Convergence Theorem For Nonexpansive Mappings Research Articles

New ergodic convergence theorems for non-expansive mappings and m-accretive mappings

Two new ergodic convergence theorems for approximating the common element of the set of zero points of an m-accretive mapping and the set of fixed points of an infinite family of non-expansive mappings in a real smooth and uniformly convex Banach space are obtained, which improves some of the previous work. The computational experiments to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed iterative algorithms in this paper are conducted.

Approximating fixed points for generalized nonexpansive mapping in "Equation missing" spaces

Abstract Takahashi and Kim (Math. Jpn. 48:1-9, 1998) used the Ishikawa iteration process to prove some convergence theorems for nonexpansive mappings in Banach spaces. The aim of this paper is to prove similar results in CAT ( 0 ) spaces for generalized nonexpansive mappings, which, in turn, generalize the corresponding results of Takahashi and Kim (Math. Jpn. 48:1-9, 1998), Laokul and Panyanak (Int. J. Math. Anal. 3(25-28):1305-1315, 2009), Razani and Salahifard (Bull. Iran. Math. Soc. 37(1):235-246, 2011) and some others. MSC:47H10, 54H25.

A Reich-type convergence theorem for generalized nonexpansive mappings in uniformly convex Banach spaces

We prove a weak convergence theorem for generalized nonexpansive mappings in uniformly convex Banach spaces whose dual has the Kadec–Klee property. This theorem is connected with a famous convergence theorem for nonexpansive mappings proved by Reich in 1979.

Strong convergence theorem for nonexpansive mappings on star-shaped sets in Hilbert spaces

In this paper, using the concept of attractive points of a nonlinear mapping, we obtain a strong convergence theorem of Halpern’s type [7] for nonexpansive mappings in a star-shaped subset of a Hilbert space. Using this result, we obtain a new fixed point theorem and a strong convergence theorem which generalizes Wittmann’s theorem [26].

Strong Convergence Theorems for Nonexpansive Mappings and Ky Fan Inequalities

We introduce a new iteration method and prove strong convergence theorems for finding a common element of the set of fixed points of a nonexpansive mapping and the solution set of monotone and Lipschitz-type continuous Ky Fan inequality. Under certain conditions on parameters, we show that the iteration sequences generated by this method converge strongly to the common element in a real Hilbert space. Some preliminary computational experiences are reported.

An Alternative Regularization Method forEquilibrium Problems and Fixed Point ofNonexpansive Mappings

We introduce a new regularization iterative algorithm for equilibrium and fixed point problems of nonexpansive mapping. Then, we prove a strong convergence theorem for nonexpansive mappings to solve a unique solution of the variational inequality and the unique sunny nonexpansive retraction. Our results extend beyond the results of S. Takahashi and W. Takahashi (2007), and many others.

Viscosity methods for common solutions for equilibrium and hierarchical fixed point problems

Implicit and explicit viscosity methods for finding common solutions of equilibrium and hierarchical fixed points are presented. These methods are used to solve systems of equilibrium problems and variational inequalities where the involving operators are complements of nonexpansive mappings.

Some Characterizations for a Family of Nonexpansive Mappings and Convergence of a Generated Sequence to Their Common Fixed Point

AbstractMotivated by the method of Xu (2006) and Matsushita and Takahashi (2008), we characterize the set of all common fixed points of a family of nonexpansive mappings by the notion of Mosco convergence and prove strong convergence theorems for nonexpansive mappings and semigroups in a uniformly convex Banach space.

Weak convergence theorems for a countable family of Lipschitzian mappings

This paper is concerned with convergence of an approximating common fixed point sequence of countable Lipschitzian mappings in a uniformly convex Banach space. We also establish weak convergence theorems for finding a common element of the set of fixed points, the set of solutions of an equilibrium problem, and the set of solutions of a variational inequality. With an appropriate setting, we obtain and improve the corresponding results recently proved by Moudafi [A. Moudafi, Weak convergence theorems for nonexpansive mappings and equilibrium problems. J. Nonlinear Convex Anal. 9 (2008) 37–43], Tada–Takahashi [A. Tada and W. Takahashi, Weak and strong convergence theorems for a nonexpansive mapping and an equilibrium problem. J. Optim. Theory Appl. 133 (2007) 359–370], and Plubtieng–Kumam [S. Plubtieng and P. Kumam, Weak convergence theorem for monotone mappings and a countable family of nonexpansive mappings. J. Comput. Appl. Math. (2008) doi:10.1016/j.cam.2008.05.045]. Some of our results are established with weaker assumptions.

