1 Introduction

The theory of iterative algorithms is a popular research topic of common interest in two areas of nonlinear analysis and optimization. Applications of iterative algorithms are found in a wide range of areas, including economics, image recovery, optimization, signal processing and a lot of real world applications; see [122] and the references therein. Many well-known problems can be studied by using algorithms which are iterative in their nature. As an example, in computer tomography with limited data, each piece of information implies the existence of a convex set C m in which the required solution lies. The problem of finding a point in the intersection m = 1 N C m , where N1 is some positive integer, is then of crucial interest, and it cannot be usually solved directly. Therefore, an iterative algorithm must be used to approximate such a point.

The purpose of this paper is to investigate a hybrid projection algorithm for a pair of generalized asymptotically quasi-ϕ-nonexpansive mappings. The organization of this paper is as follows. In Section 2, we provide some necessary preliminaries. In Section 3, a modified Halpern iterative algorithm is investigated. Strong convergence of the purposed algorithm is obtained in a uniformly convex and uniformly smooth Banach space. Some subresults are also deduced.

2 Preliminaries

Let E be a real Banach space, C be a nonempty subset of E and T:CC be a nonlinear mapping. The mapping T is said to be asymptotically regular on C if for any bounded subset K of C,

lim sup n { T n + 1 x T n x : x K } =0.

The mapping T is said to be closed if for any sequence { x n }C such that lim n x n = x 0 and lim n T x n = y 0 , then T x 0 = y 0 . A point xC is a fixed point of T provided Tx=x. In this paper, we use F(T) to denote the fixed point set of T and use → and to denote the strong convergence and weak convergence, respectively.

Recall that the mapping T is said to be nonexpansive if

TxTyxy,x,yC.

T is said to be asymptotically nonexpansive if there exists a sequence { k n }[1,) with k n 1 as n such that

T n x T n y k n xy,x,yC,n1.

The class of asymptotically nonexpansive mappings was introduced by Goebel and Kirk [23] in 1972. In uniformly convex Banach spaces, they proved that if C is nonempty bounded closed and convex, then every asymptotically nonexpansive self-mapping T on C has a fixed point. Further, the fixed point set of T is closed and convex. Since 1972, a host of authors have studied the weak and strong convergence of iterative algorithms for such a class of mappings.

One of classical iterations is the Halpern iteration [24] which generates a sequence in the following manner:

x 1 C, x n + 1 = α n u+(1 α n )T x n ,n1,
(2.1)

where { α n } is a sequence in the interval (0,1) and uC is a fixed element.

Since 1967, the Halpern iteration has been studied extensively by many authors; see, for example, [2531]. It is well known that the following two restrictions

  1. (C1)

    lim n α n =0;

  2. (C2)

    n = 1 α n =

are necessary if the Halpern iterative sequence is strongly convergent for all nonexpansive self-mappings defined on C. To improve the rate of convergence of the Halpern iterative sequence, we cannot rely only on the iteration itself. Hybrid projection methods recently have been applied to solve the problem.

Martinez-Yanes and Xu [27] considered the hybrid projection algorithm for a single nonexpansive mapping in a Hilbert space. Strong convergence theorems are established under condition (C1) only imposed on the control sequence. To be more precise, they proved the following theorem.

Theorem 2.1 Let H be a real Hilbert space, C be a closed convex subset of H and T:CC be a nonexpansive mapping such that F(T). Assume that { α n }(0,1) is such that lim n α n =0. Then the sequence { x n } defined by

{ x 0 C chosen arbitrarily , y n = α n x 0 + ( 1 α n ) T x n , C n = { z C : y n z 2 x n z 2 + α n ( x 0 2 + 2 x n x 0 , z ) } , Q n = { z C : x 0 x n , x n z 0 } , x n + 1 = P C n Q n x 0 , n 0 ,
(2.2)

converges strongly to P F ( T ) x 0 .

Recently, some authors considered the problem of extending Theorem MYX to a Banach space. In this paper, we consider, in the framework of Banach spaces, the problem of modifying the Halpern iteration by hybrid projection algorithms such that strong convergence is available under assumption (C1) only. Before proceeding further, we give some definitions and propositions in Banach spaces first.

