Fixed point iteration processes for asymptotic pointwise nonexpansive mapping in modular function spaces

Abstract

Let L ρ be a uniformly convex modular function space with a strong Opial property. Let T:CC be an asymptotic pointwise nonexpansive mapping, where C is a ρ-a.e. compact convex subset of L ρ . In this paper, we prove that the generalized Mann and Ishikawa processes converge almost everywhere to a fixed point of T. In addition, we prove that if C is compact in the strong sense, then both processes converge strongly to a fixed point.

1 Introduction

In 2008, Kirk and Xu [21] studied the existence of fixed points of asymptotic pointwise nonexpansive mappings T:CC, i.e.,

T n ( x ) T n ( y ) α n (x)xy,

where lim sup n α n (x)1, for all x,yC. Their main result (Theorem 3.5) states that every asymptotic pointwise nonexpansive self-mapping of a nonempty, closed, bounded and convex subset C of a uniformly convex Banach space X has a fixed point. As pointed out by Kirk and Xu, asymptotic pointwise mappings seem to be a natural generalization of nonexpansive mappings. The conditions on α n can be for instance expressed in terms of the derivatives of iterations of T for differentiable T. In 2009 these results were generalized by Hussain and Khamsi to metric spaces, [9].

In 2011, Khamsi and Kozlowski [18] extended their result proving the existence of fixed points of asymptotic pointwise ρ-nonexpansive mappings acting in modular function spaces. The proof of this important theorem is of the existential nature and does not describe any algorithm for constructing a fixed point of an asymptotic pointwise ρ-nonexpansive mapping. This paper aims at filling this gap.

Let us recall that modular function spaces are natural generalization of both function and sequence variants of many important, from applications perspective, spaces like Lebesgue, Orlicz, Musielak-Orlicz, Lorentz, Orlicz-Lorentz, Calderon-Lozanovskii spaces and many others, see the book by Kozlowski [24] for an extensive list of examples and special cases. There exists an extensive literature on the topic of the fixed point theory in modular function spaces, see, e.g., [35, 8, 13, 14, 1720, 24] and the papers referenced there.

It is well known that the fixed point construction iteration processes for generalized nonexpansive mappings have been successfully used to develop efficient and powerful numerical methods for solving various nonlinear equations and variational problems, often of great importance for applications in various areas of pure and applied science. There exists an extensive literature on the subject of iterative fixed point construction processes for asymptotically nonexpansive mappings in Hilbert, Banach and metric spaces, see, e.g., [1, 2, 6, 7, 9, 12, 16, 3036, 3842] and the works referred there. Kozlowski proved convergence to fixed point of some iterative algorithms of asymptotic pointwise nonexpansive mappings in Banach spaces [25] and the existence of common fixed points of semigroups of pointwise Lipschitzian mappings in Banach spaces [26]. Recently, weak and strong convergence of such processes to common fixed points of semigroups of mappings in Banach spaces has been demonstrated by Kozlowski and Sims [28].

We would like to emphasize that all convergence theorems proved in this paper define constructive algorithms that can be actually implemented. When dealing with specific applications of these theorems, one should take into consideration how additional properties of the mappings, sets and modulars involved can influence the actual implementation of the algorithms defined in this paper.

The paper is organized as follows:

  1. (a)

    Section 2 provides necessary preliminary material on modular function spaces.

  2. (b)

    Section 3 introduces the asymptotic pointwise nonexpansive mappings and related notions.

  3. (c)

    Section 4 deals with the Demiclosedness Principle which provides a critical stepping stone for proving almost everywhere convergence theorems.

  4. (d)

    Section 5 utilizes the Demiclosedness Principle to prove the almost everywhere convergence theorem for generalized Mann process.

  5. (e)

    Section 6 establishes the almost everywhere convergence theorem for generalized Ishikawa process.

  6. (f)

    Section 7 provides the strong convergence theorem for both generalized Mann and Ishikawa processes for the case of a strongly compact set C.

2 Preliminaries

Let Ω be a nonempty set and Σ be a nontrivial σ-algebra of subsets of Ω. Let P be a δ-ring of subsets of Ω such that EAP for any EP and AΣ. Let us assume that there exists an increasing sequence of sets K n P such that Ω= K n . By we denote the linear space of all simple functions with supports from P. By M we will denote the space of all extended measurable functions, i.e., all functions f:Ω[,] such that there exists a sequence { g n }E, | g n ||f| and g n (ω)f(ω) for all ωΩ. By 1 A we denote the characteristic function of the set A.

Definition 2.1 Let ρ: M [0,] be a nontrivial, convex and even function. We say that ρ is a regular convex function pseudomodular if:

  1. (i)

    ρ(0)=0;

  2. (ii)

    ρ is monotone, i.e., |f(ω)||g(ω)| for all ωΩ implies ρ(f)ρ(g), where f,g M ;

  3. (iii)

    ρ is orthogonally subadditive, i.e., ρ(f 1 A B )ρ(f 1 A )+ρ(f 1 B ) for any A,BΣ such that AB, f M ;

  4. (iv)

    ρ has the Fatou property, i.e., | f n (ω)||f(ω)| for all ωΩ implies ρ( f n )ρ(f), where f M ;

  5. (v)

    ρ is order continuous in , i.e., g n E and | g n (ω)|0 implies ρ( g n )0.

Similarly, as in the case of measure spaces, we say that a set AΣ is ρ-null if ρ(g 1 A )=0 for every gE. We say that a property holds ρ-almost everywhere if the exceptional set is ρ-null. As usual, we identify any pair of measurable sets whose symmetric difference is ρ-null as well as any pair of measurable functions differing only on a ρ-null set. With this in mind we define

M(Ω,Σ,P,ρ)= { f M ; | f ( ω ) | < ρ -a.e. } ,
(2.1)

where each fM(Ω,Σ,P,ρ) is actually an equivalence class of functions equal ρ-a.e. rather than an individual function. Where no confusion exists we will write instead of M(Ω,Σ,P,ρ).

Definition 2.2 Let ρ be a regular function pseudomodular.

