The methods for variational inequality problems and fixed point of κ-strictly pseudononspreading mapping

Abstract

In this paper, we introduce the methods for finding a common element of the set of fixed points of a κ-strictly pseudononspreading mapping and a finite family of the set of solutions of variational inequality problems. The strong convergence theorem of the proposed method is established under some suitable control conditions. Moreover, by using our main result, we prove interesting theorem involving an iterative scheme for finding a common element of the set of fixed points of a κ-strictly pseudononspreading mapping and a finite family of the set of fixed points of a κ i -strictly pseudocontractive mappings.

1 Introduction

Let C be a nonempty closed convex subset of a real Hilbert space H. Recall that the mapping T:CC is said to be nonexpansive if TxTyxy for all x,yC. In 2008, Kohsaka and Takahashi [1] introduced the nonspreading mapping in Hilbert spaces H which is defined as follows: 2 T x T y 2 T x y 2 + x T y 2 , x,yC. Following the terminology of Browder and Petryshyn [2], in 2011, Osilike and Isiogugu [3] introduced that the mapping T:CC is called a κ-strictly pseudononspreading mapping if there exists κ[0,1) such that

T x T y 2 x y 2 +κ ( I T ) x ( I T ) y 2 +2xTx,yTy

for all x,yC. Clearly every nonspreading mapping is κ-strictly pseudononspreading; see, for example, [3]. A point xC is called a fixed point of T if Tx=x. The set of fixed points of T is denoted by F(T)={xC:Tx=x}.

Let A:CH. The variational inequality problem is to find a point uC such that

Au,vu0
(1.1)

for all vC. The set of solutions of (1.1) is denoted by VI(C,A).

The variational inequality has emerged as a fascinating and interesting branch of mathematical and engineering sciences with a wide range of applications in industry, finance, economics, social, ecology, regional, pure and applied sciences; see, e.g., [47].

A mapping A of C into H is called α-inverse strongly monotone (see [8]) if there exists a positive real number α such that

xy,AxAyα A x A y 2

for all x,yC.

In 2003, Takahashi and Toyoda [9] proved a convergence theorem for finding a common element of the set of fixed points of nonexpansive mappings and the set of solutions of variational inequalities for α-inverse strongly monotone mappings as follows.

Theorem 1.1 Let K be a closed convex subset of a real Hilbert space H. Let α>0. Let A be an α-inverse strongly monotone mapping of K into H, and let S be a nonexpansive mapping of K into itself such that F(S)VI(K,A). Let { x n } be a sequence generated by x 0 K and

x n + 1 = α n x n +(1 α n ) SP C (I λ n A) x n

for every n=0,1,2, , where { λ n }[a,b] for some a,b(0,2α) and { α n }[c,d] for some c,d(0,1). Then { x n } converges weakly to z=F(S)VI(K,A), where z= lim n P F ( S ) VI ( K , A ) x n .

Recently, Osilike and Isiogugu [3] proved strong convergence theorems for strictly pseudononspreading mappings as follows.

Theorem 1.2 Let C be a nonempty closed convex subset of a real Hilbert space and let T:CC be a κ-strictly pseudononspreading mapping with a nonempty fixed point set F(T). Let β[k,1) and let { α n } n = 1 be a real sequence in [0,1) such that lim n α n =0 and n = 1 α n =. Let uC and let { x n } n = 1 and { z n } n = 1 be sequences in C generated from an arbitrary x 1 C by

{ x n + 1 = α n u + ( 1 α n ) z n , n 1 , z n = 1 n k = 0 n 1 T β k x n , n 1 ,

where T β =βI+(1β)T. Then { x n } n = 1 and { z n } n = 1 converge strongly to P F ( T ) u, where P F ( T ) :HF(T) is the metric projection of H onto F(T).

