Fixed Point Theory and Applications volume 2009, Article number: 374815 (2009)
Abstract
We introduce a new hybrid extragradient viscosity approximation method for finding the common element of the set of equilibrium problems, the set of solutions of fixed points of an infinitely many nonexpansive mappings, and the set of solutions of the variational inequality problems for -inverse-strongly monotone mapping in Hilbert spaces. Then, we prove the strong convergence of the proposed iterative scheme to the unique solution of variational inequality, which is the optimality condition for a minimization problem. Results obtained in this paper improve the previously known results in this area.
1. Introduction
Let be a real Hilbert space, and let be a nonempty closed convex subset of Recall that a mapping of into itself is called nonexpansive (see [1]) if for all . We denote by the set of fixed points of . Recall also that a self-mapping is a contraction if there exists a constant such that In addition, let be a nonlinear mapping. Let be the projection of onto . The classical variational inequality which is denoted by is to find such that
For a given , satisfies the inequality
if and only if . It is well known that is a nonexpansive mapping of onto and satisfies
Moreover, is characterized by the following properties: and for all
It is easy to see that the following is true:
One can see that the variational inequality (1.1) is equivalent to a fixed point problem. The variational inequality has been extensively studied in literature; see, for instance, [2–6]. This alternative equivalent formulation has played a significant role in the studies of the variational inequalities and related optimization problems. Recall the following.
(1)A mapping of into is called monotone if
(2)A mapping is called -strongly monotone (see [7, 8]) if there exists a constant such that
(3)A mapping is called -Lipschitz continuous if there exists a positive real number such that
(4)A mapping is called -inverse-strongly monotone (see [7, 8]) if there exists a constant such that
Remark 1.1.
It is obvious that any -inverse-strongly monotone mapping is monotone and -Lipschitz continuous.

Let be a bifunction of into , where is the set of real numbers. The equilibrium problem for is to find such that
The set of solutions of (1.13) is denoted by . Given a mapping let for all . Then, if and only if for all Numerous problems in physics, saddle point problem, fixed point problem, variational inequality problems, optimization, and economics are reduced to find a solution of (1.13). Some methods have been proposed to solve the equilibrium problem; see, for instance, [10–16]. Recently, Combettes and Hirstoaga [17] introduced an iterative scheme of finding the best approximation to the initial data when is nonempty and proved a strong convergence theorem.
In 1976, Korpelevich [18] introduced the following so-called extragradient method:
for all where is a closed convex subset of and is a monotone and -Lipschitz continuous mapping of into . He proved that if is nonempty, then the sequences and , generated by (1.14), converge to the same point . For finding a common element of the set of fixed points of a nonexpansive mapping and the set of solution of variational inequalities for -inverse-strongly monotone, Takahashi and Toyoda [19] introduced the following iterative scheme:
where is -inverse-strongly monotone, is a sequence in (0, 1), and is a sequence in . They showed that if is nonempty, then the sequence generated by (1.15) converges weakly to some . Recently, Iiduka and Takahashi [20] proposed a new iterative scheme as follows:
where is -inverse-strongly monotone, is a sequence in (0, 1), and is a sequence in . They showed that if is nonempty, then the sequence generated by (1.16) converges strongly to some .
Iterative methods for nonexpansive mappings have recently been applied to solve convex minimization problems; see, for example, [21–24] and the references therein. Convex minimization problems have a great impact and influence in the development of almost all branches of pure and applied sciences. A typical problem is to minimize a quadratic function over the set of the fixed points of a nonexpansive mapping on a real Hilbert space :
where is a linear bounded operator, is the fixed point set of a nonexpansive mapping on and is a given point in . Moreover, it is shown in [25] that the sequence defined by the scheme
converges strongly to Recently, Plubtieng and Punpaeng [26] proposed the following iterative algorithm:
They prove that if the sequences and of parameters satisfy appropriate condition, then the sequences and both converge to the unique solution of the variational inequality
which is the optimality condition for the minimization problem
where is a potential function for (i.e., for ).
Furthermore, for finding approximate common fixed points of an infinite countable family of nonexpansive mappings under very mild conditions on the parameters. Wangkeeree [27] introduced an iterative scheme for finding a common element of the set of solutions of the equilibrium problem (1.13) and the set of common fixed points of a countable family of nonexpansive mappings on . Starting with an arbitrary initial , define a sequence recursively by
where and are sequences in . It is proved that under certain appropriate conditions imposed on and , the sequence generated by (1.22) strongly converges to the unique solution , where which extend and improve the result of Kumam [14].
Definition 1.2 (see [21]).
Let be a sequence of nonexpansive mappings of into itself, and let be a sequence of nonnegative numbers in [0,1]. For each , define a mapping of into itself as follows:
Such a mapping is nonexpansive from to and it is called the -mapping generated by and .
On the other hand, Colao et al. [28] introduced and considered an iterative scheme for finding a common element of the set of solutions of the equilibrium problem (1.13) and the set of common fixed points of infinitely many nonexpansive mappings on . Starting with an arbitrary initial , define a sequence recursively by
where is a sequence in . It is proved [28] that under certain appropriate conditions imposed on and , the sequence generated by (1.24) strongly converges to , where is an equilibrium point for and is the unique solution of the variational inequality (1.20), that is, .