Let E be a Banach space with the dual E . We denote by J the normalized duality mapping from E to 2 E defined by

Jx= { f E : x , f = x 2 = f 2 } ,

where , denotes the generalized duality pairing.

A Banach space E is said to be strictly convex if x + y 2 <1 for all x,yE with x=y=1 and xy. It is said to be uniformly convex if lim n x n y n =0 for any two sequences { x n } and { y n } in E such that x n = y n =1 and lim n x n + y n 2 =1. Let U E ={xE:x=1} be the unit sphere of E. Then the Banach space E is said to be smooth provided

lim t 0 x + t y x t
(2.3)

exists for each x,y U E . It is also said to be uniformly smooth if the limit (2.3) is attained uniformly for x,y U E . It is well known that if E is uniformly smooth, then J is uniformly norm-to-norm continuous on each bounded subset of E. It is also well known that E is uniformly smooth if and only if E is uniformly convex.

Recall that a Banach space E enjoys the Kadec-Klee property if for any sequence { x n }E, and xE with x n x, and x n x, then x n x0 as n. For more details on the Kadec-Klee property, the readers can refer to [32] and the references therein. It is well known that if E is a uniformly convex Banach space, then E enjoys the Kadec-Klee property.

As we all know, if C is a nonempty closed convex subset of a Hilbert space H and P C :HC is the metric projection of H onto C, then P C is nonexpansive. This fact actually characterizes Hilbert spaces and, consequently, it is not available in more general Banach spaces. In this connection, Alber [33] recently introduced a generalized projection operator Π C in a Banach space E which is an analogue of the metric projection in Hilbert spaces.

Next, we assume that E is a smooth Banach space. Consider the functional defined by

ϕ(x,y)= x 2 2x,Jy+ y 2 for x,yE.
(2.4)

Observe that, in a Hilbert space H, (2.4) is reduced to ϕ(x,y)= x y 2 , x,yH. The generalized projection Π C :EC is a map that assigns to an arbitrary point xE the minimum point of the functional ϕ(x,y), that is, Π C x= x ¯ , where x ¯ is the solution to the minimization problem

ϕ( x ¯ ,x)= min y C ϕ(y,x).

Existence and uniqueness of the operator Π C follows from the properties of the functional ϕ(x,y) and strict monotonicity of the mapping J; see, for example, [32]. In Hilbert spaces, Π C = P C . It is obvious from the definition of a function ϕ that

( x y ) 2 ϕ(x,y) ( y + x ) 2 ,x,yE,
(2.5)
ϕ(x,y)=ϕ(x,z)+ϕ(z,y)+2xz,JzJy,x,y,zE.
(2.6)

Remark 2.2 If E is a reflexive, strictly convex and smooth Banach space, then for x,yE, ϕ(x,y)=0 if and only if x=y. It is sufficient to show that if ϕ(x,y)=0, then x=y. From (2.5), we have x=y. This implies that x,Jy= x 2 = J y 2 . From the definition of J, we have Jx=Jy. Therefore, we have x=y; for more details, see [32] and the references therein.

Let C be a nonempty closed convex subset of E and T be a mapping from C into itself. A point p in C is said to be an asymptotic fixed point of T if C contains a sequence { x n } which converges weakly to p such that lim n x n T x n =0. The set of asymptotic fixed points of T will be denoted by F ˜ (T). A mapping T from C into itself is said to be relatively nonexpansive if F ˜ (T)=F(T) and ϕ(p,Tx)ϕ(p,x) for all xC and pF(T). The mapping T is said to be relatively asymptotically nonexpansive [34] if F ˜ (T)=F(T) and there exists a sequence { k n }[1,) with k n 1 as n such that ϕ(p,Tx) k n ϕ(p,x) for all xC, pF(T) and n1.

The mapping T is said to be quasi-ϕ-nonexpansive [35] if F(T) and ϕ(p,Tx)ϕ(p,x) for all xC and pF(T). T is said to be asymptotically quasi-ϕ-nonexpansive [36] and [37] if F(T) and there exists a sequence { k n }[0,) with k n 1 as n such that ϕ(p,Tx) k n ϕ(p,x) for all xC, pF(T) and n1.