Theorem 1.3 Let C be a nonempty closed convex subset of a real Hilbert space and let T:CC be a κ-strictly pseudononspreading mapping with a nonempty fixed point set F(T). Let β[k,1) and let T β =βI+(1β)T. Let { α n } n = 1 be a real sequence in [0,1) satisfying the conditions

  1. (C1)

    lim n α n =0 and

  2. (C2)

    n = 1 α n =.

Let uC be a fixed anchor in C and let { x n } n = 1 be a sequence in C generated from an arbitrary x 1 C by

x n + 1 = α n u+(1 α n ) T β x n ,n1.
(1.2)

Then { x n } n = 1 converges strongly to a fixed point p of T.

Inspired and motivated by [3] and the research in the same direction, we prove a strong convergence theorem of κ-strictly pseudononspreading mappings and introduce the methods for finding a common element of the set of fixed points of a κ-strictly pseudononspreading mapping and a finite family of the set of solutions of variational inequality problems. Moreover, by using our main result, we prove an interesting theorem involving an iterative scheme for finding a common element of the set of fixed points of κ-strictly pseudononspreading mappings and a finite family of the set of fixed points of κ i -strictly pseudocontractive mappings.

2 Preliminaries

We need the following lemmas to prove our main result. Let H be a real Hilbert space and let C be a nonempty closed convex subset of H, let P C be the metric projection of H onto C, i.e., for xH, P C x satisfies the property

x P C x= min y C xy.

The following characterizes the projection P C .

Lemma 2.1 (See [10])

Given xH and yC. Then P C x=y if and only if the following inequality holds:

xy,yz0,zC.

Lemma 2.2 (See [10])

Let H be a Hilbert space, let C be a nonempty closed convex subset of H and let A be a mapping of C into H. Let uC. Then, for λ>0,

u= P C (IλA)uuVI(C,A),

where P C is the metric projection of H onto C.

Lemma 2.3 (See [11])

Let { s n } be a sequence of nonnegative real numbers satisfying

s n + 1 =(1 α n ) s n + δ n ,n0,

where { α n } is a sequence in (0,1) and { δ n } is a sequence such that

  1. (1)

    n = 1 α n =,

  2. (2)

    lim sup n δ n α n 0 or n = 1 | δ n |<.

Then lim n s n =0.

Lemma 2.4 (See [11])

Let { s n } be a sequence of nonnegative real numbers satisfying

s n + 1 =(1 α n ) s n + α n β n ,n0,

where { α n }, { β n } satisfy the conditions

  1. (1)

    { α n }[0,1], n = 1 α n =,

  2. (2)

    lim sup n β n 0 or n = 1 | α n β n |<.

Then lim n s n =0.

Lemma 2.5 (See [12])

Let E be a uniformly convex Banach space, let C be a nonempty closed convex subset of E and let S:CC be a nonexpansive mapping. Then IS is demi-closed at zero.

In 2009, Kangtunykarn and Suantai [13] defined an S-mapping and proved their lemmas as follows.

Definition 2.1 Let C be a nonempty convex subset of a real Banach space. Let { T i } i = 1 N be a finite family of nonexpanxive mappings of C into itself. For each j=1,2,,N, let α j =( α 1 j , α 2 j , α 3 j )I×I×I, where I[0,1] and α 1 j + α 2 j + α 3 j =1. Define the mapping S:CC as follows:

U 0 = I , U 1 = α 1 1 T 1 U 0 + α 2 1 U 0 + α 3 1 I , U 2 = α 1 2 T 2 U 1 + α 2 2 U 1 + α 3 2 I , U 3 = α 1 3 T 3 U 2 + α 2 3 U 2 + α 3 3 I , U N 1 = α 1 N 1 T N 1 U N 2 + α 2 N 1 U N 2 + α 3 N 1 I , S = U N = α 1 N T N U N 1 + α 2 N U N 1 + α 3 N I .
(2.1)

This mapping is called an S-mapping generated by T 1 , T 2 ,, T N and α 1 , α 2 ,, α N .