In this paper, motivated by Wangkeeree [27], Plubtieng and Punpaeng [26], Marino and Xu [25], and Colao, et al. [28], we introduce a new iterative scheme in a Hilbert space which is mixed bythe iterative schemes of (1.18), (1.19), (1.22), and (1.24) as follows.
Let be a contraction of into itself, a strongly positive bounded linear operator on with coefficient and a -inverse-strongly monotone mapping of into define sequences , , and recursively by
where is the sequence generated by (1.23), and and satisfying appropriate conditions. We prove that the sequences , , and generated by the above iterative scheme (1.25) converge strongly to a common element of the set of solutions of the equilibrium problem (1.13), the set of common fixed points of infinitely family nonexpansive mappings, and the set of solutions of variational inequality (1.1) for a -inverse-strongly monotone mapping in Hilbert spaces. The results obtained in this paper improve and extend the recent ones announced by Wangkeeree [27], Plubtieng and Punpaeng [26], Marino and Xu [25], Colao, et al. [28], and many others.

In this section, we prove the strong convergence theorem for infinitely many nonexpansive mappings in a real Hilbert space.
Theorem 3.1.
Let be a nonempty closed convex subset of a real Hilbert space , let be a bifunction from to satisfying (A1)–(A4), let be an infinitely many nonexpansive of into itself, and let be an -inverse-strongly monotone mapping of into such that . Let be a contraction of into itself with and let be a strongly positive linear bounded operator on with coefficient and . Let , , and be sequences generated by (1.25), where is the sequence generated by (1.23), , are three sequences in and is a real sequence in satisfying the following conditions:
(i)
(ii) and
(iii)
(iv) and
(v) for some and .
Then, and converge strongly to a point which is the unique solution of the variational inequality
Equivalently, one has
Proof.
Note that from the condition (i), we may assume, without loss of generality, that for all . From Lemma 2.2, we know that if , then . We will assume that . First, we show that is nonexpansive. Indeed, from the -inverse-strongly monotone mapping definition on and condition (v), we have
which implies that the mapping is nonexpansive. On the other hand, since is a strongly positive bounded linear operator on H, we have
Observe that
and this show that is positive. It follows that
Let , where . Note that is a contraction of into itself with . Then, we have
Since , it follows that is a contraction of into itself. Therefore by the Banach Contraction Mapping Principle, which implies that there exists a unique element such that .
We will divide the proof into five steps.
Step 1.
We claim that is bounded. Indeed, pick any . From the definition of , we note that . If follows that
Since is nonexpansive and from (1.6), we have
Put . Since , we have . Substituting and in (1.5), we can write
Using the fact that is -inverse-strongly monotone mapping, and is a solution of the variational inequality problem , we also have
It follows from (3.9) and (3.10) that
Substituting by and in (1.4), we obtain
It follows that
Substituting (3.13) into (3.11), we have
Setting , we can calculate
By induction,
Hence, is bounded, so are , , , , , and .
Step 2.
We claim that .
Observing that and we get
Putting in (3.17) and in (3.18), we have
So, from (A2) we have
and hence
Without loss of generality, let us assume that there exists a real number such that for all Then, we have
and hence
where . Note that
Setting
we have . It follows that
It follows from (3.24) and (3.26) that
Since and are nonexpansive, we have
where is a constant such that for all
Combining (3.27) and (3.28), we have
which implies that (noting that (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v), and
Hence, by Lemma 2.8, we obtain
It follows that
Applying (3.32) and (ii), (iv), and (v) to (3.23) and (3.24), we obtain that
Since , we have
that is
By (i), (iii), and (3.32) it follows that
Step 3.
We claim that the following statements hold:
(i)
(ii)
For any and (3.14), we have
Observe that
where
It follows from condition (i) that
Substituting (3.37) into (3.38), and using (v), we have
It follows that
Since and from (3.32), we obtain
Note that
Since , we have
As is -Lipschitz continuous, we obtain
then, we get
from
Applying (3.43), (3.45), and (3.47), we have
For any , note that is firmly nonexpansive (Lemma 2.4), then we have
and hence
which together with (3.38) gives
So
Using , as , (3.32), and (3.49), we obtain
Since , we obtain
Observe that
Applying (3.36), (3.49), and (3.54) to the last inequality, we obtain
Let be the mapping defined by (2.6). Since is bounded, applying Lemma 2.7 and (3.57), we have
Step 4.
We claim that where is the unique solution of the variational inequality
Since is a unique solution of the variational inequality (3.1), to show this inequality, we choose a subsequence of such that
Since is bounded, there exists a subsequence of which converges weakly to . Without loss of generality, we can assume that From we obtain . Next, We show that , where . First, we show that . Since , we have
If follows from (A2) that
and hence
Since and it follows by (A4) that for all For with and let Since and we have and hence So, from (A1) and (A4) we have
and hence . From (A3), we have for all and hence
Next, we show that By Lemma 2.6, we have . Assume Since and it follows by the Opial's condition that
which derives a contradiction. Thus, we have . By the same argument as that in the proof of [35, Theorem 2.1, Pages 10–11], we can show that Hence . Since , it follows that
It follows from the last inequality, (3.36), and (3.54) that
Step 5.
Finally, weshow that and convergestrongly to . Indeed, from (1.25) , we have
Since , and are bounded, we can take a constant such that
for all . It then follows that
where
Using (i), (3.65), and (3.66), we get . Applying Lemma 2.9 to (3.69), we conclude that in norm. Finally, noticing
we also conclude that in norm. This completes the proof.