Remark 2.3 The class of asymptotically quasi-ϕ-nonexpansive mappings is more general than the class of relatively asymptotically nonexpansive mappings which requires the restriction F(T)= F ˜ (T).

Recently, Qin et al. [29] further improved the above results by considering the so-called shrinking projection method for a quasi-ϕ-nonexpansive mapping. To be more precise, they proved the following theorem.

Theorem 2.4 Let C be a nonempty closed and convex subset of a uniformly convex and uniformly smooth Banach space E, and let T:CC be a closed and quasi-ϕ-nonexpansive mapping such that F(T). Let { x n } be a sequence generated in the following manner:

{ x 0 E chosen arbitrarily , C 1 = C , x 1 = Π C 1 x 0 , y n = J 1 [ α n J x 1 + ( 1 α n ) J T x n ] , C n + 1 = { z C n : ϕ ( z , y n ) α n ϕ ( z , x 0 ) + ( 1 α n ) ϕ ( z , x n ) } , x n + 1 = Π C n + 1 x 1 .
(2.7)

Assume that the control sequence satisfies the restriction lim n α n =0. Then { x n } converges strongly to Π F ( T ) x 1 .

Recently, Qin et al. [38] introduced a class of generalized asymptotically quasi-ϕ-nonexpansive mappings. Recall that a mapping T is said to be generalized asymptotically quasi-ϕ-nonexpansive if F(T) and there exist a sequence { μ n }[1,) with μ n 1 as n and a sequence { ν n }[0,) with ν n 0 as n such that ϕ(p,Tx) μ n ϕ(p,x)+ ν n for all xC, pF(T) and n1.

In E is a Hilbert space, the mapping T is reduced to a generalized asymptotically quasi-nonexpansive mapping, which was considered by Agarwal et al. [39], Shahzad and Zegeye [40] and Lan [41]. Next, we give examples of the mapping.

Let E= R 1 and C=[0,1]. Define the following mapping T:CC by

Tx={ 1 2 x , x [ 0 , 1 2 ] , 0 , x ( 1 2 , 1 ] .

Then T is a generalized asymptotically ϕ-nonexpansive mapping with the fixed point set {0}. We also have the following

ϕ ( T n x , T n y ) = | T n x T n y | 2 = 1 2 2 n | x y | 2 | x y | 2 = ϕ ( x , y ) , x , y [ 0 , 1 2 ] , ϕ ( T n x , T n y ) = | T n x T n y | 2 = 0 | x y | 2 = ϕ ( x , y ) , x , y ( 1 2 , 1 ]

and

ϕ ( T n x , T n y ) = | T n x T n y | 2 = | 1 2 n x 0 | 2 ( 1 2 n | x y | + 1 2 n | y | ) 2 ( | x y | + 1 2 n ) 2 | x y | 2 + ξ n = ϕ ( x , y ) + ξ n , x [ 0 , 1 2 ] , y ( 1 2 , 1 ] ,

where ξ n = 1 2 2 n + 1 2 n 1 . Hence, we have

ϕ ( T n x , T n y ) ϕ(x,y)+ ξ n ,x,y[0,1].

This shows that T a generalized asymptotically ϕ-nonexpansive mapping instead of an asymptotically ϕ-nonexpansive mapping.

Let E= l 2 with the norm defined by x= i = 1 x i 2 and

C= { x = ( x 1 , x 2 , , x n , ) | x 1 0 , x i R , i = 2 , 3 , } .

Define T:CC by

Tx=(0,4 x 1 ,0,),xC.

Then T is generalized asymptotically quasi-ϕ-nonexpansive but not asymptotically quasi-ϕ-nonexpansive; for more details, see Lan [41] and the references therein.

In this paper, motivated by the above results, we investigate a hybrid projection algorithm for a pair of generalized asymptotically quasi-ϕ-nonexpansive mappings. Strong convergence of the purposed algorithm is obtained in a uniformly convex and smooth Banach space. The results presented in this paper mainly improve the corresponding results in Wu and Hao [25], Cho et al. [26], Martinez-Yanes and Xu [27], Plubtieng and Ungchittrakool [28], Qin et al. [29] and Qin and Su [31].