Lemma 2.6 Let C be a nonempty closed convex subset of strictly convex Banach space. Let { T i } i = 1 N be a finite family of nonexpanxive mappings of C into itself with i = 1 N F( T i ) and let α j =( α 1 j , α 2 j , α 3 j )I×I×I, j=1,2,3,,N, where I=[0,1], α 1 j + α 2 j + α 3 j =1, α 1 j (0,1) for all j=1,2,,N1, α 1 N (0,1], α 2 j , α 3 j [0,1) for all j=1,2,,N. Let S be a mapping generated by T 1 , T 2 ,, T N and α 1 , α 2 ,, α N . Then F(S)= i = 1 N F( T i ).

Remark 2.7 It is easy to see that the mapping S is a nonexpansive mapping.

Lemma 2.8 Let C be a nonempty closed convex subset of H. Let T:CC be a κ-strictly pseudononspreading mapping with F(T). Then F(T)=VI(C,(IT)).

Proof It is easy to see that F(T)VI(C,(IT)). Put A=IT. Let zVI(C,A) and z F(T). Since zVI(C,A), we have

y z , ( I T ) z 0,yC.
(2.2)

Since T is a κ-strictly pseudononspreading mapping, we have

T z T z 2 = ( I A ) z ( I A ) z 2 = ( z z ) ( A z A z ) 2 = z z 2 + A z A z 2 2 z z , A z A z = z z 2 + A z 2 2 z z , A z z z 2 + κ ( I T ) z ( I T ) z 2 + 2 z T z , z T z = z z 2 + κ ( I T ) z 2 ,

which implies that

1 κ 2 z T z 2 z z , ( I T ) z = z z , ( I T ) z 0 .

Then we have zF(T). Therefore VI(C,(IT))F(T). Hence VI(C,(IT))=F(T). □

Remark 2.9 From Lemmas 2.2 and 2.8, we have F(T)=F( P C (Iλ(IT))), λ>0.

Example 2.1 Let T:[1,1][1,1] be defined by

Tx={ x + 4 5 if  x [ 0 , 1 ] , 4 x 5 if  x [ 1 , 0 ) .

To see that T is κ-strictly pseudononspreading, if for all x,y[0,1], then we have Tx= x + 4 5 and Ty= y + 4 5 . From the definition of T, we have

| T x T y | 2 = | x + 4 5 y + 4 5 | 2 = 1 25 | x y | 2 , | ( I T ) x ( I T ) y | 2 = | x T x ( y T y ) | 2 = | x x + 4 5 ( y y + 4 5 ) | 2 = | 4 x 4 5 4 y 4 5 | 2 = | 4 x 4 y 5 | 2 = 16 25 | x y | 2 0

and

2 x T x , y T y = 2 x x + 4 5 , y y + 4 5 = 2 4 x 4 5 , 4 y 4 5 = 32 25 ( x 1 ) ( y 1 ) 0 . ( Since  0 x , y 1 , ( x 1 ) ( y 1 ) 0 . )

From the above, then there exists κ[0,1) such that

| x y | 2 + κ | ( I T ) x ( I T ) y | 2 + 2 x T x , y T y | x y | 2 1 25 | x y | 2 = | T x T y | 2 .

For every x,y[1,0), we have Tx= 4 x 5 , Ty= 4 y 5 . From the definition of T, we have

| T x T y | 2 = | 4 x 5 4 y 5 | 2 = | y x 5 | 2 = 1 25 | x y | 2 , | ( I T ) x ( I T ) y | 2 = | x T x ( y T y ) | 2 = | x 4 x 5 ( y 4 y 5 ) | 2 = | 6 x 4 ( 6 y 4 ) 5 | 2 = 36 25 | x y | 2 0

and

2 x T x , y T y = 2 x 4 x 5 , y 4 y 5 = 2 6 x 4 5 , 6 y 4 5 = 8 25 ( 3 x 2 ) ( 3 y 2 ) = 8 25 ( 3 x ( 3 y 2 ) 2 ( 3 y 2 ) ) = 8 25 ( 9 x y 6 x 6 y + 4 ) > 0 . ( Since  1 x , y < 0 , 9 x y , 6 x , 6 y > 0 . )

From the above, then there exists κ[0,1) such that

| x y | 2 + κ | ( I T ) x ( I T ) y | 2 + 2 x T x , y T y > | x y | 2 1 25 | x y | 2 = | T x T y | 2 .

