1 is βi-inverse strongly monotone and 0 < μi < 2βi for i = 1,2, we know that for all n ≥ 0,
()
Furthermore, by Proposition 8(ii), we have
()
Further, by Proposition 8(i), we have
()
So, from (46), we obtain
()
Hence, it follows from (46), (49), and (52) that
()
Since (γn + δn)kγn for all n ≥ 0, utilizing Lemma 18, we obtain from (53)
()
Since , it is clear that . Thus, by Corollary 17, we conclude that
()
and the sequence {xn} is bounded. Taking into account that PC, , B1 and B2 are Lipschitz continuous, we can easily see that {zn}, {un}, , {yn}, and are bounded, where for all n ≥ 0.

Step 2. Consider lim nB2znB2p∥ = 0, and lim nxnzn∥ = 0, where q = PC(pμ2B2p).

Indeed, utilizing Lemma 18 and the convexity of ∥·∥2, we obtain from (16) and (47)–(52) that

()
Therefore,
()
Since αn → 0, lim nxnp∥ exists, lim  inf n(γn + δn) > 0, {λn}⊂[a, b] and 0 < lim  inf nτn ≤ lim  sup n(σn + τn) < 1, it follows that
()

Step 3. Consider   lim n ∥Synyn ∥ = 0.

Indeed, observe that

()

This together with ∥znxn∥ → 0 implies that and hence . By firm nonexpansiveness of PC, we have

()
that is,
()

Moreover, using the argument technique similar to the previous one, we derive

()
that is,
()

Utilizing (47), (52), (61), and (63), we have

()
Thus, utilizing Lemma 14, from (16) and (64) it follows that
()
which hence implies that
()
Since 0 < lim  inf nβn ≤ lim  sup nβn < 1, lim  sup n(σn + τn) < 1, {λn}⊂[a, b], αn → 0, ∥B2znB2p∥→0, and lim nxnp∥ exists, it follows from the boundedness of {un}, {zn} and that ,
()
Consequently, it immediately follows that
()
Also, note that
()
This together with implies that
()
Since
()
we have

Step 4. {xn}, {yn},   and {zn} converge weakly to an element .

Indeed, since {xn} is bounded, there exists a subsequence of {xn} that converges weakly to some . We obtain that . Taking into account that ∥xnyn∥→0 and ∥xnzn∥→0 as n, we deduce that weakly and weakly. First, it is clear from Lemma 15 and ∥Synyn∥→0 that . Now let us show that . Note that

()
as n where G : CC is defined as that in Lemma 1. According to Lemma 15, we get . Further, let us show that . As a matter of fact, define
()
where NCv = {w1 : 〈vu, w〉≥0, ∀uC}. Then, T is maximal monotone and 0 ∈ Tv if and only if vVI (C, ∇f); see [40] for more details. Let (v, w) ∈ Gph(T). Then, we have
()
and hence
()
So, we have
()
On the other hand, from
()
we have
()
and hence,
()
Therefore, from
()
we have
()
Hence, we get
()
Since T is maximal monotone, we have , and hence, . Thus, it is clear that . Therefore, .

Let be another subsequence of {xn} such that converges weakly to . Then, . Let us show that . Assume that . From the Opial condition [41], we have

This leads to a contradiction. Consequently, we have . This implies that {xn} converges weakly to . Further, from ∥xnyn∥→0 and ∥xnzn∥→0, it follows that both {yn} and {zn} converge weakly to . This completes the proof.

Corollary 21. Let C be a nonempty closed convex subset of a real Hilbert space 1. Let AB(1, 2) and Bi : C1 be βi-inverse strongly monotone for i = 1,  2.

Proof. In Theorem 20, put σn = 0 for all n ≥ 0. Then, in this case, Theorem 20 reduces to Corollary 21.

Next, utilizing Corollary 21, we give the following result.

Corollary 22. Let C be a nonempty closed convex subset of a real Hilbert space 1. Let AB(1, 2) and S : CC be a nonexpansive mapping such that Fix (S)∩Γ ≠ . For given x0C arbitrarily, let the sequences {xn}, {yn}, {zn} be generated iteratively by

Then all the sequences {xn}, {yn}, {zn} converge weakly to an element .