  1. (1)

    We say that ρ is a regular convex function semimodular if ρ(αf)=0 for every α>0 implies f=0 ρ-a.e.;

  2. (2)

    We say that ρ is a regular convex function modular if ρ(f)=0 implies f=0 ρ-a.e.;

The class of all nonzero regular convex function modulars defined on Ω will be denoted by .

Let us denote ρ(f,E)=ρ(f 1 E ) for fM, EΣ. It is easy to prove that ρ(f,E) is a function pseudomodular in the sense of Def.2.1.1 in [24] (more precisely, it is a function pseudomodular with the Fatou property). Therefore, we can use all results of the standard theory of modular function spaces as per the framework defined by Kozlowski in [2224].

Remark 2.1 We limit ourselves to convex function modulars in this paper. However, omitting convexity in Definition 2.1 or replacing it by s-convexity would lead to the definition of nonconvex or s-convex regular function pseudomodulars, semimodulars and modulars as in [24].

Definition 2.3[2224]

Let ρ be a convex function modular.

  1. (a)

    A modular function space is the vector space L ρ (Ω,Σ), or briefly L ρ , defined by

    L ρ = { f M ; ρ ( λ f ) 0  as  λ 0 } .
  2. (b)

    The following formula defines a norm in L ρ (frequently called Luxemurg norm):

    f ρ =inf { α > 0 ; ρ ( f / α ) 1 } .

In the following theorem, we recall some of the properties of modular spaces that will be used later on in this paper.

Theorem 2.1[2224]

Letρ.

  1. (1)

    L ρ , f ρ is complete and the norm ρ is monotone w.r.t. the natural order in .

  2. (2)

    f n ρ 0 if and only if ρ(α f n )0 for every α>0.

  3. (3)

    If ρ(α f n )0 for an α>0 then there exists a subsequence { g n } of { f n } such that g n 0 ρ-a.e.

  4. (4)

    If { f n } converges uniformly to f on a set EP then ρ(α( f n f),E)0 for every α>0.

  5. (5)

    Let f n f ρ-a.e. There exists a nondecreasing sequence of sets H k P such that H k Ω and { f n } converges uniformly to f on every H k (Egoroff theorem).

  6. (6)

    ρ(f)lim infρ( f n ) whenever f n f ρ-a.e. (Note: this property is equivalent to the Fatou property.)

  7. (7)

    Defining L ρ 0 ={f L ρ ;ρ(f,) is order continuous} and E ρ ={f L ρ ;λf L ρ 0  for every λ>0} we have:

  8. (a)

    L ρ L ρ 0 E ρ ,

  9. (b)

    E ρ has the Lebesgue property, i.e., ρ(αf, D k )0 for α>0, f E ρ and D k .

  10. (c)

    E ρ is the closure of (in the sense of ρ ).

The following definition plays an important role in the theory of modular function spaces.

Definition 2.4 Let ρ. We say that ρ has the Δ 2 -property if

sup n ρ(2 f n , D k )0

whenever D k and sup n ρ( f n , D k )0.

Theorem 2.2 Letρ. The following conditions are equivalent:

  1. (a)

    ρ has Δ 2 ,

  2. (b)

    L ρ 0 is a linear subspace of L ρ ,

  3. (c)

    L ρ = L ρ 0 = E ρ ,

  4. (d)

    if ρ( f n )0, then ρ(2 f n )0,

  5. (e)

    if ρ(α f n )0 for an α>0, then f n ρ 0, i.e., the modular convergence is equivalent to the norm convergence.

We will also use another type of convergence which is situated between norm and modular convergence. It is defined, among other important terms, in the following definition.

Definition 2.5 Let ρ.

  1. (a)

    We say that { f n } is ρ-convergent to f and write f n f(ρ) if and only if ρ( f n f)0.

  2. (b)

    A sequence { f n } where f n L ρ is called ρ-Cauchy if ρ( f n f m )0 as n,m.

  3. (c)

    A set B L ρ is called ρ-closed if for any sequence of f n B, the convergence f n f(ρ) implies that f belongs to B.

  4. (d)

    A set B L ρ is called ρ-bounded if sup{ρ(fg);fB,gB}<.

  5. (e)

    A set B L ρ is called strongly ρ-bounded if there exists β>1 such that M β (B)=sup{ρ(β(fg));fB,gB}<.

  6. (f)

    A set B L ρ is called ρ-compact if for any { f n } in C there exists a subsequence { f n k } and an fC such that ρ( f n k f)0.

  7. (g)

    A set C L ρ is called ρ-a.e. closed if for any { f n } in C which ρ-a.e. converges to some f, then we must have fC.

  8. (h)

    A set C L ρ is called ρ-a.e. compact if for any { f n } in C, there exists a subsequence { f n k } which ρ-a.e. converges to some fC.

  9. (i)

    Let f L ρ and C L ρ . The ρ-distance between f and C is defined as

    d ρ (f,C)=inf { ρ ( f g ) ; g C } .

Let us note that ρ-convergence does not necessarily imply ρ-Cauchy condition. Also, f n f does not imply in general λ f n λf, λ>1. Using Theorem 2.1, it is not difficult to prove the following:

Proposition 2.1 Letρ.

  1. (i)

    L ρ is ρ-complete,

  2. (ii)

    ρ-balls B ρ (x,r)={y L ρ ;ρ(xy)r} are ρ-closed and ρ-a.e. closed.

Let us compare different types of compactness introduced in Definition 2.5.

Proposition 2.2 Letρ. The following relationships hold for setsC L ρ :

  1. (i)

    If C is ρ-compact, then C is ρ-a.e. compact.

  2. (ii)

    If C is ρ -compact, then C is ρ-compact.

  3. (iii)

    If ρ satisfies Δ 2 , then ρ -compactness and ρ-compactness are equivalent in L ρ .

Proof

  1. (i)

    follows from Theorem 2.1 part (3).

  2. (ii)

    follows from Theorem 2.1 part (2).

  3. (iii)

    follows from (2.2) and from Theorem 2.2 part (e).

3 Asymptotic pointwise nonexpansive mappings

Let us recall the modular definitions of asymptotic pointwise nonexpansive mappings and associated notions, [18].