Finally, for every x[0,1] and y[1,0), we have Tx= x + 4 5 and Ty= 4 y 5 . From the definition of T, we have

| T x T y | 2 = | x + 4 5 4 y 5 | 2 = 1 25 | x + y | 2 , | ( I T ) x ( I T ) y | 2 = | x T x ( y T y ) | 2 = | x x + 4 5 ( y 4 y 5 ) | 2 = | 4 x 4 ( 6 y 4 ) 5 | 2 = 1 25 | 4 x 6 y | 2 0

and

2 x T x , y T y = 2 x x + 4 5 , y 4 y 5 = 2 4 x 4 5 , 6 y 4 5 = 16 25 ( x 1 ) ( 3 y 2 ) = 16 25 ( 3 y ( x 1 ) 2 ( x 1 ) ) = 16 25 ( 3 y ( x 1 ) + 2 ( 1 x ) ) 0 . ( Since  0 x 1  and  1 y < 0 , then  3 y ( x 1 ) , 2 ( 1 x ) 0 . )

From the above, then there exists κ[0,1) such that

| x y | 2 + κ | ( I T ) x ( I T ) y | 2 + 2 x T x , y T y | x y | 2 = x 2 2 x y + y 2 = x 2 + 2 x y + y 2 4 x y ( x + y ) 2 ( Since  4 x y 0 . ) 1 25 | x + y | 2 = | T x T y | 2 .

Then, for all x,y[1,1], we have

| T x T y | 2 | x y | 2 +κ | ( I T ) x ( I T ) y | 2 +2xTx,yTy

for some κ[0,1). Hence T is a κ-strictly pseudononspreading mapping. Observe that 1F(T). From Lemma 2.8, we have 1VI([1,1],IT).

3 Main results

Theorem 3.1 Let H be a real Hilbert space and let C be a nonempty closed convex subset of H. For every i=1,2,,N, let B i :CH be δ i -inverse strongly monotone mappings and let T:CC be a κ-strictly pseudononspreading mapping for some κ[0,1). Let G i :CC be defined by G i x= P C (Iη B i )x for every xC and η(0,2 δ i ) for every i=1,2,,N, and let δ j =( α 1 j , α 2 j , α 3 j )I×I×I, j=1,2,3,,N, where I=[0,1], α 1 j + α 2 j + α 3 j =1, α 1 j (0,1) for all j=1,2,,N1, α 1 N (0,1], α 2 j , α 3 j [0,1) for all j=1,2,,N. Let S:CC be the S-mapping generated by G 1 , G 2 ,, G N and δ 1 , δ 2 ,, δ N . Assume that F=F(T) i = 1 N VI(C, B i ). For every nN, i=1,2,,N, let x 1 ,uC and { x n } be a sequence generated by

x n + 1 = α n u+ β n P C ( I λ n ( I T ) ) x n + γ n S x n ,nN,
(3.1)

where { α n },{ β n },{ γ n },{ λ n }(0,1) such that α n + β n + γ n =1, β n [c,d](0,1), { λ n }(0,1κ) and suppose the following conditions hold:

  1. (i)

    lim n α n =0 and n = 0 α n =,

  2. (ii)

    n = 1 λ n <,

  3. (iii)

    n = 1 | λ n + 1 λ n |, n = 1 | γ n + 1 γ n |, n = 1 | α n + 1 α n |, n = 1 | β n + 1 β n |<.

Then the sequence { x n } converges strongly to z= P F u.

