Fixed point theory for nonlinear mappings in Banach spaces and applications

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 E 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 J:E 2 E is defined by J(x)={ x E :x, x = x 2 ,x= x } for all xE.

Definition 1.1 Let E be a Banach space. Then a function δ X :[0,2][0,1] is said to be the modulus of convexity of E if

δ E (ϵ)=inf { 1 x + y 2 : x 1 , y 1 , x y ϵ } .

If δ E (ϵ)>0 for all ϵ(0,2], then E is uniformly convex.

The function ρ E : R + R + is said to be the modulus of smoothness of E if

ρ E (t)=sup { x + y + x y 2 1 : x = 1 , y = t } ,t0.

If lim t 0 ρ E ( t ) t =0, 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 c>0 such that ρ E (t)c t q . If E is q-uniformly smooth, then q2 and E is uniformly smooth.

A mapping T:CC is called nonexpansive if

TxTyxy

for all x,yC.

T is called η-strictly pseudo-contractive if there exists a constant η(0,1) such that

T x T y , j ( x y ) x y 2 η ( I T ) x ( I T ) y 2
(1.1)

for every x,yC and for some j(xy)J(xy). It is clear that (1.1) is equivalent to the following:

( I T ) x ( I T ) y , j ( x y ) η ( I T ) x ( I T ) y 2
(1.2)

for every x,yC and for some j(xy)J(xy). Let C and D be nonempty subsets of a Banach space E such that C is nonempty closed convex and DC, then a mapping P:CD is sunny (see [1]) provided P(x+t(xP(x)))=P(x) for all xC and t0, whenever x+t(xP(x))C. A mapping P:CD is called a retraction if Px=x for all xD. 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 j(xy)J(xy) such that

A x A y , j ( x y ) 0,x,yC.

A mapping A:CE is said to be α-inverse strongly accretive if there exist j(xy)J(xy) and α>0 such that

A x A y , j ( x y ) α A x A y 2 ,x,yC.

A mapping A:CE is called γ-strongly accretive if there exist j(xy)J(xy) and a constant γ>0 such that

A x A y , j ( x y ) γ x y 2

for all x,yC.

In 2006, Aoyama et al. [3] studied the variational inequality problem in Banach spaces. Such a problem is to find a point x C such that for some j(x x )J(x x ),

A x , j ( x x ) 0,xC.
(1.3)

The set of solutions of (1.3) in Banach spaces is denoted by S(C,A), that is,

S(C,A)= { u C : A u , J ( v u ) 0 , v C } .
(1.4)

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 Q C be a sunny nonexpansive retraction from E onto C, let α>0, and let A be an α-inverse strongly accretive operator of C into E with S(C,A). Suppose x 1 =xC and { x n } is given by

x n + 1 = α n x n +(1 α n ) Q C ( x n λ n A x n )

for every n=1,2, , where { λ n } is a sequence of positive real numbers and { α n } is a sequence in [0,1]. If { λ n } and { α n } are chosen so that λ n [a, α K 2 ] for some a>0 and α n [b,c] for some b, c with 0<b<c<1, then { x n } converges weakly to some element z of S(C,A), where K is the 2-uniformly smoothness constant of E.

Many authors have studied the variational inequality problem; see, for example, [48]. 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 Q C 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 { S i } i = 1 N be a finite family of κ i -strict pseudo-contractions of C into itself, and let { T i } i = 1 N be a finite family of nonexpansive mappings of C into itself with F= i = 1 N F( S i ) i = 1 N F( T i )S(C,A)S(C,B) and κ=min{ κ i :i=1,2,,N} with K 2 κ, where K is the 2-uniformly smooth constant of E. Let α j =( α 1 j , α 2 j , α 3 j )I×I×I, where I=[0,1], α 1 j + α 2 j + α 3 j =1, α 1 j (0,1], α 2 j [0,1] and α 3 j (0,1) for all j=1,2,,N. Let S A be the S A -mapping generated by S 1 , S 2 ,, S N , T 1 , T 2 ,, T N and α 1 , α 2 ,, α N . Let { x n } be the sequence generated by x 1 , uC and

x n + 1 = α n u+ β n x n + γ n Q C (IaA) x n + δ n Q C (IbB) x n + η n S A x n ,n1,
(1.5)

where { α n },{ β n },{ γ n },{ δ n },{ η n }[0,1] and α n + β n + γ n + δ n + η n =1 and satisfy the following conditions:

  1. (i)

    lim n α n =0, n = 1 α n =;

  2. (ii)

    { γ n },{ δ n },{ η n }[c,d](0,1) for some c,d>0;

  3. (iii)

    n = 1 | β n + 1 β n |, n = 1 | γ n + 1 γ n |, n = 1 | δ n + 1 δ n |, n = 1 | η n + 1 η n |, n = 1 | α n + 1 α n |<;

  4. (iv)

    0< lim inf n β n lim sup n β n <1;

  5. (v)

    a(0, α K 2 ) and b(0, β K 2 ).

Then { x n } converges strongly to z 0 = Q F u, where Q F is the sunny nonexpansive retraction of C onto .

For every i=1,2,,N, let A i :CH be a mapping. From (1.3), we introduce the combination of variational inequality problems in Banach spaces as follows: to find a point x C such that for some j(x x )J(x x ),

i = 1 N a i A i x , j ( x x ) 0
(1.6)

for all xC and a i is a positive real number for all i=1,2,,N with i = 1 N a i =1. The set of solutions of (1.6) in Banach spaces is denoted by S(C, i = 1 N a i A i ), that is,

S ( C , i = 1 N a i A i ) = { u C : i = 1 N a i A i u , J ( v u ) 0 , v C } .
(1.7)

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.

2 Preliminaries

The following lemmas are important tools to prove our main results in the next section.

Lemma 2.1 (See [12])

Let E be a real 2-uniformly smooth Banach space with the best smooth constant K. Then the following inequality holds:

x + y 2 x 2 +2 y , J ( x ) +2 K y 2

for any x,yE.

Lemma 2.2 (See [13])

Let X be a uniformly convex Banach space and B r ={xX:xr}, r>0. Then there exists a continuous, strictly increasing and convex function g:[0,][0,], g(0)=0 such that

α x + β y + γ z 2 α x 2 +β y 2 +γ z 2 αβg ( x y )

for all x,y,z B r and all α,β,γ[0,1] with α+β+γ=1.

Remark 2.3 For every i=1,2,,N, if x i B r (0), from Lemma 2.2, we have i = 1 N a i x i 2 i = 1 N a i x i 2 , where a i [0,1] and i = 1 N a i =1.

Lemma 2.4 (See [3])

Let C be a nonempty closed convex subset of a smooth Banach space E. Let Q C be a sunny nonexpansive retraction from E onto C, and let A be an accretive operator of C into E. Then, for all λ>0,

S(C,A)=F ( Q C ( I λ A ) ) .

Lemma 2.5 (See [12])

Let r>0. If E is uniformly convex, then there exists a continuous, strictly increasing and convex function g:[0,)[0,), g(0)=0 such that for all x,y B r (0)={xE:xr} and for any α[0,1], we have α x + ( 1 α ) y 2 α x 2 +(1α) y 2 α(1α)g(xy).

Lemma 2.6 (See [14])

Let C be a closed and convex subset of a real uniformly smooth Banach space E, and let T:CC be a nonexpansive mapping with a nonempty fixed point F(T). If { x n }C is a bounded sequence such that lim n x n T x n =0, then there exists a unique sunny nonexpansive retraction Q F ( T ) :CF(T) such that

lim sup n u Q F ( T ) u , J ( x n Q F ( T ) u ) 0

for any given uC.