Definition 3.1 Let ρ and let C L ρ be nonempty and ρ-closed. A mapping T:CC is called an asymptotic pointwise mapping if there exists a sequence of mappings α n :C[0,) such that

ρ ( T n ( f ) T n ( g ) ) α n (f)ρ(fg)for any f,g L ρ .
  1. (i)

    If α n (f)=1 for every f L ρ and every nN, then T is called ρ-nonexpansive or shortly nonexpansive.

  2. (ii)

    If { α n } converges pointwise to α:C[0,1), then T is called asymptotic pointwise contraction.

  3. (iii)

    If lim sup n α n (f)1 for any f L ρ , then T is called asymptotic pointwise nonexpansive.

  4. (iv)

    If lim sup n α n (f)k for any f L ρ with 0<k<1, then T is called strongly asymptotic pointwise contraction.

Denoting a n (x)=max( α n (x),1), we note that without loss of generality we can assume that T is asymptotically pointwise nonexpansive if

ρ ( T n ( f ) T n ( g ) ) a n (f)ρ(fg)for all f,gC,nN,
(3.1)
lim n a n (f)=1, a n (f)1for all fC, and nN.
(3.2)

Define b n (f)= a n (f)1. In view of (3.2), we have

lim n b n (f)=0.
(3.3)

The above notation will be consistently used throughout this paper.

By T(C) we will denote the class of all asymptotic pointwise nonexpansive mappings T:CC.

In this paper, we will impose some restrictions on the behavior of a n and b n . This type of assumptions is typical for controlling the convergence of iterative processes for asymptotically nonexpansive mappings, see, e.g., [25].

Definition 3.2 Define T r (C) as a class of all TT(C) such that

n = 1 b n (x)<for every xC,
(3.4)
a n  is a bounded function for every n1.
(3.5)

We recall the following concepts related to the modular uniform convexity introduced in [18]:

Definition 3.3 Let ρ. We define the following uniform convexity type properties of the function modular ρ: Let t(0,1), r>0, ε>0. Define

D 1 (r,ε)= { ( f , g ) ; f , g L ρ , ρ ( f ) r , ρ ( g ) r , ρ ( f g ) ε r } .

Let

δ 1 t (r,ε)=inf { 1 1 r ρ ( t f + ( 1 t ) g ) ; ( f , g ) D 1 ( r , ε ) } ,if  D 1 (r,ε),

and δ 1 (r,ε)=1 if D 1 (r,ε)=. We will use the following notational convention: δ 1 = δ 1 1 2 .

Definition 3.4 We say that ρ satisfies (UC1) if for every r>0, ε>0, δ 1 (r,ε)>0. Note that for every r>0, D 1 (r,ε), for ε>0 small enough. We say that ρ satisfies (UUC1) if for every s0, ε>0 there exists η 1 (s,ε)>0 depending only on s and ε such that

δ 1 (r,ε)> η 1 (s,ε)>0for any r>s.

We will need the following result whose proof is elementary. Note that for t= 1 2 , this result follows directly from Definition 3.4.

Lemma 3.1 Letρbe(UUC1)and lett(0,1). Then for everys>0, ε>0there exists η 1 t (s,ε)>0depending only on s and ε such that

δ 1 t (r,ε)> η 1 t (s,ε)>0for any r>s.

The notion of bounded away sequences of real numbers will be used extensively throughout this paper.

Definition 3.5 A sequence { t n }(0,1) is called bounded away from 0 if there exists 0<a<1 such that t n a for every nN. Similarly, { t n }(0,1) is called bounded away from 1 if there exists 0<b<1 such that t n b for every nN.

We will need the following generalization of Lemma 4.1 from [18] and being a modular equivalent of a norm property in uniformly convex Banach spaces, see, e.g., [36].

Lemma 3.2 Letρbe(UUC1)and let{ t k }(0,1)be bounded away from 0 and 1. If there existsR>0such that

lim sup n ρ( f n )R, lim sup n ρ( g n )R,
(3.6)
lim n ρ ( t n f n + ( 1 t n ) g n ) =R,
(3.7)

then

lim n ρ( f n g n )=0.

Proof Assume to the contrary that this is not the case and fix an arbitrary γ>0. Passing to a subsequence if necessary, we may assume that there exists an ε>0 such that

ρ( f n )R+γ,ρ( g n )R+γ,
(3.8)

while

ρ( f n g n )(R+γ)ε.
(3.9)

Since { t n } is bounded away from 0 and 1 there exist 0<a<b<1 such that a t n b for all natural n. Passing to a subsequence if necessary, we can assume that t n t 0 [a,b]. For every t[0,1] and f,g D 1 (R+γ,ε), let us define λ f , g (t)=ρ(tf+(1t)g). Observe that the function λ f , g :[0,1][0,R+γ] is a convex function. Hence that the function

λ(t)=sup { λ f , g ( t ) : f , g D 1 ( R + γ , ε ) }
(3.10)

is also convex on [0,1], and consequently, it is a continuous function on [a,b]. Noting that

δ 1 t (R+γ,ε)=1 1 r λ(t),
(3.11)

we conclude that δ 1 t (R+γ,ε) is a continuous function of t[a,b]. Hence

lim n δ 1 t n (R+γ,ε)= δ 1 t 0 (R+γ,ε).
(3.12)

By (3.8) and (3.9)

δ 1 t n (R+γ,ε)1 1 R + γ ρ ( t n f n + ( 1 t n ) g n ) .
(3.13)

By (3.12) the left-hand side of (3.13) tends to δ 1 t 0 (R+γ,ε) as n while the right-hand side tends to γ R + γ in view of (3.7). Hence

δ 1 t 0 (R+γ,ε) γ R + γ .
(3.14)

By (UUC1) and by Lemma 3.1, there exists η 1 t 0 (R,ε)>0 satisfying

0< η 1 t 0 (R,ε) δ 1 t 0 (R+γ,ε).
(3.15)

Combining (3.14) with (3.15) we get

0< η 1 t 0 (R,ε) γ R + γ .
(3.16)

Letting γ0 we get a contradiction which completes the proof. □

Let us introduce a notion of a ρ-type, a powerful technical tool which will be used in the proofs of our fixed point results.

