Fixed Point Theory and Applications volume 2014, Article number: 108 (2014)
Abstract
The purpose of this research is to study a finite family of the set of solutions of variational inequality problems and to prove a convergence theorem for the set of such problems and the sets of fixed points of nonexpansive and strictly pseudo-contractive mappings in a uniformly convex and 2-uniformly smooth Banach space. We also prove a fixed point theorem for finite families of nonexpansive and strictly pseudo-contractive mappings in the last section.
1 Introduction
Let E and be a Banach space and the dual space of E, respectively, and let C be a nonempty closed convex subset of E. Throughout this paper, we use ‘→’ and ‘⇀’ to denote strong and weak convergence, respectively. The duality mapping is defined by for all .
Definition 1.1 Let E be a Banach space. Then a function is said to be the modulus of convexity of E if
If for all , then E is uniformly convex.
The function is said to be the modulus of smoothness of E if
If , then E is uniformly smooth. It is well known that every uniformly smooth Banach space is smooth and if E is smooth, then J is single-valued which is denoted by j. A Banach space E is said to be q-uniformly smooth if there exists a fixed constant such that . If E is q-uniformly smooth, then and E is uniformly smooth.
A mapping is called nonexpansive if
for all .
T is called η-strictly pseudo-contractive if there exists a constant such that
for every and for some . It is clear that (1.1) is equivalent to the following:
for every and for some . Let C and D be nonempty subsets of a Banach space E such that C is nonempty closed convex and , then a mapping is sunny (see [1]) provided for all and , whenever . A mapping is called a retraction if for all . Furthermore, P is a sunny nonexpansive retraction from C onto D if P is a retraction from C onto D which is also sunny and nonexpansive.
A subset D of C is called a sunny nonexpansive retract of C (see [2]) if there exists a sunny nonexpansive retraction from C onto D.
An operator A of C into E is said to be if there exists such that
A mapping is said to be α-inverse strongly accretive if there exist and such that
A mapping is called γ-strongly accretive if there exist and a constant such that
for all .
In 2006, Aoyama et al. [3] studied the variational inequality problem in Banach spaces. Such a problem is to find a point such that for some ,
The set of solutions of (1.3) in Banach spaces is denoted by , that is,
They introduced the strong convergence theorem involving the variational inequality problem in Banach spaces as follows.
Theorem 1.1 Let E be a uniformly convex and 2-uniformly smooth Banach space, and let C be a nonempty closed convex subset of E. Let be a sunny nonexpansive retraction from E onto C, let , and let A be an α-inverse strongly accretive operator of C into E with . Suppose and is given by
for every , where is a sequence of positive real numbers and is a sequence in . If and are chosen so that for some and for some b, c with , then converges weakly to some element z of , where K is the 2-uniformly smoothness constant of E.
Many authors have studied the variational inequality problem; see, for example, [4–8]. The variational inequality problem is an important tool for studying fixed point theory, equilibrium problems, optimization problems and partial differential equations with applications principally drawn from mechanics; see, e.g., [9, 10].
Recently, Kangtunyakarn [11] introduced a new mapping in uniformly convex and 2-smooth Banach spaces to prove a strong convergence theorem for finding a common element of the set of fixed points of finite families of nonexpansive and strictly pseudo-contractive mappings and two sets of solutions of variational inequality problems as follows.
Theorem 1.2 Let C be a nonempty closed convex subset of a uniformly convex and 2-uniformly smooth Banach space E. Let be a sunny nonexpansive retraction from E onto C, and let A, B be α and β-inverse strongly accretive mappings of C into E, respectively. Let be a finite family of -strict pseudo-contractions of C into itself, and let be a finite family of nonexpansive mappings of C into itself with and with , where K is the 2-uniformly smooth constant of E. Let , where , , , and for all . Let be the -mapping generated by , and . Let be the sequence generated by , and

(ii)
for some ;
-
(iii)
;
-
(iv)
;
-
(v)
and .
Then converges strongly to , where is the sunny nonexpansive retraction of C onto ℱ.
For every , let be a mapping. From (1.3), we introduce the combination of variational inequality problems in Banach spaces as follows: to find a point such that for some ,
for all and is a positive real number for all with . The set of solutions of (1.6) in Banach spaces is denoted by , that is,
By using (1.6) we prove the convergence theorem for a finite family of the set of solutions of variational inequality problems and two sets of fixed points of nonlinear mappings in a Banach space.