Lemma 2.7 (See [15])

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 2.8 [11]

Let C be a closed convex subset of a strictly convex Banach space E. Let T 1 , T 2 and T 3 be three nonexpansive mappings from C into itself with F( T 1 )F( T 2 )F( T 3 ). Define a mapping S by

Sx=α T 1 x+β T 2 x+γ T 3 x,xC,

where α, β, γ is a constant in (0,1) and α+β+γ=1. Then S is a nonexpansive mapping and F(S)=F( T 1 )F( T 2 )F( T 3 ).

Lemma 2.9 Let C be a nonempty closed convex subset of a real smooth Banach space E. For every i=1,2,,N, let A i :CE be an α i -strongly accretive mapping with α ¯ = min i = 1 , 2 , , N { α i } and i = 1 N S(C, A i ). Then S(C, i = 1 N a i A i )= i = 1 N S(C, A i ), where a i [0,1] and i = 1 N a i =1.

Proof It is easy to see that i = 1 N S(C, A i )S(C, i = 1 N a i A i ). Let x 0 S(C, i = 1 N a i A i ) and x i = 1 N S(C, A i ). Then there exist j(y x )J(y x ) and j(y x 0 )J(y x 0 ) such that

i = 1 N a i A i x 0 , j ( y x 0 ) 0,yC
(2.1)

and

i = 1 N a i A i x , j ( y x ) 0,yC.
(2.2)

From (2.1), (2.2) and x 0 , x C, we have

i = 1 N a i A i x 0 , j ( x x 0 ) 0
(2.3)

and

i = 1 N a i A i x , j ( x 0 x ) 0.
(2.4)

From (2.3) and (2.4), we have

0 i = 1 N a i A i x 0 i = 1 N a i A i x , j ( x x 0 ) = i = 1 N a i A i x i = 1 N a i A i x 0 , j ( x x 0 ) = i = 1 N a i A i x A i x 0 , j ( x x 0 ) i = 1 N a i α i x x 0 2 i = 1 N a i α ¯ x x 0 2 = α ¯ x x 0 2 .

It implies that x = x 0 , that is, x 0 i = 1 N S(C, A i ). Therefore S(C, i = 1 N a i A i ) i = 1 N S(C, A i ). □

3 Main results

Theorem 3.1 Let C be a nonempty closed convex subset of a uniformly convex and 2-uniformly smooth Banach space E. Let Q C be a sunny nonexpansive retraction from E onto C. For every i=1,2,,N, let A i :CE be α i -strongly accretive and L i -Lipschitz continuous with α ¯ = min i = 1 , 2 , , N α i and L ¯ = max i = 1 , 2 , , N L i . Let T:CC be a nonexpansive mapping and S:CC be an η-strictly pseudo-contractive mapping with K 2 η, where K is the 2-uniformly smooth constant of E. Assume that F=F(T)F(S) i = 1 N S(C, A i ). Let { x n } be a sequence generated by u, x 1 C and

{ z n = c n x n + ( 1 c n ) S x n , y n = b n x n + ( 1 b n ) T z n , x n + 1 = α n u + β n x n + γ n Q C ( I λ i = 1 N a i A i ) y n , n 1 ,
(3.1)

where a i [0,1] for all i=1,2,,N and { α n },{ β n },{ γ n }[0,1] with α n + β n + γ n =1 for all nN satisfy the following conditions:

  1. (i)

    lim n α n =0 and n = 1 α n =;

  2. (ii)

    0<a β n , γ n , c n , b n b<1 for some a,b>0, nN and i = 1 N a i =1;

  3. (iii)

    0λ K 2 α ¯ L ¯ 2 ;

  4. (iv)

    n = 1 | α n + 1 α n |, n = 1 | β n + 1 β n |, n = 1 | b n + 1 b n |, n = 1 | c n + 1 c n |<.

Then { x n } converges strongly to z 0 = Q F u, where Q F is the sunny nonexpansive retraction of C onto .

Proof First, we show that i = 1 N a i A i is an α ¯ L ¯ 2 -inverse strongly monotone mapping.

