Abstract

We introduce methods which seem to be a new and promising tool in hierarchical fixed-point problems. The goal of this note is to analyze the convergence properties of these new types of approximating methods for fixed-point problems. The limit attained by these curves is the solution of the general variational inequality, , where denotes the normal cone to the set of fixed point of the original nonexpansive mapping and a suitable nonexpansive mapping criterion. The link with other approximation schemes in this field is also made.