Proof. In Corollary 21, put B1 = B2 = 0 and γn = 0. Then, Ξ = C, βn + δn = 1 for all n ≥ 0, and the iterative scheme (85) is equivalent to

()
This is equivalent to (86). Since S is a nonexpansive mapping, S must be a k-strictly pseudocontractive mapping with k = 0. In this case, it is easy to see that all the conditions (i)–(v) in Corollary 21 are satisfied. Therefore, in terms of Corollary 21, we obtain the desired result.

Now, we are in a position to prove the weak convergence of the sequences generated by the Mann-type extragradient iterative algorithm (17) with regularization.

Theorem 23. Let C be a nonempty closed convex subset of a real Hilbert space 1. Let AB(1, 2) and Bi : C1 be βi-inverse strongly monotone for i = 1,2. Let S : CC be a k-strictly pseudocontractive mapping such that Fix (S)∩Ξ∩Γ ≠ . For given x0C arbitrarily, let be the sequences generated by the Mann-type extragradient iterative algorithm (17) with regularization, where μi ∈ (0, 2βi) for i = 1,2, {αn}⊂(0, ), {λn}⊂(0, 1/∥A2) and {σn}, {βn}, {γn}, {δn}⊂[0,1] such that

  • (iii)

    lim  sup nσn < 1;

  • (iv)

    0 < lim  inf nβn ≤ lim  sup nβn < 1 and lim  inf nδn > 0;

  • (v)

    0 < lim  inf nλn ≤ lim  sup nλn < 1/∥A2.

Then the sequences {xn}, {un}, converge weakly to an element . Furthermore, is a solution of the GSVI (3), where .

Proof. First, taking into account 0 < lim  inf nλn ≤ lim  sup nλn < 1/∥A2, without loss of generality, we may assume that {λn}⊂[a, b] for some a, b ∈ (0, 1/∥A2). Repeating the same argument as that in the proof of Theorem 20, we can show that PC(Iλfα) is ζ-averaged for each λ ∈ (0, 1/(α + ∥A2)), where ζ = (2 + λ(α + ∥A2))/4. Further, repeating the same argument as that in the proof of Theorem 20, we can also show that for each integer n ≥ 0, is ζn-averaged with ζn = (2 + λn(αn + ∥A2))/4 ∈ (0, 1).

Next we divide the remainder of the proof into several steps.

Step 1.  {xn} is bounded.

Indeed, take p ∈ Fix (S)∩Ξ∩Γ arbitrarily. Then Sp = p, PC(Iλf)p = p for λ ∈ (0, 2/∥A2), and

Since Bi : C1 is βi-inverse strongly monotone and 0 < μi < 2βi for i = 1,2, utilizing the argument similar to that of (49) in the proof of Theorem 20, we can obtain that for all n ≥ 0,
()
Utilizing the argument similar to that of (52) in the proof of Theorem 20, from (90) we can obtain

Hence, it follows from (92) and (93) that

Since (γn + δn)kγn for all n ≥ 0, by Lemma 18 we can readily see from (94) that

Since , it is clear that . Thus, by Corollary 17 we conclude that
()
and the sequence {xn} is bounded. Since PC, , B1 and B2 are Lipschitz continuous, it is easy to see that {un}, , , {yn} and are bounded, where for all n ≥ 0.

Step 2. Consider lim nB2xnB2p∥ = 0, and , where q = PC(pμ2B2p).

Indeed, utilizing Lemma 18 and the convexity of ∥·∥2, we obtain from (17), (92), and (93) that

Since αn → 0, lim  sup nσn < 1, lim nxnp∥ exists, lim  inf n(γn + δn) > 0 and {λn}⊂[a, b] for some a, b ∈ (0, 1/∥A2), it follows from the boundedness of that

Since 0 < lim  inf nβn ≤ lim  sup nβn < 1, lim  sup nσn < 1, {λn}⊂[a, b], αn → 0, ∥B2xnB2p∥→0, , and lim nxnp∥ exists, it follows from the boundedness of {xn}, , {un}, and that :

Consequently, it immediately follows that

This together with implies that

Step 4.  {xn}, {un} and converge weakly to an element .

Indeed, since {xn} is bounded, there exists a subsequence of {xn} that converges weakly to some . We obtain that . Taking into account that ∥xnun∥→0 and and ∥xnyn∥→0, we deduce that weakly and weakly.

First, it is clear from Lemma 15 and ∥Synyn∥→0 that . Now let us show that . Note that

we can easily conclude that
()
It is easy to see that . Therefore, . Finally, utilizing the Opial condition [41], we infer that {xn} converges weakly to . Further, from ∥xnun∥→0 and , it follows that both {un} and converge weakly to . This completes the proof.