Proof Let x F. First, we show that P C (I λ n A) x n x x n x , where A=IT. From Remark 2.9, we have x F( P C (I λ n A)). From the nonexpansiveness of P C , we have

P C ( I λ n A ) x n x 2 = P C ( I λ n A ) x n P C ( I λ n A ) x 2 ( I λ n A ) x n ( I λ n A ) x 2 .
(3.2)

Since T is a κ-strictly pseudononspreading mapping and A=IT, we have

T x n T x 2 = ( I A ) x n ( I A ) x 2 = ( x n x ) ( A x n A x ) 2 = x n x 2 2 x n x , A x n + A x n 2 x n x 2 + κ A x n A x 2 + 2 A x n , A x = x n x 2 + κ A x n 2 ,

which implies that

(1κ) A x n 2 2 x n x , A x n .
(3.3)

From (3.3), we have

( I λ n A ) x n ( I λ n A ) x 2 = ( x n x ) λ n ( A x n A x ) 2 = x n x 2 2 λ n x n x , A x n + λ n 2 A x n 2 x n x 2 λ n ( 1 κ ) A x n 2 + λ n 2 A x n 2 = x n x 2 λ n ( ( 1 κ ) λ n ) A x n 2 x n x 2 .
(3.4)

From (3.4) and (3.2), we can imply that

P C ( I λ n A ) x n x x n x .
(3.5)

Next, we will show that the mapping G i is a nonexpansive mapping for every i=1,2,,N. Let x,yH. Since B i is δ i -inverse strongly monotone and 0<η<2 δ i , for every i=1,2,,N, we have

( I η B i ) x ( I η B i ) y 2 = x y η ( B i x B i y ) 2 = x y 2 2 η x y , B i x B i y + η 2 B i x B i y 2 x y 2 2 δ i η B i x B i y 2 + η 2 B i x B i y 2 = x y 2 + η ( η 2 δ i ) B i x B i y 2 x y 2 .
(3.6)

Thus (Iη B i ) is a nonexpansive mapping for every i=1,2,,N. The proof of the above result can be also found in Imnang and Suantai [14]. From the definition of G i , we have G i = P C (Iη B i ) are nonexpansive mappings for all i=1,2,,N. Since x F, by Lemma 2.2, we have

x = G i x = P C (Iη B i ) x ,i=1,2,,N.
(3.7)

From Lemma 2.6, we have x F(S). Next, we will show that { x n } is bounded. From the definition of x n and (3.5), we have

x n + 1 x = α n ( u x ) + β n ( P C ( I λ n ( I T ) ) x n x ) + γ n ( S x n x ) α n u x + β n P C ( I λ n ( I T ) ) x n x + γ n S x n x α n u x + ( 1 α n ) x n x .
(3.8)

Put K=max{u x , x 1 x }. From (3.8) we can show by induction that x n x K, nN. This implies that { x n } is bounded and so are {S x n }, { P C (I λ n (IT)) x n }. Next, we will show that

T x n x 1 + κ 1 κ x n x .
(3.9)

Since T is κ-strictly pseudononspreading, we have

T x n x 2 x n x 2 + κ ( I T ) x n ( I T ) x 2 + 2 x n T x n , x T x = x n x 2 + κ ( x n x ) ( T x n x ) 2 = x n x 2 + κ ( x n x 2 + T x n x 2 2 x n x , T x n x ) ,

which implies that

(1κ) T x n x 2 (1+κ) x n x 2 +2κ x n x T x n x .
(3.10)

Putting A=T x n x and B= x n x in (3.10), we have

0 ( 1 κ ) A 2 ( 1 + κ ) B 2 2 κ A B = ( 1 κ ) A 2 κ A B ( ( 1 + κ ) B 2 + κ A B ) = ( 1 κ ) A 2 κ A B + A B ( ( 1 + κ ) B 2 + κ A B + A B ) = ( 1 κ ) ( A 2 + A B ) ( ( 1 + κ ) ( B 2 + A B ) ) = ( 1 κ ) A ( A + B ) ( ( 1 + κ ) B ( B + A ) ) ,

which implies that

A 1 + κ 1 κ B.
(3.11)

From (3.11) we have (3.9). Since x n x K, nN and (3.9), we have {T x n } is bounded.

