The demiclosedness principle for mean nonexpansive mappings

Abstract

In this paper, we establish the demiclosedness principle for the class of mean nonexpansive mappings, introduced in 2007 by Goebel and Japón Pineda, defined on closed, convex subsets of Banach spaces satisfying Opial's condition. We also establish the demiclosedness principle for a subclass of the mean nonexpansive maps whose domains are closed, bounded, convex sets in uniformly convex spaces. These results extend known demiclosedness results for nonexpansive maps and lead to some fixed point results for mean nonexpansive maps which partially answer an open question posed by Goebel and Japón Pineda.