Corollary 24. Let C be a nonempty closed convex subset of a real Hilbert space 1. Let AB(1, 2) and Bi : C1 be βi-inverse strongly monotone for i = 1,2. Let S : CC be a k-strictly pseudocontractive mapping such that Fix (S)∩Ξ∩Γ ≠ . For given x0C arbitrarily, let the sequences {xn}, {un}, be generated iteratively by

()
where μi ∈ (0,2βi) for i = 1,2, {αn}⊂(0, ), {λn}⊂(0, 1/∥A2) and {βn}, {γn}, {δn}⊂[0,1] such that
  • (i)

    ;

  • (ii)

    βn + γn + δn = 1 and (γn + δn)kγn for all n ≥ 0;

  • (iii)

    0 < lim  inf nβn ≤ lim  sup nβn < 1 and lim  inf nδn > 0;

  • (iv)

    0 < lim  inf nλn ≤ lim  sup nλn < 1/∥A2.

Then the sequences {xn}, {un}, converge weakly to an element . Furthermore, is a solution of GSVI (3), where .

Next, utilizing Corollary 24, we derive the following result.

Corollary 25. Let C be a nonempty closed convex subset of a real Hilbert space 1. Let AB(1, 2) and S : CC be a nonexpansive mapping such that Fix (S)∩Γ ≠ . For given x0C arbitrarily, let the sequences {xn}, be generated iteratively by

()
where {αn}⊂(0, ), {λn}⊂(0, 1/∥A2) and {βn}⊂[0,1] such that
  • (i)

    ;

  • (ii)

    0 < lim  inf nβn ≤ lim  sup nβn < 1;

  • (iii)

    0 < lim  inf nλn ≤ lim  sup nλn < 1/∥A2.

Then, both the sequences {xn} and converge weakly to an element .

Proof. In Corollary 24, put B1 = B2 = 0 and γn = 0. Then, Ξ = C, βn + δn = 1 for all n ≥ 0, and the iterative scheme (114) is equivalent to

()
This is equivalent to (115). Since S is a nonexpansive mapping, S must be a k-strictly pseudocontractive mapping with k = 0. In this case, it is easy to see that all the conditions (i)–(iv) in Corollary 24 are satisfied. Therefore, in terms of Corollary 24, we obtain the desired result.

Remark 26. Compared with the Ceng and Yao [31, Theorem 3.1], our Corollary 25 coincides essentially with [31, Theorem 3.1]. This shows that our Theorem 23 includes [31, Theorem 3.1] as a special case.

Remark 27. Our Theorems 20 and 23 improve, extend, and develop [20, Theorem 5.7], [31, Theorem 3.1], [7, Theorem 3.2], and [14, Theorem 3.1] in the following aspects.

  • (i)

    Compared with the relaxed extragradient iterative algorithm in [7, Theorem 3.2], our Mann-type extragradient iterative algorithms with regularization remove the requirement of boundedness for the domain C in which various mappings are defined.

  • (ii)

    Because [31, Theorem 3.1] is the supplementation, improvement, and extension of [20, Theorem 5.7] and our Theorem 23 includes [31, Theorem 3.1] as a special case, beyond question our results are very interesting and quite valuable.

  • (iii)

    The problem of finding an element of Fix (S)∩Ξ∩Γ in our Theorems 20 and 23 is more general than the corresponding problems in [20, Theorem 5.7] and [31, Theorem 3.1], respectively.

  • (iv)

    The hybrid extragradient method for finding an element of Fix (S)∩Ξ∩VI (C, A) in [14, Theorem 3.1] is extended to develop our Mann-type extragradient iterative algorithms (16) and (17) with regularization for finding an element of Fix (S)∩Ξ∩Γ.

  • (v)

    The proof of our results are very different from that of [14, Theorem 3.1] because our argument technique depends on the Opial condition, the restriction on the regularization parameter sequence {αn}, and the properties of the averaged mappings to a great extent.

  • (vi)

    Because our iterative algorithms (16) and (17) involve two inverse strongly monotone mappings B1 and B2, a k-strictly pseudocontractive self-mapping S and several parameter sequences, they are more flexible and more subtle than the corresponding ones in [20, Theorem 5.7] and [31, Theorem 3.1], respectively.