In order to give our main results, we need the following lemmas.

Lemma 2.5 [33]

Let C be a nonempty closed convex subset of a smooth Banach space E and xE. Then x 0 = Π C x if and only if

x 0 y,JxJ x 0 0,yC.

Lemma 2.6 [33]

Let E be a reflexive, strictly convex and smooth Banach space, C be a nonempty closed convex subset of E and xE. Then

ϕ(y, Π C x)+ϕ( Π C x,x)ϕ(y,x),yC.

Lemma 2.7 [42]

Let E be a uniformly convex Banach space and B r (0) be a closed ball of X. Then there exists a continuous strictly increasing convex function g:[0,)[0,) with g(0)=0 such that

λ x + μ y + γ z 2 λ x 2 +μ y 2 +γ z 2 λμg ( x y )

for all x,y,z B r (0) and λ,μ,γ[0,1] with λ+μ+γ=1.

Lemma 2.8 [43]

Let E be a uniformly convex and smooth Banach space, and let { x n } and { y n } be two sequences of E. If ϕ( x n , y n )0 and either { x n } or { y n } is bounded, then x n y n 0.

3 Main results

Theorem 3.1 Let E be a uniformly convex and uniformly smooth Banach space. Let C be a nonempty closed and convex subset of E. Let T:CC be a closed and generalized asymptotically quasi-ϕ-nonexpansive mapping with a sequence { e n }[1,) such that e n 1 as n and a sequence { μ n }[0,), where ν n 0 as n. Let S:CC be a closed and generalized asymptotically quasi-ϕ-nonexpansive mapping with a sequence { f n }[1,) such that f n 1 as n and a sequence { ν n }[0,), where ν n 0 as n. Assume that T and S are asymptotically regular on C and F=F(T)F(S) is nonempty and bounded. Let { x n } be a sequence generated in the following manner:

{ x 0 E chosen arbitrarily , C 1 = C , x 1 = Π C 1 x 0 , z n = J 1 ( β n J x n + γ n J T n x n + δ n J S n x n ) , y n = J 1 ( α n J x 1 + ( 1 α n ) J z n ) , C n + 1 = { z C n : ϕ ( z , y n ) ϕ ( z , x n ) + α n ( x 1 2 + 2 z , J x n J x 1 ) + ( k n 1 ) M n + ξ n } , x n + 1 = Π C n + 1 x 1 ,

where k n =max{ e n , f n }, ξ n =max{ μ n , ν n }, M n =sup{ϕ(z, x n ):zF} for each n1 and { α n }, { β n }, { γ n } and { δ n } are real sequences in (0,1) such that

  1. (a)

    β n + γ n + δ n =1;

  2. (b)

    lim n α n = lim n β n =0;

  3. (c)

    lim inf n γ n δ n >0.

Then the sequence { x n } converges strongly to Π F x 1 , where Π F is the generalized projection from C onto .

Proof First, we show that is closed and convex. Since T and S are closed, we can easily conclude that F(T) and F(S) are also closed. This proves that is closed. Next, we prove the convexity of . Let p 1 , p 2 F(T), and p=t p 1 +(1t) p 2 , where t(0,1). We see that p=Tp. Indeed, we see from the definition of T that

ϕ ( p 1 , T n p ) k n ϕ( p 1 ,p)+ ξ n
(3.1)

and

ϕ ( p 2 , T n p ) k n ϕ( p 2 ,p)+ ξ n .
(3.2)

In view of (2.6), we obtain that

ϕ ( p 1 , T n p ) =ϕ( p 1 ,p)+ϕ ( p , T n p ) +2 p 1 p , J p J T n p
(3.3)

and

ϕ ( p 1 , T n p ) =ϕ( p 1 ,p)+ϕ ( p , T n p ) +2 p 1 p , J p J T n p .
(3.4)

Combining (3.1), (3.2), (3.3) with (3.4) yields that

ϕ ( p , T n p ) ( k n 1)ϕ( p 1 ,p)+2 p p 1 , J p J T n p + ξ n
(3.5)

and

ϕ ( p , T n p ) ( k n 1)ϕ( p 2 ,p)+2 p p 2 , J p J T n p + ξ n .
(3.6)

Multiplying t and (1t) on the both sides of (3.5) and (3.6), respectively, yields that

lim n ϕ ( p , T n p ) =0.