Let x,yC, there exists j(xy)J(xy) and

i = 1 N a i A i x i = 1 N a i A i y , j ( x y ) = i = 1 N a i A i x A i y , j ( x y ) i = 1 N a i α i x y 2 i = 1 N a i α i L i 2 A i x A i y 2 α ¯ L ¯ 2 i = 1 N a i A i x A i y 2 α ¯ L ¯ 2 i = 1 N a i A i x i = 1 N a i A i y 2 .
(3.2)

Next, we show that Q C (Iλ i = 1 N a i A i ) is a nonexpansive mapping. From (3.2), we have

Q C ( I λ i = 1 N a i A i ) x Q C ( I λ i = 1 N a i A i ) y 2 x y λ ( i = 1 N a i A i x i = 1 N a i A i y ) 2 x y 2 2 λ i = 1 N a i A i x i = 1 N a i A i y , j ( x y ) + 2 K 2 λ 2 i = 1 N a i ( A i x A i y ) 2 x y 2 2 λ α ¯ L ¯ 2 i = 1 N a i A i x i = 1 N a i A i y 2 + 2 K 2 λ 2 i = 1 N a i ( A i x A i y ) 2 = x y 2 2 λ ( α ¯ L ¯ 2 K 2 λ ) i = 1 N a i A i x i = 1 N a i A i y 2 x y 2

for all x,yC. Let x F, we have

x n + 1 x = α n ( u x ) + β n ( x n x ) + γ n ( Q C ( I λ i = 1 N a i A i ) y n x ) α n u x + β n x n x + γ n y n x = α n u x + β n x n x + γ n b n ( x n p ) + ( 1 b n ) ( T z n x ) α n u x + β n x n x + γ n ( b n x n p + ( 1 b n ) z n x ) = α n u x + β n x n x + γ n ( b n x n p + ( 1 b n ) c n ( x n x ) + ( 1 c n ) ( S x n x ) ) .
(3.3)

Since S is a strictly pseudo-contractive mapping, we have

c n ( x n x ) + ( 1 c n ) ( S x n x ) 2 = x n x + ( 1 c n ) ( S x n x n ) 2 x n x 2 + 2 ( 1 c n ) S x n x n , j ( x n x ) + 2 K 2 ( 1 c n ) 2 S x n x n 2 = x n x 2 2 ( 1 c n ) ( I S ) x n , j ( x n x ) + 2 K 2 ( 1 c n ) 2 ( I S ) x n 2 x n x 2 2 ( 1 c n ) η ( I S ) x n 2 + 2 K 2 ( 1 c n ) 2 ( I S ) x n 2 x n x 2 2 ( 1 c n ) 2 η ( I S ) x n 2 + 2 K 2 ( 1 c n ) 2 ( I S ) x n 2 x n x 2 2 ( 1 c n ) 2 ( η K 2 ) ( I S ) x n 2 x n x 2 .
(3.4)

From (3.3) and (3.4), we have

x n + 1 x α n u x + β n x n x + γ n ( b n x n p + ( 1 b n ) c n ( x n x ) + ( 1 c n ) ( S x n x ) ) α n u x + ( 1 α n ) x n x max { u x , x 1 x } .

From induction we can conclude that { x n } is bounded and so are { y n }, { z n }.

Next, we show that lim n x n + 1 x n =0.

For every nN, we have

x n + 1 x n = α n u + β n x n + γ n Q C ( I λ i = 1 N a i A i ) y n α n 1 u β n 1 x n 1 γ n 1 Q C ( I λ i = 1 N a i A i ) y n 1 | α n α n 1 | u + β n x n x n 1 + | β n β n 1 | x n 1 + γ n Q C ( I λ i = 1 N a i A i ) y n Q C ( I λ i = 1 N a i A i ) y n 1 + | γ n γ n 1 | Q C ( I λ i = 1 N a i A i ) y n 1 | α n α n 1 | u + β n x n x n 1 + | β n β n 1 | x n 1 + γ n y n y n 1 + | γ n γ n 1 | Q C ( I λ i = 1 N a i A i ) y n 1 .
(3.5)

