Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to introduce a new hybrid projection method for finding a common element of the set of common fixed points of two relatively quasi-nonexpansive mappings, the set of the variational inequality for an α-inverse-strongly monotone, and the set of solutions of the generalized equilibrium problem in the framework of a real Banach space. We obtain a strong convergence theorem for the sequences generated by this process in a 2-uniformly convex and uniformly smooth Banach space. Base on this result, we also get some new and interesting results. The results in this paper generalize, extend, and unify some well-known strong convergence results in the literature.

1. Introduction

Let be a real Banach space, the dual space of . A Banach space is said to be strictly convex if for all with and . Let be the unit sphere of . Then a Banach space is said to be smooth if the limit

(1.1) exists for each It is also said to be uniformly smooth if the limit is attained uniformly for . Let be a Banach space. The modulus of convexity of is the function defined by

(1.2)

A Banach space is uniformly convex if and only if for all . Let be a fixed real number with . A Banach space is said to be -uniformly convex if there exists a constant such that for all ; see [1, 2] for more details. Observe that every -uniform convex is uniformly convex. One should note that no Banach space is -uniform convex for . It is well known that a Hilbert space is 2-uniformly convex, uniformly smooth. For each , the generalized duality mapping is defined by

(1.3) for all . In particular, is called the normalized duality mapping. If is a Hilbert space, then , where is the identity mapping. It is also known that if is uniformly smooth, then is uniformly norm-to-norm continuous on each bounded subset of .

Let be a real Banach space with norm and denotes the dual space of . Consider the functional defined by

(1.4)

Observe that, in a Hilbert space , (1.4) reduces to The generalized projection is a map that assigns to an arbitrary point the minimum point of the functional that is, where is the solution to the minimization problem (1.5) existence and uniqueness of the mapping follow from the properties of the functional and strict monotonicity of the mapping (see, e.g., [37]). In Hilbert spaces, It is obvious from the definition of function that

(1.6)

Remark 1.1. If is a reflexive, strictly convex, and smooth Banach space, then for if and only if . It is sufficient to show that if then . From (2.13), we have . This implies that From the definition of one has . Therefore, we have see [5, 7] for more details.

Next, we give some examples which are closed relatively quasi-nonexpansive (see [8]).

Example 1.2. Let be the generalized projection from a smooth, strictly convex and reflexive Banach space onto a nonempty closed and convex subset of . Then, is a closed relatively quasi-nonexpansive mapping from onto with .

Let be a real Banach space and let be a nonempty closed and convex subset of and be a mapping. The classical variational inequality problem for a mapping A is to find such that (1.7) The set of solutions of (1.4) is denoted by . Recall that A is called

(i) monotone if (1.8) (ii) an -inverse-strongly monotone if there exists a constant such that (1.9)

Such a problem is connected with the convex minimization problem, the complementary problem, and the problem of finding a point satisfying .

Let be a bifunction from to , where denotes the set of real numbers. The equilibrium problem (for short, EP) is to find such that

(1.10)

The set of solutions of (1.10) is denoted by . Given a mapping let for all Then if and only if for all that is, is a solution of the variational inequality. Numerous problems in physics, optimization, and economics reduce to find a solution of (1.10). Some methods have been proposed to solve the equilibrium problem; see, for instance, [911].

Let be a closed convex subset of ; a mapping is said to be nonexpansive if

(1.11)

A point is a fixed point  of provided that . Denote by the set of fixed points of ; that is, . Recall that a point in is said to be an asymptotic fixed point of [12] if contains a sequence which converges weakly to such that . The set of asymptotic fixed points of will be denoted by . A mapping from into itself is said to be relatively nonexpansive [1315] if and for all and . The asymptotic behavior of a relatively nonexpansive mapping was studied in [1618]. is said to be -nonexpansive, if for is said to be relatively quasi-nonexpansive if and for and . A mapping in a Banach space is closed if and then .

Remark 1.3. The class of relatively quasi-nonexpansive mappings is more general than the class of relatively nonexpansive mappings [1619] which requires the strong restriction .

In Hilbert spaces , Iiduka et al. [20] proved that the sequence defined by: and

(1.12) where is the metric projection of onto , and is a sequence of positive real numbers, and converges weakly to some element of .

It is well know that if is a nonempty closed and convex subset of a Hilbert space and is the metric projection of onto , then is nonexpansive. This fact actually characterizes Hilbert spaces and consequently, it is not available in more general Banach spaces. In this connection, Alber [4] recently introduced a generalized projection mapping in a Banach space which is an analogue of the metric projection in Hilbert spaces.

In 2008, Iiduka and Takahashi [21] introduced the following iterative scheme for finding a solution of the variational inequality problem for inverse-strongly monotone in a -uniformly convex and uniformly smooth Banach space and

(1.13) for every where is the generalized metric projection from onto is the duality mapping from into , and is a sequence of positive real numbers. They proved that the sequence generated by (1.13) converges weakly to some element of .

Matsushita and Takahashi [22] introduced the following iteration: a sequence defined by

(1.14) where the initial guess element is arbitrary, is a real sequence in is a relatively nonexpansive mapping, and denotes the generalized projection from onto a closed convex subset of . They proved that the sequence converges weakly to a fixed point of .

In 2005, Matsushita and Takahashi [19] proposed the following hybrid iteration method (it is also called the CQ method) with generalized projection for relatively nonexpansive mapping in a Banach space :

(1.15)

They proved that converges strongly to , where is the generalized projection from onto .

