Zero Point Problem of Accretive Operators in Banach Spaces

Abstract

Splitting methods have recently received much attention due to the fact that many nonlinear problems arising in applied areas such as image recovery, signal processing and machine learning are mathematically modeled as a nonlinear operator equation and this operator is decomposed as the sum of two (possibly simpler) nonlinear operators. Most of the investigation on splitting methods is however carried out in the framework of Hilbert spaces. In this paper, we consider these methods in the setting of Banach spaces. We shall introduce a viscosity iterative forward–backward splitting method with errors to find zeros of the sum of two accretive operators in Banach spaces. We shall prove the strong convergence of the method under mild conditions. We also discuss applications of these methods to monotone variational inequalities, convex minimization problem and convexly constrained linear inverse problem.