Some results on non-expansive mappings and relaxed cocoercive mappings in Hilbert spaces

In this article, we introduce a new iterative scheme to investigate the problem of finding a common element of the set of common fixed points of a finite family of non-expansive mappings and the set of solutions of a variational inequality problem for a relaxed cocoercive mapping by viscosity approximate methods. Our results improve and extend the recent ones announced by Iiduka and Tahakshi [H. Iiduka, W. Takahashi, Strong convergence theorems for nonexpansive mappings and inverse-strongly monotone mappings, Nonlinear Anal. 61 (2005), pp. 341–350] and many others.

Common fixed points of a nonexpansive semigroup and a convergence theorem for Mann iterations in geodesic metric spaces

First, we consider a strongly continuous semigroup of nonexpansive mappings defined on a closed convex subset of a complete CAT(0) space and prove a convergence of a Mann iteration to a common fixed point of the mappings. This result is motivated by a result of Kirk (2002) and of Suzuki (2002). Second, we obtain a result on limits of subsequences of Mann iterations of multivalued nonexpansive mappings on metric spaces of hyperbolic type, which leads to a convergence theorem for nonexpansive mappings on these spaces.

STRONG CONVERGENCE OF MONOTONE HYBRID METHOD FOR FIXED POINT ITERATION PROCESSES*

K. Nakajo and W. Takahashi in 2003 proved the strong convergence theorems for nonexpansive mappings, nonexpansive semigroups, and proximal point algorithm for zero point of monotone operators in Hilbert spaces by using the hybrid method in mathematical programming. The purpose of this paper is to modify the hybrid iteration method of K. Nakajo and W. Takahashi through the monotone hybrid method, and to prove strong convergence theorems. The convergence rate of iteration process of the monotone hybrid method is faster than that of the iteration process of the hybrid method of K. Nakajo and W. Takahashi. In the proofs in this article, Cauchy sequence method is used to avoid the use of the demiclosedness principle and Opial’s condition.

Xu, Strong convergence of the CQ method for fixed point iteration processes, Nonlinear Anal. 64 (2006) 2400-2411] and some others.

A hybrid iterative scheme for asymptotically [formula omitted]-strict pseudo-contractions in Hilbert spaces

In this paper, we introduce an explicit iterative process for a finite family of asymptotically k -strict pseudo-contractions. By using the iterative process, we get a weak convergence theorem for a finite family of asymptotically k -strict pseudo-contractions and then we modify these algorithms to have strong convergence in the framework of Hilbert spaces. Our results improve and extend the recent ones announced by [G.L. Acedo, H.K. Xu, Iterative methods for strict pseudo-contractions in Hilbert spaces, Nonlinear Anal. 67 (2007) 2258–2271; T.H.

Viscosity approximation methods for countable families of nonexpansive mappings in Banach spaces

Let C be a nonempty closed convex subset of a Banach space E and let { S n } be a family of nonexpansive mappings of C into itself such that the set of common fixed points of { S n } is nonempty. We first introduce a sequence { x n } of C defined by x 1 = x ∈ C and x n + 1 = α n f ( x n ) + ( 1 − α n ) S n x n for all n ∈ N , where { α n } ⊂ ( 0 , 1 ) and f is a contraction of C into itself. Further, we give the conditions of { α n } and { S n } under which { x n } converges strongly to a common fixed point of { S n } . This result generalizes the strong convergence theorem for nonexpansive mappings by Suzuki [T. Suzuki, A sufficient and necessary condition for Halpern-type strong convergence to fixed points of nonexpansive mappings, Proc. Amer. Math. Soc. 135 (2007) 99–106] and the strong convergence theorem for accretive operators by Kamimura and Takahashi [S. Kamimura, W. Takahashi, Weak and strong convergence of solutions to accretive operator inclusions and applications, Set-Valued Anal. 8 (2000) 361–374], simultaneously. Using this result, we improve and extend the two above-mentioned results.

Strong convergence theorems by hybrid methods for families of nonexpansive mappings in Hilbert spaces

In this paper, we prove a strong convergence theorem by the hybrid method for a family of nonexpansive mappings which generalizes Nakajo and Takahashi's theorems [K. Nakajo, W. Takahashi, Strong convergence theorems for nonexpansive mappings and nonexpansive semigroups, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 279 (2003) 372–379], simultaneously. Furthermore, we obtain another strong convergence theorem for the family of nonexpansive mappings by a hybrid method which is different from Nakajo and Takahashi. Using this theorem, we get some new results for a single nonexpansive mapping or a family of nonexpansive mappings in a Hilbert space.