Next, we will show that

lim n x n + 1 x n =0.
(3.12)

From the definition of x n , we have

x n + 1 x n α n u + β n P C ( I λ n ( I T ) ) x n + γ n S x n α n 1 u β n 1 P C ( I λ n 1 ( I T ) ) x n 1 γ n 1 S x n 1 = α n u + β n P C ( I λ n ( I T ) ) x n β n P C ( I λ n 1 ( I T ) ) x n 1 + β n P C ( I λ n 1 ( I T ) ) x n 1 + γ n S x n γ n S x n 1 + γ n S x n 1 α n 1 u β n 1 P C ( I λ n 1 ( I T ) ) x n 1 γ n 1 S x n 1 | α n α n 1 | u + β n P C ( I λ n ( I T ) ) x n P C ( I λ n 1 ( I T ) ) x n 1 + | β n β n 1 | P C ( I λ n 1 ( I T ) ) x n 1 + γ n S x n S x n 1 + | γ n γ n 1 | S x n 1 | α n α n 1 | u + β n ( x n x n 1 ) λ n ( I T ) x n + λ n ( I T ) x n 1 λ n ( I T ) x n 1 + λ n 1 ( I T ) x n 1 + | β n β n 1 | P C ( I λ n 1 ( I T ) ) x n 1 + γ n x n x n 1 + | γ n γ n 1 | S x n 1 | α n α n 1 | u + β n ( x n x n 1 + λ n ( I T ) x n ( I T ) x n 1 + | λ n λ n 1 | ( I T ) x n 1 ) + | β n β n 1 | P C ( I λ n 1 ( I T ) ) x n 1 + γ n x n x n 1 + | γ n γ n 1 | S x n 1 | α n α n 1 | L + ( 1 α n ) x n x n 1 + λ n L + | λ n λ n 1 | L + | β n β n 1 | L + | γ n γ n 1 | L ,
(3.13)

where L= max n N {u,(IT) x n (IT) x n 1 ,(IT) x n , P C (I λ n (IT)) x n ,S x n }. From Lemma 2.3 and conditions (i)-(iii), we have (3.12). Next, we will show that

lim n x n P C ( I λ n ( I T ) ) x n =0.
(3.14)

From the definition of x n and (3.5), we have

x n + 1 x 2 = α n ( u x ) + β n ( P C ( I λ n ( I T ) ) x n x ) + γ n ( S x n x ) 2 α n u x 2 + β n P C ( I λ n ( I T ) ) x n x 2 + γ n S x n x 2 β n γ n P C ( I λ n ( I T ) ) x n S x n 2 α n u x 2 + ( 1 α n ) x n x 2 β n γ n P C ( I λ n ( I T ) ) x n S x n 2 α n u x 2 + x n x 2 β n γ n P C ( I λ n ( I T ) ) x n S x n 2 ,

which implies that

β n γ n P C ( I λ n ( I T ) ) x n S x n 2 α n u x 2 + x n x 2 x n + 1 x 2 α n u x 2 + ( x n x + x n + 1 x ) x n + 1 x n .
(3.15)

From (3.15) and (3.12), we have

lim n P C ( I λ n ( I T ) ) x n S x n =0.
(3.16)

Since

x n + 1 P C ( I λ n ( I T ) ) x n = α n ( u P C ( I λ n ( I T ) ) x n ) + γ n ( S x n P C ( I λ n ( I T ) ) x n ) ,

from condition (i) and (3.16), we have

lim n x n + 1 P C ( I λ n ( I T ) ) x n =0.
(3.17)

Since

x n P C ( I λ n ( I T ) ) x n x n x n + 1 + x n + 1 P C ( I λ n ( I T ) ) x n ,

from (3.12) and (3.17), we have (3.14). Since

x n + 1 x n = α n (u x n )+ β n ( P C ( I λ n ( I T ) ) x n x n ) + γ n (S x n x n ),

from condition (i) (3.12) and (3.14), we have

lim n S x n x n =0.
(3.18)