Definition 3.6 Let K L ρ be convex and ρ-bounded. A function τ:K[0,] is called a ρ-type (or shortly a type) if there exists a sequence { y n } of elements of K such that for any zK there holds

τ(z)= lim sup n ρ( y n z).

Note that τ is convex provided ρ is convex. A typical method of proof for the fixed point theorems in Banach and metric spaces is to construct a fixed point by finding an element on which a specific type function attains its minimum. To be able to proceed with this method, one has to know that such an element indeed exists. This will be the subject of Lemma 3.3 below. First, let us recall the definition of the Opial property and the strong Opial property in modular function spaces, [15, 17].

Definition 3.7 We say that L ρ satisfies the ρ-a.e. Opial property if for every { f n } L ρ which is ρ-a.e. convergent to 0 such that there exists a β>1 for which

sup n { ρ ( β f n ) } <,
(3.17)

the following inequality holds for any g E ρ not equal to 0

lim inf n ρ( f n ) lim inf n ρ( f n +g).
(3.18)

Definition 3.8 We say that L ρ satisfies the ρ-a.e. strong Opial property if for every { f n } L ρ which is ρ-a.e. convergent to 0 such that there exists a β>1 for which

sup n { ρ ( β f n ) } <,
(3.19)

the following equality holds for any g E ρ

lim inf n ρ( f n +g)= lim inf n ρ( f n )+ρ(g).
(3.20)

Remark 3.1 Note that the ρ-a.e. Strong Opial property implies ρ-a.e. Opial property [15].

Remark 3.2 Also, note that, by virtue of Theorem 2.1 in [15], every convex, orthogonally additive function modular ρ has the ρ-a.e. strong Opial property. Let us recall that ρ is called orthogonally additive if ρ(f,AB)=ρ(f,A)+ρ(f,B) whenever AB=. Therefore, all Orlicz and Musielak-Orlicz spaces must have the strong Opial property.

Note that the Opial property in the norm sense does not necessarily hold for several classical Banach function spaces. For instance, the norm Opial property does not hold for L p spaces for 1p2 while the modular strong Opial property holds in L p for all p1.

Lemma 3.3[27]

Letρ. Assume that L ρ has the ρ-a.e. strong Opial property. LetC E ρ be a nonempty, strongly ρ-bounded and ρ-a.e. compact convex set. Then any ρ-type defined in C attains its minimum in C.

Let us finish this section with the fundamental fixed point existence theorem which will be used in many places in the current paper.

Theorem 3.1[18]

Assumeρis(UUC1). Let C be a ρ-closed ρ-bounded convex nonempty subset. Then anyT:CCasymptotically pointwise nonexpansive has a fixed point. Moreover, the set of all fixed pointsFix(T)is ρ-closed.

4 Demiclosedness Principle

The following modular version of the Demiclosedness Principle will be used in the proof of our convergence Theorem 5.1. Our proof the Demiclosedness Principle uses the parallelogram inequality valid in the modular spaces with the (UUC1) property (see Lemma 4.2 in [18]). We start with a technical result which will be used in the proof of Theorem 4.1.

Lemma 4.1 Letρ. LetC L ρ be a convex set, and letT T r (C). If{ x k }is a ρ-approximate fixed point sequence for T, that is, ρ(T( x k ) x k )0ask, then for every fixedmNthere holds

ρ ( T m ( x k ) x k m ) 0,
(4.1)

ask.

Proof It follows from 3.5 that there exists a finite constant M>0 such that

j = 1 m 1 sup { a j ( x ) ; x C } M.
(4.2)

Using the convexity of ρ and the ρ-nonexpansiveness of T, we get

ρ ( T m ( x k ) x k m ) = ρ ( 1 m j = 0 m 1 ( T j + 1 ( x k ) T j ( x k ) ) ) 1 m j = 0 m 1 ρ ( T j + 1 ( x k ) T j ( x k ) ) ρ ( T ( x k ) x k ) ( j = 1 m 1 a j ( x n ) + 1 ) 1 m ( M + 1 ) ρ ( T ( x k ) x k ) 0 ,
(4.3)

as k. □

Corollary 4.1 If, under the hypothesis of Lemma  4.1, ρ satisfies additionally the Δ 2 condition, thenρ( T m ( x k ) x k )0ask.

The version of the Demiclosedness Principle used in this paper (Theorem 4.1) requires the uniform continuity of the function modular ρ in the sense of the following definition (see, e.g., [17]).

Definition 4.1 We say that ρ is uniformly continuous if to every ε>0 and L>0, there exists δ>0 such that

| ρ ( g ) ρ ( g + h ) | ε,
(4.4)

provided ρ(h)<δ and ρ(g)L.

Let us mention that the uniform continuity holds for a large class of function modulars. For instance, it can be proved that in Orlicz spaces over a finite atomless measure [37] or in sequence Orlicz spaces [11] the uniform continuity of the Orlicz modular is equivalent to the Δ 2 -type condition.

Theorem 4.1 Demiclosedness Principle. Letρ. Assume that:

  1. (1)

    ρ is (UCC1),

  2. (2)

    ρ has strong Opial property,

  3. (3)

    ρ has Δ 2 property and is uniformly continuous.

LetC L ρ be a nonempty, convex, strongly ρ-bounded and ρ-closed, and letT T r (C). Let{ x n }C, andxC. If x n xρ-a.e. andρ(T( x n ) x n )0, thenxF(T).