From the definition of y n , we have

y n y n 1 = b n x n + ( 1 b n ) T z n b n 1 x n 1 ( 1 b n 1 ) T z n 1 b n x n x n 1 + | b n b n 1 | x n 1 + ( 1 b n ) T z n T z n 1 + | b n b n 1 | T z n 1 b n x n x n 1 + | b n b n 1 | x n 1 + ( 1 b n ) z n z n 1 + | b n b n 1 | T z n 1 .
(3.6)

From the definition of z n , we have

z n z n 1 = c n x n + ( 1 c n ) S x n c n 1 x n 1 ( 1 c n 1 ) S x n 1 = c n ( x n x n 1 ) + ( c n c n 1 ) x n 1 + ( 1 c n ) ( S x n S x n 1 ) + ( c n 1 c n ) S x n 1 c n ( x n x n 1 ) + ( 1 c n ) ( S x n S x n 1 ) + | c n c n 1 | x n 1 + | c n c n 1 | S x n 1 .
(3.7)

Since S is an η-strictly pseudo-contractive mapping, we have

c n ( x n x n 1 ) + ( 1 c n ) ( S x n S x n 1 ) 2 = x n x n 1 ( 1 c n ) ( ( I S ) x n ( I S ) x n 1 ) 2 x n x n 1 2 2 ( 1 c n ) ( I S ) x n ( I S ) x n 1 , j ( x n x n 1 ) + 2 K 2 ( 1 c n ) 2 ( I S ) x n ( I S ) x n 1 2 x n x n 1 2 2 ( 1 c n ) η ( I S ) x n ( I S ) x n 1 2 + 2 K 2 ( 1 c n ) 2 ( I S ) x n ( I S ) x n 1 2 x n x n 1 2 2 ( 1 c n ) 2 ( η K 2 ) ( I S ) x n ( I S ) x n 1 2 x n x n 1 2 .
(3.8)

From (3.6), (3.7) and (3.8), we have

y n y n 1 b n x n x n 1 + | b n b n 1 | x n 1 + ( 1 b n ) z n z n 1 + | b n b n 1 | T z n 1 b n x n x n 1 + | b n b n 1 | x n 1 + ( 1 b n ) ( c n ( x n x n 1 ) + ( 1 c n ) ( S x n S x n 1 ) + | c n c n 1 | x n 1 + | c n c n 1 | S x n 1 ) + | b n b n 1 | T z n 1 b n x n x n 1 + | b n b n 1 | x n 1 + ( 1 b n ) ( x n x n 1 + | c n c n 1 | x n 1 + | c n c n 1 | S x n 1 ) + | b n b n 1 | T z n 1 x n x n 1 + | b n b n 1 | x n 1 + | c n c n 1 | x n 1 + | c n c n 1 | S x n 1 + | b n b n 1 | T z n 1 .
(3.9)

From (3.9) and (3.5), we have

x n + 1 x n | α n α n 1 | u + β n x n x n 1 + | β n β n 1 | x n 1 + γ n y n y n 1 + | γ n γ n 1 | Q C ( I λ i = 1 N a i A i ) y n 1 ( 1 α n ) x n x n 1 + | β n β n 1 | x n 1 + | α n α n 1 | u + | γ n γ n 1 | Q C ( I λ i = 1 N a i A i ) y n 1 + | b n b n 1 | x n 1 + | c n c n 1 | x n 1 + | c n c n 1 | S x n 1 + | b n b n 1 | T z n 1 ( 1 α n ) x n x n 1 + | β n β n 1 | M + | α n α n 1 | M + | γ n γ n 1 | M + 2 | b n b n 1 | M + 2 | c n c n 1 | M ,

where M= max n N { x n ,u, Q C (Iλ i = 1 N a i A i ) y n ,S x n ,T z n }. Applying Lemma 2.7, conditions (i) and (iv), we have

lim n x n + 1 x n =0.
(3.10)

Next, we show that

lim n Q C ( I λ i = 1 N a i A i ) x n x n = lim n x n T x n = lim n x n S x n =0.