Next, we will show that

lim sup n u z 0 , x n z 0 0,
(3.19)

where z 0 = P F u. To show this equality, take a subsequence { x n m } of { x n } such that

lim sup n u z 0 , x n z 0 = lim m u z 0 , x n m z 0 .
(3.20)

Without loss of generality, we may assume that x n m ω as m where ωC. We shall show that ωF(T). From Remark 2.9, we have F(T)=F( P C (I λ n m (IT))). Assume that ω P C (I λ n m (IT))ω. Since x n m ω as m, by Opial’s property, (3.14) and condition (ii), we have

lim inf m x n m ω < lim inf m x n m P C ( I λ n m ( I T ) ) ω lim inf m ( x n m P C ( I λ n m ( I T ) ) x n m + P C ( I λ n m ( I T ) ) x n m P C ( I λ n m ( I T ) ) ω ) lim inf m ( x n m P C ( I λ n m ( I T ) ) x n m + x n m ω + λ n m ( I T ) x n m ( I T ) ω ) lim inf m x n m ω .

This is a contradiction. Then ωF(T). From (3.18), we have

lim m S x n m x n m =0.

From the nonexpansiveness of S, x n m ω as m and Lemma 2.5, we can imply that

ωF(S).
(3.21)

Since P C (Iη B i )x= G i x for every xC and i=1,2,,N, by Lemma 2.2, we have

VI(C, B i )=F ( P C ( I η B i ) ) =F( G i ),i=1,2,,N.

By Lemma 2.6, we have

F(S)= i = 1 N F( G i )= i = 1 N VI(C, B i ).
(3.22)

From (3.21) and (3.22), we have ω i = 1 N VI(C, B i ). Hence ωF. Since x n m ω as m and ωF, we have

lim sup n u z 0 , x n z 0 = lim m u z 0 , x n m z 0 =u z 0 ,ω z 0 0.

Finally, we show that { x n } converges strongly to z 0 = P F u. From the definition of x n and (3.5), we have

x n + 1 z 0 2 = α n ( u z 0 ) + β n ( P C ( I λ n ( I T ) ) x n z 0 ) + γ n ( S x n z 0 ) 2 β n ( P C ( I λ n ( I T ) ) x n z 0 ) + γ n ( S x n z 0 ) 2 + 2 α n ( u z 0 ) , x n + 1 z 0 β n P C ( I λ n ( I T ) ) x n z 0 2 + γ n S x n z 0 2 + 2 α n u z 0 , x n + 1 z 0 ( 1 α n ) x n z 0 2 + 2 α n u z 0 , x n + 1 z 0 .

From (3.19) and Lemma 2.4, we have { x n } converges strongly to z 0 = P F u. This completes the proof. □

The following result can be obtained from Theorem 3.1. We, therefore, omit the proof.

Corollary 3.2 Let C be a nonempty closed convex subset of a real Hilbert space H. Let B:CH be a δ-inverse strongly monotone mapping and let T:CC be a κ-strictly pseudononspreading mapping for some κ[0,1). Assume that F=F(T)VI(C,B). For every nN, let x 1 ,uC and { x n } be a sequence generated by

x n + 1 = α n u+ β n P C ( I λ n ( I T ) ) x n + γ n P C (IηB) x n ,nN,
(3.23)

where { α n },{ β n },{ γ n },{ λ n }(0,1) such that α n + β n + γ n =1, β n [c,d](0,1), λ n (0,1κ), and η(0,2δ), and suppose that the following conditions hold:

  1. (i)

    lim n α n =0 and n = 0 α n =,

  2. (ii)

    n = 1 λ n <,

  3. (iii)

    n = 1 | λ n + 1 λ n |, n = 1 | γ n + 1 γ n |, n = 1 | α n + 1 α n |, n = 1 | β n + 1 β n |<.

Then the sequence { x n } converges strongly to z= P F u.