Proof Let us recall that by definition of uniform continuity of ρ to every ε>0 and L>0, there exists δ>0 such that

| ρ ( g ) ρ ( g + h ) | ε
(4.5)

provided ρ(h)<δ and ρ(g)L. Fix any mN. Noting that ρ( x n x)M< due to the strong ρ-boundedness of C and that ρ( T m ( x n ) x n )0 by Corollary (4.1), it follows from (4.5) with g= x n x and h= T m ( x n ) x n that

| ρ ( x n x ) ρ ( x n x + T m ( x n ) x n ) | 0,
(4.6)

as n. Hence

lim sup n ρ( x n x)= lim sup n ρ ( T m ( x n ) x ) .
(4.7)

Define the ρ-type φ by

φ(x)= lim sup n ρ( x n x).
(4.8)

By (4.7) we get

φ(x)= lim sup n ρ ( T m ( x n ) x ) .
(4.9)

Hence, for every yC there holds

φ ( T m ( y ) ) = lim sup n ρ ( T m ( x n ) T m ( y ) ) a m (y) lim sup n ρ( x n y)= a m (y)φ(y).
(4.10)

Using (4.10) with y=x and by passing with m to infinity, we conclude that

lim sup m φ ( T m ( x ) ) φ(x).
(4.11)

Since ρ satisfies the strong Opial property, it also satisfies the Opial property. Since x n xρ-a.e., it follows via the Opial property that for any yx

φ(x)= lim sup n ρ( x n x)< lim sup n ρ( x n y)=φ(y),
(4.12)

which implies that

φ(x)=inf { φ ( y ) : y C } .
(4.13)

Combining (4.11) with (4.13), we have

φ(x) lim sup m φ ( T m ( x ) ) φ(x),
(4.14)

that is,

lim sup m φ ( T m ( x ) ) =φ(x).
(4.15)

We claim that

lim m ρ ( T m ( x ) x ) =0.
(4.16)

Assume to the contrary that (4.16) does not hold, that is,

ρ ( T m ( x ) x )  does not tend to zero.
(4.17)

By Δ 2 , it follows from (4.17) that ρ( T m ( x ) x 2 ) does not tend to zero. By passing to a subsequence if necessary, we can assume that there exists 0<t<M such that

ρ ( T m ( x ) x 2 ) >t>0,
(4.18)

for mN, which implies that

ρ( x n x)+ρ ( x n T m ( x ) ) > t 2 ,
(4.19)

for every m,nN. Hence,

max { ρ ( x n x ) , ρ ( x n T m ( x ) ) } t 4
(4.20)

for every m,nN. Applying the modular parallelogram inequality valid in (UCC1) modular function spaces, see Lemma 4.2 in [18],

ρ 2 ( z + y 2 ) 1 2 ρ 2 (z)+ 1 2 ρ 2 (y)Ψ ( r , s , 1 r ρ ( z y ) ) ,
(4.21)

where ρ(z)r, ρ(y)r and max{ρ(z),ρ(y)}s for 0<s<r, with r=M, s= t 4 , z= x n x, y= T m (x), we get

ρ 2 ( x n x + T m ( x ) 2 ) 1 2 ρ 2 ( x n x ) + 1 2 ρ 2 ( x n T m ( x ) ) Ψ ( M , t 4 , 1 M ρ ( x T m ( x ) ) ) .
(4.22)

Note that by (4.13)

φ 2 (x) φ 2 ( x + T m ( x ) 2 ) = lim sup n ρ 2 ( x n x + T m ( x ) 2 ) .
(4.23)

Combining (4.22) with (4.23), we obtain

φ 2 ( x ) 1 2 lim sup n ρ 2 ( x n x ) + 1 2 lim sup n ρ 2 ( x n T m ( x ) ) Ψ ( M , t 4 , 1 M ρ ( x T m ( x ) ) ) ,
(4.24)

which implies

0Ψ ( M , t 4 , 1 M ρ ( x T m ( x ) ) ) 1 2 φ 2 ( T m ( x ) ) 1 2 φ 2 (x).
(4.25)

Letting m and applying (4.15), we get

0 lim sup m Ψ ( M , t 4 , 1 M ρ ( x T m ( x ) ) ) 1 2 lim sup m φ 2 ( T m ( x ) ) 1 2 φ 2 ( x ) 0 .
(4.26)

Using the properties of Ψ, we conclude that ρ(x T m (x)) tends to zero itself, which contradicts our assumption (4.17). Hence, ρ(x T m (x))0 as m. Clearly, then ρ(x T m + 1 (x))0 as m, that is, T m + 1 (x)x(ρ) while T m + 1 (x)T(x)(ρ) by ρ-continuity of T. By the uniqueness of the ρ-limit, we obtain T(x)=x, that is, xF(T). □

5 Convergence of generalized Mann iteration process

The following elementary, easy to prove, lemma will be used in this paper.

Lemma 5.1[2]

Suppose{ r k }is a bounded sequence of real numbers and{ d k , n }is a doubly-index sequence of real numbers which satisfy

lim sup k lim sup n d k , n 0 and  r k + n r k + d k , n

for eachk,n1. Then{ r k }converges to anrR.

Following Mann [29], let us start with the definition of the generalized Mann iteration process.

Definition 5.1 Let T T r (C) and let { n k } be an increasing sequence of natural numbers. Let { t k }(0,1) be bounded away from 0 and 1. The generalized Mann iteration process generated by the mapping T, the sequence { t k }, and the sequence { n k } denoted by gM(T,{ t k },{ n k }) is defined by the following iterative formula:

x k + 1 = t k T n k ( x k )+(1 t k ) x k ,where  x 1 C is chosen arbitrarily.
(5.1)

Definition 5.2 We say that a generalized Mann iteration process gM(T,{ t k },{ n k }) is well defined if

lim sup k a n k ( x k )=1.
(5.2)

Remark 5.1 Observe that by the definition of asymptotic pointwise nonexpansiveness, lim k a k (x)=1 for every xC. Hence we can always select a subsequence { a n k } such that (5.2) holds. In other words, by a suitable choice of { n k }, we can always make gM(T,{ t k },{ n k }) well defined.

The following result provides an important technique which will be used in this paper.