By Lemma 2.8, we see that T n pp as n. Hence T T n p= T n + 1 pp as n. In view of the closedness of T, we can obtain that pF(T). This shows that F(T) is convex. In the way, we can obtain that F(S) is also convex. This completes the proof that is closed and convex.

Now, we show that C n is closed and convex for each n1. It is obvious that C 1 =C is closed and convex. Suppose that C h is closed and convex for some hN. For z C h , we see that

ϕ(z, y h )ϕ(z, x h )+ α h ( x 1 2 + 2 z , J x h J x 1 ) +( k h 1) M h + ξ h

is equivalent to

2z,J x h J y h +2 α h z,J x 1 J x h x h 2 y h 2 + α h x 1 2 +( k h 1) M h + ξ h .

It is not hard to see that C h + 1 is closed and convex. Then, for each n1, C n is closed and convex. This shows that Π C n + 1 x 1 is well defined.

Next, we prove that F C n for each n1. F C 1 =C is obvious. Suppose that F C h for some hN. Then, wF C h , we find from Lemma 2.7 that

ϕ ( w , z h ) = ϕ ( w , J 1 ( β h J x h + γ h J T h x h + δ h J S h x h ) ) = w 2 2 w , β h J x h + γ h J T h x h + δ h J S h x h + β h J x h + γ h J T h x h + δ h J S h x h 2 w 2 2 β h w , J x h 2 γ h w , J T h x h 2 δ h w , J S h x h + β h x h 2 + γ h T h x h 2 + δ h S h x h 2 = β h ϕ ( w , x h ) + γ h ϕ ( w , T h x h ) + δ h ϕ ( w , S h x h ) β h ϕ ( w , x h ) + γ h k h ϕ ( w , x h ) + γ h ξ n + δ h k h ϕ ( w , x h ) + δ h ξ h ϕ ( w , x h ) + ( k h 1 ) ϕ ( w , x h ) + ξ h .

It follows that

ϕ ( w , y h ) = ϕ ( w , J 1 ( α h J x 1 + ( 1 α h ) J z h ) ) = w 2 2 w , α h J x 1 + ( 1 α h ) J T h x h + α h J x 1 + ( 1 α h ) J z h 2 w 2 2 α h w , J x 1 2 ( 1 α h ) w , J z h + α h x 1 2 + ( 1 α h ) z h 2 = α h ϕ ( w , x 1 ) + ( 1 α h ) ϕ ( w , z h ) α h ϕ ( w , x 1 ) + ( 1 α h ) ϕ ( w , x h ) + ( k h 1 ) ( 1 α h ) ϕ ( w , x h ) + ξ h ϕ ( w , x h ) + α h ( ϕ ( w , x 1 ) ϕ ( w , x h ) ) + ( k h 1 ) ( 1 α h ) ϕ ( w , x h ) + ξ h ϕ ( w , x h ) + α h ( x 1 2 + 2 w , J x h J x 1 ) + ( k h 1 ) M h + ξ h .

This shows that w C h + 1 . This implies that F C n . In view of x n = Π C n x 1 , we see that

x n z,J x 1 J x n 0,z C n .

By F C n , we find that

x n w,J x 1 J x n 0,wF.
(3.7)

From Lemma 2.6, we see that

ϕ( x n , x 1 )=ϕ( Π C n x 1 , x 1 )ϕ(w, x 1 )ϕ(w, x n )ϕ(w, x 1 )

for each wF C n . Therefore, the sequence ϕ( x n , x 1 ) is bounded. This implies that { x n } is bounded. On the other hand, in view of x n = Π C n x 1 and x n + 1 = Π C n + 1 x 1 C n + 1 C n , we have

ϕ( x n , x 1 )ϕ( x n + 1 , x 1 ),n1.