4 Application

In this section, by using our main result, we prove strong a convergence theorem involving a strictly pseudononspreading mapping and a finite family of strictly pseudocontractive mappings. Before proving the next theorem, we need the following definition.

Definition 4.1 The mapping T:CC is said to be strictly pseudocontractive [2] with the coefficient κ[0,1) if

T x T y 2 x y 2 +κ ( I T ) x ( I T ) y 2 x,yC.
(4.1)

Remark 4.1 If C is a nonempty closed convex subset of H and T:CC is a κ-strictly pseudocontractive mapping with F(T), then F(T)=VI(C,(IT)). To show this, put A=IT. Let zVI(C,(IT)) and z F(T). Since zVI(C,(IT)), yz,(IT)z0, yC. Since T:CC is a κ-strictly pseudocontractive mapping, we have

T z T z 2 = ( I A ) z ( I A ) z 2 = z z ( A z A z ) 2 = z z 2 2 z z , A z A z + A z A z 2 = z z 2 2 z z , ( I T ) z + ( I T ) z 2 z z 2 + κ ( I T ) z 2 .

It implies that

(1κ) ( I T ) z 2 2 z z , ( I T ) z 0.

Then we have z=Tz, therefore zF(T). Hence VI(C,(IT))F(T). It is easy to see that F(T)VI(C,(IT)).

Remark 4.2 A=IT is a 1 κ 2 -inverse strongly monotone mapping. To show this, let x,yC, we have

T x T y 2 = ( I A ) x ( I A ) y 2 = x y ( A x A y ) 2 = x y 2 2 x y , A x A y + A x A y 2 x y 2 + κ ( I T ) x ( I T ) y 2 = x y 2 + κ A x A y 2 .

Then we have

xy,AxAy 1 κ 2 A x A y 2 .

Theorem 4.3 Let H be a real Hilbert space and let C be a nonempty closed convex subset of H. Let T i k :CC be κ i -strictly pseudocontractive mappings for every i=1,2,,N, and let T:CC be a κ-strictly pseudononspreading mapping for some κ[0,1). Let F i :CC be defined by P C (Iη(I T i k ))x= F i x for every xC and η(0,1 κ i ) for every i=1,2,,N, and let δ j =( α 1 j , α 2 j , α 3 j )I×I×I, j=1,2,3,,N, where I=[0,1], α 1 j + α 2 j + α 3 j =1, α 1 j (0,1) for all j=1,2,,N1, α 1 N (0,1], α 2 j , α 3 j [0,1) for all j=1,2,,N. Let S:CC be the S-mapping generated by F 1 , F 2 ,, F N and δ 1 , δ 2 ,, δ N . Assume that F=F(T) i = 1 N F( T i k ). For every nN, i=1,2,,N, let x 1 ,uC and { x n } be a sequence generated by

x n + 1 = α n u+ β n P C ( I λ n ( I T ) ) x n + γ n S x n ,nN,

where { α n },{ β n },{ γ n },{ λ n }(0,1) such that α n + β n + γ n =1, β n [c,d](0,1), λ n (0,1κ) and suppose that the following conditions hold:

  1. (i)

    lim n α n =0 and n = 0 α n =,

  2. (ii)

    n = 1 λ n <,

  3. (iii)

    n = 1 | λ n + 1 λ n |, n = 1 | γ n + 1 γ n |, n = 1 | α n + 1 α n |, n = 1 | β n + 1 β n |<.

Then the sequence { x n } converges strongly to z= P F u.

Proof From Remark 4.2, we have I T i k is 1 κ i 2 -inverse strongly monotone for every i=1,2,,N. From Remark 4.1 and Lemma 2.2, we have F( T i k )=VI(C,(I T i k ))=F( P C (Iη(I T i k ))) for every i=1,2,,N. Put I T i k B i and δ i = 1 κ i 2 for every i=1,2,,N in Theorem 3.1. The conclusion of Theorem 4.3 can be obtained from Theorem 3.1 □