Lemma 5.2 Letρbe(UUC1). LetC L ρ be a ρ-closed, ρ-bounded and convex set. LetT T r (C)and let{ n k }N. Assume that a sequence{ t k }(0,1)is bounded away from 0 and 1. Let w be a fixed point of T andgM(T,{ t k },{ n k })be a generalized Mann process. Then there existsrRsuch that

lim k ρ( x k w)=r.
(5.3)

Proof Let wF(T). Since

ρ ( x k + 1 w ) t k ρ ( T n k ( x k ) w ) + ( 1 t k ) ρ ( x k w ) = t k ρ ( T n k ( x k ) T n k ( w ) ) + ( 1 t k ) ρ ( x k w ) t k ( 1 + b n k ( w ) ) ρ ( x k w ) + ( 1 t k ) ρ ( x k w ) = t k b n k ( w ) ρ ( x k w ) + ρ ( x k w ) b n k ( w ) diam ρ ( C ) + ρ ( x k w ) ,

it follows that for every nN,

ρ( x k + n w)ρ( x k w)+ diam ρ (C) i = k k + n 1 b n i (w).
(5.4)

Denote r p =ρ( x p w) for every pN and d k , n = diam ρ (C) i = k k + n 1 b n i (w). Observe that since T T r (C), it follows that lim sup k lim sup n d k , n =0. By Lemma 5.1, there exists an rR such that lim k ρ( x k w)=r as claimed. □

The next result will be essential for proving the convergence theorems for iterative process.

Lemma 5.3 Letρbe(UUC1). LetC L ρ be a ρ-closed, ρ-bounded and convex set, andT T r (C). Assume that a sequence{ t k }(0,1)is bounded away from 0 and 1. Let{ n k }NandgM(T,{ t k },{ n k })be a generalized Mann iteration process. Then

lim k ρ ( T n k ( x k ) x k ) =0,
(5.5)

and

lim k ρ( x k + 1 x k )=0.
(5.6)

Proof By Theorem 3.1, T has at least one fixed point wC. In view of Lemma 5.2, there exists rR such that

lim k ρ( x k w)=r.
(5.7)

Note that

lim sup k ρ ( T n k ( x k ) w ) = lim sup k ρ ( T n k ( x k ) T n k ( w ) ) lim sup k a n k ( w ) ρ ( x k w ) r ,
(5.8)

and that

lim k ρ ( t k ( T n k ( x k ) w ) + ( 1 t k ) ( x k w ) ) = lim k ρ( x k + 1 w)=r.
(5.9)

Set f k = T n k ( x k )w, g k = x k w, and note that lim sup k ρ( g k )r by (5.7), and lim sup k ρ( f k )r by (5.8). Observe also that

(5.10)

Hence, it follows from Lemma 3.2 that

lim k ρ ( T n k ( x k ) x k ) = lim k ρ( f k g k )=0,
(5.11)

which by the construction of the sequence { x k } is equivalent to

lim k ρ( x k + 1 x k )=0,
(5.12)

as claimed. □

In the next lemma, we prove that under suitable assumption the sequence { x k } becomes an approximate fixed point sequence, which will provide an important step in the proof of the generalized Mann iteration process convergence. First, we need to recall the following notions.

Definition 5.3 A strictly increasing sequence { n i }N is called quasi-periodic if the sequence { n i + 1 n i } is bounded, or equivalently, if there exists a number pN such that any block of p consecutive natural numbers must contain a term of the sequence { n i }. The smallest of such numbers p will be called a quasi-period of { n i }.

Lemma 5.4 Letρbe(UUC1)satisfying Δ 2 . LetC L ρ be a ρ-closed, ρ-bounded and convex set, andT T r (C). Let{ t k }(0,1)be bounded away from 0 and 1. Let{ n k }Nbe such that the generalized Mann processgM(T,{ t k },{ n k })is well defined. If, in addition, the set of indicesJ={j; n j + 1 =1+ n j }is quasi-periodic, then{ x k }is an approximate fixed point sequence, i.e.,

lim k ρ ( T ( x k ) x k ) =0.
(5.13)

Proof Let pN be a quasi-period of J. Observe that it is enough to prove that ρ(T( x k ) x k )0 as k through J. Indeed, let us fix ε>0. From ρ(T( x k ) x k )0 as k through J it follows that

ρ ( T ( x k ) x k ) <ε
(5.14)

for sufficiently large k. By the quasi-periodicity of J, to every positive integer k, there exists j k J such that |k j k |p. Assume that kp j k k (the proof for the other case is identical). Since T is ρ-Lipschitzian with the constant M=sup{ a 1 (x);xC}, there exist a 0<δ< ε 3 such that

ρ ( T ( x ) T ( y ) ) <εif ρ(xy)<δ.
(5.15)

Note that by (5.6) and by Δ 2 , ρ(p( x k + 1 x k ))< δ p for k sufficiently large. This implies that

ρ( x k x j k ) 1 p ( ρ ( p ( x k x k 1 ) ) + + ρ ( p ( x j k + 1 x j k ) ) ) p δ p =δ,
(5.16)

and therefore,

ρ ( x k T ( x k ) 3 ) 1 3 ρ ( x k x j k ) + 1 3 ρ ( x j k T ( x j k ) ) + 1 3 ρ ( T ( x j k ) T ( x k ) ) δ + ε 3 + ε 3 < ε ,
(5.17)

which demonstrates that

ρ ( x k T ( x k ) 3 ) 0
(5.18)

as k. By Δ 2 again, we get ρ(T( x k ) x k ).

To prove that ρ(T( x k ) x k )0 as k through J, observe that, since n k + 1 = n k +1 for such k, there holds

ρ ( x k T ( x k ) 4 ) 1 4 ρ ( x k x k + 1 ) + 1 4 ρ ( x k + 1 T n k + 1 ( x k + 1 ) ) + 1 4 ρ ( T n k + 1 ( x k + 1 ) T n k + 1 ( x k ) ) + 1 4 ρ ( T T n k ( x k ) T ( x k ) ) 1 4 ρ ( x k x k + 1 ) + 1 4 ρ ( x k + 1 T n k + 1 ( x k + 1 ) ) + 1 4 a n k + 1 ( x k + 1 ) ρ ( x k x k + 1 ) + 1 4 M ρ ( T n k ( x k ) x k )
(5.19)

which tends to zero in view of (5.5), (5.6) and (5.2). □

The next theorem is the main result of this section.