Therefore, {ϕ( x n , x 1 )} is nondecreasing. It follows that the limit of {ϕ( x n , x 1 )} exists. By the construction of C n , we have that C m C n and x m = Π C m x 1 C n for any positive integer mn. It follows that

ϕ ( x m , x n ) = ϕ ( x m , Π C n x 1 ) ϕ ( x m , x 1 ) ϕ ( Π C n x 1 , x 1 ) = ϕ ( x m , x 1 ) ϕ ( x n , x 1 ) .
(3.8)

Letting m,n in (3.8), we see that ϕ( x m , x n )0. It follows from Lemma 2.8 that x m x n 0 as m,n. Hence, { x n } is a Cauchy sequence. Since E is a Banach space and C is closed and convex, we can assume that

lim n x n =pC.
(3.9)

Now, we are in a position to show pF(T)F(S). By taking m=n+1, we obtain that

lim n ϕ( x n + 1 , x n )=0.
(3.10)

In view of Lemma 2.8, we see that

lim n x n + 1 x n =0.
(3.11)

Since x n + 1 C n + 1 , we obtain that

ϕ( x n + 1 , y n )ϕ( x n + 1 , x n )+ α n ( x 1 2 + 2 z , J x n J x 1 ) +( k n 1) M n + ξ n .

In view of condition (b), we find from (3.10) that

lim n ϕ( x n + 1 , y n )=0.
(3.12)

This in turn implies from Lemma 2.8 that

lim n x n + 1 y n =0.
(3.13)

Note that

x n y n x n x n + 1 + x n + 1 y n .

Combining (3.11) with (3.13) yields that

lim n x n y n =0.
(3.14)

Since J is uniformly norm-to-norm continuous on bounded sets, we have

lim n J x n J y n =0.
(3.15)

On the other hand, we have J y n J z n = α n (J x 1 J z n ). In view of condition (a), we see that

lim n J y n J z n =0.
(3.16)

Note that

J x n J z n J x n J y n +J y n J z n .

Combining (3.15) with (3.16), we arrive at

lim n J x n J z n =0.
(3.17)

Since J 1 is also uniformly norm-to-norm continuous on bounded sets, we obtain that

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

Since E is a uniformly smooth Banach space, we know that E is a uniformly convex Banach space. Let r= sup n 1 { x n , T n x n , S n x n }. From Lemma 2.8, we have

ϕ ( w , z n ) = ϕ ( w , J 1 ( β n J x n + γ n J T n x n + δ n J S n x n ) ) = w 2 2 w , β n J x n + γ n J T n x n + δ n J S n x n + β n J x n + γ n J T n x n + δ n J S n x n 2 w 2 2 β n w , J x n 2 γ n w , J T n x n 2 δ n w , J S n x n + β n x n 2 + γ n T n x n 2 + δ n S n x n 2 γ n δ n g ( J T n x n J S n x n ) β n ϕ ( w , x n ) + γ n ϕ ( w , T n x n ) + δ n ϕ ( w , S n x n ) γ n δ n g ( J T n x n J S n x n ) β n ϕ ( w , x n ) + γ n k n ϕ ( w , x n ) + δ n k n ϕ ( w , x n ) γ n δ n g ( J T n x n J S n x n ) + ξ n ϕ ( w , x n ) + ( k n 1 ) ϕ ( w , x n ) γ n δ n g ( J T n x n J S n x n ) + ξ n .

It follows that

γ n δ n g ( J T n x n J S n x n ) ϕ(w, x n )ϕ(w, z n )+( k n 1)ϕ(w, x n )+ ξ n .
(3.19)

On the other hand, we have

ϕ ( w , x n ) ϕ ( w , z n ) = x n 2 z n 2 2 w , J x n J z n x n z n ( x n + z n ) + 2 w J x n J z n .

It follows from (3.17) and (3.18) that

ϕ(w, x n )ϕ(w, z n )0as n.
(3.20)

In view of the assumption lim inf n γ n δ n >0, we find from (3.19) that

lim n g ( J T n x n J S n x n ) =0.