From the definition of x n , we have

x n + 1 x 2 = α n ( u x ) + β n ( x n x ) + γ n ( Q C ( I λ i = 1 N a i A i ) y n x ) 2 α n u x 2 + β n x n x 2 + γ n Q C ( I λ i = 1 N a i A i ) y n x 2 β n γ n g 1 ( Q C ( I λ i = 1 N a i A i ) y n x n ) α n u x 2 + β n x n x 2 + γ n y n x 2 β n γ n g 1 ( Q C ( I λ i = 1 N a i A i ) y n x n ) = α n u x 2 + β n x n x 2 + γ n b n ( x n x ) + ( 1 b n ) ( T z n x ) 2 β n γ n g 1 ( Q C ( I λ i = 1 N a i A i ) y n x n ) α n u x 2 + β n x n x 2 + γ n ( b n x n x 2 + ( 1 b n ) z n x 2 b n ( 1 b n ) g 2 ( x n T z n ) ) β n γ n g 1 ( Q C ( I λ i = 1 N a i A i ) y n x n ) α n u x 2 + β n x n x 2 + γ n ( b n x n x 2 + ( 1 b n ) ( x n x 2 2 ( 1 c n ) 2 ( η K 2 ) S x n x n 2 ) b n ( 1 b n ) g 2 ( x n T z n ) ) β n γ n g 1 ( Q C ( I λ i = 1 N a i A i ) y n x n ) α n u x 2 + β n x n x 2 + γ n x n x 2 2 γ n ( 1 b n ) ( 1 c n ) 2 ( η K 2 ) S x n x n 2 γ n b n ( 1 b n ) g 2 ( x n T z n ) β n γ n g 1 ( Q C ( I λ i = 1 N a i A i ) y n x n ) α n u x 2 + x n x 2 2 γ n ( 1 b n ) ( 1 c n ) 2 ( η K 2 ) S x n x n 2 γ n b n ( 1 b n ) g 2 ( x n T z n ) β n γ n g 1 ( Q C ( I λ i = 1 N a i A i ) y n x n ) .

It implies that

2 γ n ( 1 b n ) ( 1 c n ) 2 ( η K 2 ) S x n x n 2 + γ n b n ( 1 b n ) g 2 ( x n T z n ) + β n γ n g 1 ( Q C ( I λ i = 1 N a i A i ) y n x n ) 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 .

From (3.10), conditions (i) and (ii), we have

lim n S x n x n = lim n g 1 ( Q C ( I λ i = 1 N a i A i ) y n x n ) = lim n g 2 ( x n T z n ) = 0 .
(3.11)

From the properties of g 1 and g 2 , we have

lim n Q C ( I λ i = 1 N a i A i ) y n x n = lim n x n T z n =0.
(3.12)

From (3.11) and the definition of z n , we have

lim n z n x n =0.
(3.13)

From (3.12) and the definition of y n , we have

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

From (3.13) and (3.14), we have

lim n y n z n =0.
(3.15)

From (3.12) and (3.14), we have

lim n Q C ( I λ i = 1 N a i A i ) y n y n =0.
(3.16)

Then

Q C ( I λ i = 1 N a i A i ) x n x n Q C ( I λ i = 1 N a i A i ) x n Q C ( I λ i = 1 N a i A i ) y n + Q C ( I λ i = 1 N a i A i ) y n x n x n y n + Q C ( I λ i = 1 N a i A i ) y n x n .