Theorem 5.1 Letρ. Assume that:

  1. (1)

    ρ is (UCC1),

  2. (2)

    ρ has Strong Opial Property,

  3. (3)

    ρ has Δ 2 property and is uniformly continuous.

LetC L ρ be nonempty, ρ-a.e. compact, convex, strongly ρ-bounded and ρ-closed, and letT T r (C). Assume that a sequence{ t k }(0,1)is bounded away from 0 and 1. Let{ n k }NandgM(T,{ t k },{ n k })be a well-defined generalized Mann iteration process. Assume, in addition, that the set of indicesJ={j; n j + 1 =1+ n j }is quasi-periodic. Then there existsxF(T)such that x n xρ-a.e.

Proof Observe that by Theorem 4.1 in [18], the set of fixed points F(T) is nonempty, convex and ρ-closed. Note also that by Lemma 3.1 in [27], it follows from the strong Opial property of ρ that any ρ-type attains its minimum in C. By Lemma 5.4, the sequence { x k } is an approximate fixed point sequence, that is,

ρ ( T ( x k ) x k ) 0
(5.20)

as k. Consider y,zC, two ρ-a.e. cluster points of { x k }. There exits then { y k }, { z k } subsequences of { x k } such that y k yρ-a.e. and z k zρ-a.e. By Theorem 4.1, yF(T) and zF(T). By Lemma 5.2, there exist r y , r z R such that

r y = lim k ρ( x k y), r z = lim k ρ( x k z).
(5.21)

We claim that y=z. Assume to the contrary that yz. Then, by the strong Opial property, we have

r y = lim inf k ρ ( y k y ) < lim inf k ρ ( y k z ) = lim inf k ρ ( z k z ) < lim inf k ρ ( z k y ) = r y .
(5.22)

The contradiction implies that y=z. Therefore, { x k } has at most one ρ-a.e. cluster point. Since, C is ρ-a.e. compact it follows that the sequence { x k } has exactly one ρ-a.e. cluster point, which means that ρ( x k )xρ-a.e. Using Theorem 4.1 again, we get xF(T) as claimed. □

Remark 5.2 It is easy to see that we can always construct a sequence { n k } with the quasi-periodic properties specified in the assumptions of Theorem 5.1. When constructing concrete implementations of this algorithm, the difficulty will be to ensure that the constructed sequence { n k } is not “too sparse” in the sense that the generalized Mann process gM(T,{ t k },{ n k }) remains well defined. The similar quasi-periodic type assumptions are common in the asymptotic fixed point theory, see, e.g., [2, 25, 28].

6 Convergence of generalized Ishikawa iteration process

The two-step Ishikawa iteration process is a generalization of the one-step Mann process. The Ishikawa iteration process, [10], provides more flexibility in defining the algorithm parameters, which is important from the numerical implementation perspective.

Definition 6.1 Let T T r (C) and let { n k } be an increasing sequence of natural numbers. Let { t k }(0,1) be bounded away from 0 and 1, and { s k }(0,1) be bounded away from 1. The generalized Ishikawa iteration process generated by the mapping T, the sequences { t k }, { s k }, and the sequence { n k } denoted by gI(T,{ t k },{ s k },{ n k }) is defined by the following iterative formula:

(6.1)

Definition 6.2 We say that a generalized Ishikawa iteration process gI(T,{ t k },{ s k },{ n k }) is well defined if

lim sup k a n k ( x k )=1.
(6.2)

Remark 6.1 Observe that, by the definition of asymptotic pointwise nonexpansiveness, lim k a k (x)=1 for every xC. Hence we can always select a subsequence { a n k } such that (6.2) holds. In other words, by a suitable choice of { n k }, we can always make gI(T,{ t k },{ s k },{ n k }) well defined.

Lemma 6.1 Letρbe(UUC1). LetC L ρ be a ρ-closed, ρ-bounded and convex set. LetT T r (C)and let{ n k }N. Let{ t k }(0,1)be bounded away from 0 and 1, and{ s k }(0,1)be bounded away from 1. LetwF(T)andgI(T,{ t k },{ s k },{ n k })be a generalized Ishikawa process. There exists then anrRsuch that lim k ρ( x k w)=r.

Proof Define T k :CC by

T k (x)= t k T n k ( s k T n k ( x ) + ( 1 s k ) x ) +(1 t k )x,xC.
(6.3)

It is easy to see that x k + 1 = T k ( x k ) and that F(T)F( T k ). Moreover, a straight calculation shows that each T k satisfies

ρ ( T k ( x ) T k ( y ) ) A k (x)ρ(xy),
(6.4)

where

A k (x)=1+ t k a n k ( M k ( x ) ) ( 1 + s k a n k ( x ) s k ) t k ,
(6.5)

and

M k (x)= s k T n k (x)+(1 s k )x.
(6.6)

Note that A k (x)1, which follows directly from the fact that a n k (x)1 and from (6.5). Using (6.5) and the fact that M k (w)=w, we have

B k (w)= A k (w)1= t k ( 1 + s k a n k ( w ) ) ( a n k ( w ) 1 ) ( 1 + a n k ( w ) ) b n k (w).
(6.7)

Fix any M>1. Since lim k a n k (w)=1, it follows that there exists a k 0 1 such that for k> k 0 , a n k (w)M. Therefore, using the same argument as in the proof of Lemma 5.2, we deduce that for k> k 0 and n>1

ρ ( x k + n w ) ρ ( x k w ) + diam ρ ( C ) i = k k + n 1 B i ( w ) ρ ( x k w ) + diam ρ ( C ) ( 1 + M ) i = k k + n 1 b n i ( w ) .
(6.8)

Arguing like in the proof of Lemma 5.2, we conclude that there exists an rR such that lim k ρ( x k w)=r. □

Lemma 6.2 Letρbe(UUC1). LetC L ρ be a ρ-closed, ρ-bounded and convex set. LetT T r (C)and let{ n k }N. Let{ t k }(0,1)be bounded away from 0 and 1, and{ s k }(0,1)be bounded away from 1. LetgI(T,{ t k },{ s k },{ n k })be a generalized Ishikawa process. Define

y k = s k T n k ( x k )+(1 s k ) x k .
(6.9)