It follows from the property of g that

lim n J T n x n J S n x n =0.
(3.21)

Since J 1 is also uniformly norm-to-norm continuous on bounded sets, we arrive at

lim n T n x n S n x n =0.
(3.22)

On the other hand, we have

ϕ ( T n x n , S n x n ) = T n x n 2 2 T n x n , J S n x n + S n x n 2 = T n x n 2 2 T n x n , J T n x n + 2 T n x n , J T n x n J S n x n + S n x n 2 S n x n 2 T n x n 2 + 2 T n x n J T n x n J S n x n ( S n x n + T n x n ) S n x n T n x n + 2 T n x n J T n x n J S n x n .

From (3.21) and (3.22), we arrive at

lim n ϕ ( T n x n , S n x n ) =0.
(3.23)

On the other hand, we have

ϕ ( T n x n , z n ) = ϕ ( T n x n , J 1 ( β n J x n + γ n J T n x n + δ n J S n x n ) ) = T n x n 2 2 T n x n , β n J x n + γ n J T n x n + δ n J S n x n + β n J x n + γ n J T n x n + δ n J S n x n 2 T n x n 2 2 β n T n x n , J x n 2 γ n T n x n , J T n x n 2 δ n T n x n , J S n x n + β n x n 2 + γ n T n x n 2 + δ n S n x n 2 β n ϕ ( T n x n , x n ) + δ n ϕ ( T n x n , S n x n ) .

In view of restriction (a), we find (3.23) that

lim n ϕ ( T n x n , z n ) =0.
(3.24)

It follows from Lemma 2.8 that

lim n T n x n z n =0.
(3.25)

Note that

T n x n p T n x n z n + z n x n + x n p.

In view of (3.9), (3.18) and (3.25), we find that

lim n T n x n p =0.
(3.26)

On the other hand, we have

T n + 1 x n p T n + 1 x n T n x n + T n x n p .

Since T is asymptotically regular, we obtain that

lim n T n + 1 x n p =0.

That is, T T n x n p as n. From the closedness of T, we see that pF(T). In the same way, we can also obtain that pF(S). This shows that pF.

Finally, we show that p= Π F x 1 . Taking the limit as n in (3.7), we obtain that

pw,J x 1 Jp0,wF,

and hence p= Π F x 1 by Lemma 2.5. This completes the proof. □

Remark 3.2 Theorem 3.1 includes Theorem 2.4 in Section 2 as a special case. The framework of the space can be applicable to L p , where p1. More precisely, L p is min{p,2}-uniformly smooth and uniformly convex for every p1.

In the framework of Hilbert spaces, we find the following.

Corollary 3.3 Let E be a Hilbert space. Let C be a nonempty closed and convex subset of E. Let T:CC be a closed and generalized asymptotically quasi-nonexpansive mapping with a sequence { e n }[1,) such that e n 1 as n and a sequence { μ n }[0,), where ν n 0 as n. Let S:CC be a closed and generalized asymptotically quasi-nonexpansive mapping with a sequence { f n }[1,) such that f n 1 as n and a sequence { ν n }[0,), where ν n 0 as n. Assume that T and S are asymptotically regular on C and F=F(T)F(S) is nonempty and bounded. Let { x n } be a sequence generated in the following manner:

{ x 0 E chosen arbitrarily , C 1 = C , x 1 = P C 1 x 0 , z n = β n x n + γ n T n x n + δ n J S n x n , y n = α n x 1 + ( 1 α n ) z n , C n + 1 = { z C n : z y n 2 z x n 2 + α n ( x 1 2 + 2 z , x n x 1 ) + ( k n 1 ) M n + ξ n } , x n + 1 = P C n + 1 x 1 ,

where k n =max{ e n , f n }, ξ n =max{ μ n , ν n }, M n =sup{ z x n 2 :zF} for each n1 and { α n }, { β n }, { γ n } and { δ n } are real sequences in (0,1) such that

  1. (a)

    β n + γ n + δ n =1;

  2. (b)

    lim n α n = lim n β n =0;

  3. (c)

    lim inf n γ n δ n >0.