From (3.12) and (3.14), we have

lim n Q C ( I λ i = 1 N a i A i ) x n x n =0.
(3.17)

Since

T x n x n T x n T z n + T z n x n x n z n + T z n x n ,

from (3.12) and (3.13), we have

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

Define the mapping G:CC by Gx=α Q C (Iλ i = 1 N a i A i )x+βTx+γWx, where Wx=cx+(1c)Sx for all xC and α,β,γ,c[0,1] with α+β+γ=1. We show that W is a nonexpansive mapping. Let x,yC, we have

W x W y 2 = c ( x y ) + ( 1 c ) ( S x S y ) 2 = x y ( 1 c ) ( ( I S ) x ( I S ) y ) 2 x y 2 2 ( 1 c ) ( I S ) x ( I S ) y , j ( x y ) + 2 K 2 ( 1 c ) 2 ( I S ) x ( I S ) y 2 x y 2 2 ( 1 c ) η ( I S ) x ( I S ) y 2 + 2 K 2 ( 1 c ) 2 ( I S ) x ( I S ) y 2 x y 2 2 ( 1 c ) 2 ( η K 2 ) ( I S ) x ( I S ) y 2 x y 2 .

Then W is a nonexpansive mapping. It is easy to see that the mapping G is nonexpansive. From the definition of W, we have

F(S)=F(W).
(3.19)

From (3.19) Lemmas 2.8, 2.9 and the definition of G, we have F(G)=F(T)F(S) i = 1 N S(C, A i )=F. Since

G x n x n α Q C ( I λ i = 1 N a i A i ) x n x n + β T x n x n + γ W x n x n = α Q C ( I λ i = 1 N a i A i ) x n x n + β T x n x n + γ ( 1 c ) S x n x n ,

and (3.11), (3.17) and (3.18), we have

lim n G x n x n =0.
(3.20)

From Lemma 2.6, we have

lim sup n u z 0 , j ( x n z 0 ) 0,
(3.21)

where z 0 = Q F u.

Finally, we show that the sequence { x n } converges strongly to z 0 = Q F u. From the definition of x n , we have

x n + 1 z 0 2 = α n ( u z 0 ) + β n ( x n z 0 ) + γ n ( Q C ( I λ i = 1 N a i A i ) y n z 0 ) 2 β n ( x n z 0 ) + γ n ( Q C ( I λ i = 1 N a i A i ) y n z 0 ) 2 + 2 α n u z 0 , j ( x n + 1 z 0 ) ( 1 α n ) x n z 0 2 + 2 α n u z 0 , j ( x n + 1 z 0 ) .

From Lemma 2.7 and condition (i), we can conclude that the sequence { x n } converges strongly to z 0 = Q F u. This completes the proof. □

The following corollary is a direct sequel of Theorem 3.1. Therefore, we omit the proof.

Corollary 3.2 Let C be a nonempty closed convex subset of a uniformly convex and 2-uniformly smooth Banach space E. Let Q C be a sunny nonexpansive retraction from E onto C. Let A:CE be α-strongly accretive and L-Lipschitz continuous. Let T:CC be a nonexpansive mapping and S:CC be an η-strictly pseudo-contractive mapping with K 2 η, where K is the 2-uniformly smooth constant of E. Assume that F=F(T)F(S)S(C,A). Let { x n } be the sequence generated by u, x 1 C and

{ z n = c n x n + ( 1 c n ) S x n , y n = b n x n + ( 1 b n ) T z n , x n + 1 = α n u + β n x n + γ n Q C ( I λ A ) y n , n 1 ,

where { α n },{ β n },{ γ n }[0,1] with α n + β n + γ n =1 for all nN satisfy the following conditions:

  1. (i)

    lim n α n =0 and n = 1 α n =;

  2. (ii)

    0<a β n , γ n , c n , b n b<1, for some a,b>0, nN;

  3. (iii)

    0λ K 2 α L 2 ;

  4. (iv)

    n = 1 | α n + 1 α n |, n = 1 | β n + 1 β n |, n = 1 | b n + 1 b n |, n = 1 | c n + 1 c n |<.