Then

lim k ρ ( T n k ( y k ) x k ) =0,
(6.10)

or equivalently

lim k ρ( x k + 1 x k )=0.
(6.11)

Proof By Theorem 3.1, F(T). Let us fix wF(T). By Lemma 6.1, lim k ρ( x k w) exists. Let us denote it by r. Since wF(T), T T r (C), and lim k ρ( x k w)=r by Lemma 6.1, we have the following:

(6.12)

Note that

(6.13)

Applying Lemma 3.2 with u k = T n k ( y k )w and v k = x k w, we obtain the desired equality lim k ρ( T n k ( y k ) x k )=0, while (6.11) follows from (6.10) via the construction formulas for x k + 1 and y k . □

Lemma 6.3 Letρbe(UUC1)satisfying Δ 2 . LetC L ρ be a ρ-closed, ρ-bounded and convex set. LetT T r (C)and let{ n k }N. Let{ t k }(0,1)be bounded away from 0 and 1, and{ s k }(0,1)be bounded away from 1. LetgI(T,{ t k },{ s k },{ n k })be a well-defined generalized Ishikawa process. Then

lim k ρ ( T n k ( x k ) x k ) =0.
(6.14)

Proof Let y k = s k T n k ( x k )+(1 s k ) x k . Hence

T n k ( x k ) x k = 1 1 s k ( T n k ( x k ) y k ) .
(6.15)

Since { s k }(0,1) is bounded away from 1, there exists 0<s<1 such that s k s for every k1. Hence,

ρ ( T n k ( x k ) x k ) =ρ ( 1 1 s k ( T n k ( x k ) y k ) ) ρ ( 1 1 s ( T n k ( x k ) y k ) ) .
(6.16)

The right-hand side of this inequality tends to zero because ρ( T n k ( x k ) y k )0 by Lemma 6.2 and ρ satisfies Δ 2 . □

Lemma 6.4 Letρbe(UUC1)satisfying Δ 2 . LetC L ρ be a ρ-closed, ρ-bounded and convex set, andT T r (C). Let{ t k }(0,1)be bounded away from 0 and 1 and{ s k }(0,1)be bounded away from 1. Let{ n k }Nbe such that the generalized Ishikawa processgI(T,{ t k },{ s k },{ n k })is well defined. If, in addition, the setJ={j; n j + 1 =1+ n j }is quasi-periodic, then{ x k }is an approximate fixed point sequence, i.e.,

lim k ρ ( T ( x k ) x k ) =0.
(6.17)

Proof The proof is analogous to that of Lemma 5.4 with (6.11) used instead of (5.6) and (6.14) replacing (5.5). □

Theorem 6.1 Letρ. Assume that

  1. (1)

    ρ is (UCC1),

  2. (2)

    ρ has Strong Opial Property,

  3. (3)

    ρ has Δ 2 property and is uniformly continuous.

LetC L ρ be nonempty, ρ-a.e. compact, convex, strongly ρ-bounded and ρ-closed, and letT T r (C). LetT T r (C). Let{ t k }(0,1)be bounded away from 0 and 1, and{ s k }(0,1)be bounded away from 1. Let{ n k }be such that the generalized Ishikawa processgI(T,{ t k },{ s k },{ n k })is well defined. If, in addition, the setJ={j; n j + 1 =1+ n j }is quasi-periodic, then{ x k }generated bygI(T,{ t k },{ s k },{ n k })converges ρ-a.e. to a fixed pointxF(T).

Proof The proof is analogous to that of Theorem 5.1 with Lemma 5.4 replaced by Lemma 6.4, and Lemma 5.2 replaced by Lemma 6.1. □

7 Strong convergence

It is interesting that, provided C is ρ-compact, both generalized Mann and Ishikawa processes converge strongly to a fixed point of T even without assuming the Opial property.

Theorem 7.1 Letρsatisfy conditions(UUC1)and Δ 2 . LetC L ρ be a ρ-compact, ρ-bounded and convex set, and letT T r (C). Let{ t k }(0,1)be bounded away from 0 and 1, and{ s k }(0,1)be bounded away from 1. Let{ n k }be such that the generalized Mann processgM(T,{ t k },{ n k }) (resp. Ishikawa processgI(T,{ t k },{ s k },{ n k })) is well defined. Then there exists a fixed pointxF(T)such that then{ x k }generated bygM(T,{ t k },{ n k }) (resp. gI(T,{ t k },{ s k },{ n k })) converges strongly to a fixed point of T, that is

lim k ρ( x k x)=0.
(7.1)

Proof By the ρ-compactness of C, we can select a subsequence { x p k } of { x k } such that there exists xC with

lim k ρ ( T ( x p k ) x ) =0.
(7.2)

Note that

ρ ( x p k x 2 ) 1 2 ρ ( x p k T ( x p k ) ) + 1 2 ρ ( T ( x p k x ) ) ,
(7.3)

which tends to zero by Lemma 5.3 (resp. Lemma 6.4) and by (7.2). By Δ 2 it follows from (7.3) that

ρ( x p k x)0as k.
(7.4)

Observe that by the convexity of ρ and by ρ-nonexpansiveness of T, we have

ρ ( T ( x ) x 3 ) 1 3 ρ ( T ( x ) T ( x p k ) ) + 1 3 ρ ( T ( x p k ) x p k ) + 1 3 ρ ( x p k x ) 1 3 ρ ( x x p k ) + 1 3 ρ ( T ( x p k ) x p k ) + 1 3 ρ ( x p k x ) ,
(7.5)

which tends to zero by (7.4) and by Lemma 5.3 (resp. Lemma 6.4). Hence ρ(T(x)x)=0 which implies that xF(T). Applying Lemma 5.2 (resp. Lemma 6.1), we conclude that lim k ρ( x k x) exists. By (7.4) this limit must be equal to zero which implies that

lim k ρ( x k x)=0.
(7.6)

 □

Remark 7.1 Observe that in view of the Δ 2 assumption, the ρ-compactness of the set C assumed in Theorem 7.1 is equivalent to the compactness in the sense of the norm defined by ρ.