Then the sequence { x n } converges strongly to P F x 1 , where P F is the metric projection from C onto .

For the class of asymptotically quasi-ϕ-nonexpansive mappings, we find from Theorem 3.1 the following.

Corollary 3.4 Let E be a uniformly convex and uniformly smooth Banach space. Let C be a nonempty closed and convex subset of E. Let T:CC be a closed and asymptotically quasi-ϕ-nonexpansive mapping with a sequence { e n }[1,) such that e n 1 as n. Let S:CC be a closed and asymptotically quasi-ϕ-nonexpansive mapping with a sequence { f n }[1,) such that f n 1 as n. Assume that T and S are asymptotically regular on C and F=F(T)F(S) is nonempty and bounded. Let { x n } be a sequence generated in the following manner:

{ x 0 E chosen arbitrarily , C 1 = C , x 1 = Π C 1 x 0 , z n = J 1 ( β n J x n + γ n J T n x n + δ n J S n x n ) , y n = J 1 ( α n J x 1 + ( 1 α n ) J z n ) , C n + 1 = { z C n : ϕ ( z , y n ) ϕ ( z , x n ) + α n ( x 1 2 + 2 z , J x n J x 1 ) + ( k n 1 ) M n } , x n + 1 = Π C n + 1 x 1 ,

where k n =max{ e n , f n }, M n =sup{ϕ(z, x n ):zF} for each n1 and { α n }, { β n }, { γ n } and { δ n } are real sequences in (0,1) such that

  1. (a)

    β n + γ n + δ n =1;

  2. (b)

    lim n α n = lim n β n =0;

  3. (c)

    lim inf n γ n δ n >0.

Then the sequence { x n } converges strongly to Π F x 1 , where Π F is the generalized projection from C onto .

If both T and S are quasi-ϕ-nonexpansive, we find from Theorem 3.1 the following.

Corollary 3.5 Let E be a uniformly convex and uniformly smooth Banach space. Let C be a nonempty closed and convex subset of E. Let T:CC be a closed quasi-ϕ-nonexpansive mapping, and S:CC be a closed quasi-ϕ-nonexpansive mapping with a nonempty common fixed point set. Let { x n } be a sequence generated in the following manner:

{ x 0 E chosen arbitrarily , C 1 = C , x 1 = Π C 1 x 0 , z n = J 1 ( β n J x n + γ n J T x n + δ n J S x n ) , y n = J 1 ( α n J x 1 + ( 1 α n ) J z n ) , C n + 1 = { z C n : ϕ ( z , y n ) ϕ ( z , x n ) + α n ( x 1 2 + 2 z , J x n J x 1 ) } , x n + 1 = Π C n + 1 x 1 ,

where { α n }, { β n }, { γ n } and { δ n } are real sequences in (0,1) such that

  1. (a)

    β n + γ n + δ n =1;

  2. (b)

    lim n α n = lim n β n =0;

  3. (c)

    lim inf n γ n δ n >0.

Then the sequence { x n } converges strongly to Π F x 1 , where Π F is the generalized projection from C onto .

Putting β n =0 and T=S, we find from Corollary 3.5 the following.

Corollary 3.6 Let E be a uniformly convex and uniformly smooth Banach space. Let C be a nonempty closed and convex subset of E. Let T:CC be a closed quasi-ϕ-nonexpansive mapping with a nonempty fixed point set. Let { x n } be a sequence generated in the following manner:

{ x 0 E chosen arbitrarily , C 1 = C , x 1 = Π C 1 x 0 , y n = J 1 ( α n J x 1 + ( 1 α n ) J T x n ) , C n + 1 = { z C n : ϕ ( z , y n ) ϕ ( z , x n ) + α n ( x 1 2 + 2 z , J x n J x 1 ) } , x n + 1 = Π C n + 1 x 1 ,

where { α n } is a real sequence in (0,1) such that lim n α n =0. Then the sequence { x n } converges strongly to Π F x 1 , where Π F ( T ) is the generalized projection from C onto F(T).

Remark 3.7 Corollary 3.6 is a Banach version of Theorem 2.1 in Section 2. The sets of Q n are also relaxed.