Then { x n } converges strongly to z 0 = Q F u, where Q F is the sunny nonexpansive retraction of C onto .

4 Applications

Using the concepts of the S A -mapping and Theorem 3.1, we prove the strong convergence theorem for the set of fixed points of two finite families of nonlinear mappings. We need the following definition and lemma to prove our result.

Definition 4.1 [11]

Let C be a nonempty convex subset of a real Banach space. Let { S i } i = 1 N and { T i } i = 1 N be two finite families of the 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 A :CC as follows:

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

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

Lemma 4.1 [11]

Let C be a nonempty closed convex subset of a 2-uniformly smooth and uniformly convex Banach space. Let { S i } i = 1 N be a finite family of κ i -strict pseudo-contractions of C into itself, and let { T i } i = 1 N be a finite family of nonexpansive mappings of C into itself with i = 1 N F( S i ) i = 1 N F( T i ) and κ=min{ κ i :i=1,2,,N} with K 2 κ, where K is the 2-uniformly smooth constant of E. Let α j =( α 1 j , α 2 j , α 3 j )I×I×I, where I=[0,1], α 1 j + α 2 j + α 3 j =1, α 1 j (0,1], α 2 j [0,1] and α 3 j (0,1) for all j=1,2,,N. Let S A be the S A -mapping generated by S 1 , S 2 ,, S N , T 1 , T 2 ,, T N and α 1 , α 2 ,, α N . Then F( S A )= i = 1 N F( S i ) i = 1 N F( T i ) and S A is a nonexpansive mapping.

Theorem 4.2 Let C be a nonempty closed convex subset of a uniformly convex and 2-uniformly smooth Banach space E. Let Q C be a sunny nonexpansive retraction from E onto C. For every i=1,2,,N, let A i :CE be α i -strongly accretive and L i -Lipschitz continuous with α ¯ = min i = 1 , 2 , , N α i and L ¯ = max i = 1 , 2 , , N L i . Let S:CC be an η-strictly pseudo-contractive mapping with K 2 η, where K is the 2-uniformly smooth constant of E. Let { S i } i = 1 N be a finite family of κ i -strict pseudo-contractions of C into itself, and let { T i } i = 1 N be a finite family of nonexpansive mappings of C into itself with κ=min{ κ i :i=1,2,,N} with K 2 κ. Let α j =( α 1 j , α 2 j , α 3 j )I×I×I, where I=[0,1], α 1 j + α 2 j + α 3 j =1, α 1 j (0,1], α 2 j [0,1] and α 3 j (0,1) for all j=1,2,,N. Let S A be the S A -mapping generated by S 1 , S 2 ,, S N , T 1 , T 2 ,, T N and α 1 , α 2 ,, α N . Assume that F=F(S) i = 1 N S(C, A i ) i = 1 N F( S i ) i = 1 N F( T i ). Let { x n } be the sequence generated by u, x 1 C and

{ z n = c n x n + ( 1 c n ) S x n , y n = b n x n + ( 1 b n ) S A z n , x n + 1 = α n u + β n x n + γ n Q C ( I λ i = 1 N a i A i ) y n , n 1 ,
(4.1)

where a i [0,1] for all i=1,2,,N and { α n },{ β n },{ γ n }[0,1] with α n + β n + γ n =1 for all nN and satisfy the following conditions:

  1. (i)

    lim n α n =0 and n = 1 α n =;

  2. (ii)

    0<a β n , γ n , c n , b n b<1 for some a,b>0, nN and i = 1 N a i =1;

  3. (iii)

    0λ K 2 α ¯ L ¯ 2 ;

  4. (iv)

    n = 1 | α n + 1 α n |, n = 1 | β n + 1 β n |, n = 1 | b n + 1 b n |, n = 1 | c n + 1 c n |<.

Then { x n } converges strongly to z 0 = Q F u, where Q F is the sunny nonexpansive retraction of C onto .

Proof From Lemma 4.1 and Theorem 3.1, we can reach the desired conclusion. □