Recently, Takahashi and Zembayashi [23] proposed the following modification of iteration (1.15) for a relatively nonexpansive mapping:

(1.16) where is the duality mapping on . Then, converges strongly to where is the generalized projection of onto Also, Takahashi and Zembayashi [24] proved the following iteration for a relatively nonexpansive mapping:

(1.17) where is the duality mapping on . Then, converges strongly to where is the generalized projection of onto Qin and Su [25] proved the following iteration for relatively nonexpansive mappings in a Banach space :

(1.18) the sequence generated by (1.18) converges strongly to

In 2009, Wei et al. [26] proved the following iteration for two relatively nonexpansive mappings in a Banach space :

(1.19) if and are sequences in such that and for some then generated by (1.19) converges strongly to a point where the mapping of onto is the generalized projection. Very recently, Cholamjiak [27] proved the following iteration:

(1.20) where is the duality mapping on . Assume that , and are sequences in . Then converges strongly to , where

Motivated and inspired by Iiduka and Takahashi [21], Takahashi and Zembayashi [23, 24], Wei et al. [26], Cholamjiak [27], and Kumam and Wattanawitoon [28], we introduce a new hybrid projection iterative scheme which is difference from the algorithm (1.20) of Cholamjiak in [27, Theorem  3.1] for two relatively quasi-nonexpansive mappings in a Banach space. For an initial point with and , define a sequence as follows:

(1.21) where is the duality mapping on . Then, we prove that under certain appropriate conditions on the parameters, the sequences and generated by (1.21) converge strongly to

The results presented in this paper improve and extend the corresponding results announced by Iiduka and Takahashi [21], Wei et al. [26], Kumam and Wattanawitoon [28], and many other authors in the literature.

3. Main Results

In this section, we establish a new hybrid iterative scheme for finding a common element of the set of solutions of an equilibrium problems, the common fixed point set of two relatively quasi-nonexpansive mappings, and the solution set of variational inequalities for -inverse strongly monotone in a 2-uniformly convex and uniformly smooth Banach space.

Theorem 3.1. Let be a nonempty closed and convex subset of a 2-uniformly convex and uniformly smooth Banach space . Let be a bifunction from to satisfying (A1)–(A4) and let be an -inverse-strongly monotone mapping of into satisfying and Let be closed relatively quasi-nonexpansive mappings such that For an initial point with and , we define the sequence as follows: (3.1) where is the duality mapping on and are sequences in such that and , for some and for some with , where is the 2-uniformly convexity constant of . Then converges strongly to , where .

Proof. We have several steps to prove this theorem as follows:Step 1. We show that is closed and convex.

Clearly is closed and convex. Suppose that is closed and convex for each . Since for any , we know that

(3.2) is equivalent to (3.3) So, is closed and convex. Then, by induction, is closed and convex for all .
Step 2. We show that is well defined.

Put for all . On the other hand, from Lemma 2.8 one has is relatively quasi-nonexpansive mappings and Supposing for by the convexity of for each , we have

(3.4) and so (3.5) For all , we know from Lemma 2.10, that (3.6) Since and from being an -inverse-strongly monotone, we get (3.7) From Lemma 2.1 and being an -inverse-strongly monotone, we obtain (3.8) Substituting (3.7) and (3.8) into (3.6), we have (3.9) Replacing (3.9) into (3.5), we get (3.10) Substituting (3.10) into (3.4), we also have (3.11)

This shows that and hence, . Hence, for all . This implies that the sequence is well defined.
Step 3. We show that exists and is bounded.

From and we have

(3.12) and from Lemma 2.5, we have (3.13) From (3.12) and (3.13), then are nondecreasing and bounded. So, we obtain that exists. In particular, by (1.6), the sequence is bounded. This implies that is also bounded.
Step 4. We show that is a Cauchy sequence in .

Since , for , by Lemma 2.5, we have

(3.14)

 Taking , we have We have . From Lemma 2.3, we get . Thus is a Cauchy sequence.
Step 5. We cliam that , as .

By the completeness of , the closedness of and is a Cauchy sequence (from Step 4); we can assume that there exists such that as .

By definition of , we have

(3.15) Since exists, we get (3.16) It follow form Lemma 2.3, that (3.17) Since and from the definition of , we have (3.18) and so (3.19) Hence (3.20) By using the triangle inequality, we obtain (3.21) By (3.17), (3.20), we get (3.22) Since is uniformly norm-to-norm continuous on bounded subsets of , we have (3.23)
Step 6. Show that .

Applying (3.4) and (3.11), we get From Lemma 2.9 and , we observe that

(3.24) From (3.22), (3.23) and Lemma 2.3, we get (3.25) Since is uniformly norm-to-norm continuous, we obtain (3.26) From , we have as and (3.27) By (A2), that (3.28) and , we get for all . For , define . Then which implies that From (A1), we obtain that (3.29) Thus From (A3), we have for all . Hence .
Step 7. We show that .

From definition of , we have

(3.30) Since , we have (3.31) It follows from (3.16) that (3.32) again from Lemma 2.3, we get (3.33) By using the triangle inequality, we get (3.34) Again by (3.17) and (3.33), we also have (3.35) Since is uniformly norm-to-norm continuous, we obtain (3.36) Since (3.37) from (3.22), (3.25), and (3.35), we have (3.38) Since is uniformly norm-to-norm continuous, we also have (3.39) From (3.1), we get (3.40) it follows that (3.41) and hence (3.42) Since for some , (3.36), and (3.39), one has Since is uniformly norm-to-norm continuous, we get (3.43) Since (3.44) from (3.35) and (3.43), we obtain (3.45) Since is closed and , we have .

On the other hand, we note that

(3.46) It follows from and , that (3.47) Furthermore, from (3.4) and (3.5), (3.48) and hence (3.49) From (3.47) and (3.49), we have (3.50) From Lemma 2.5, Lemma 2.10, and (3.8), we compute (3.51)

Applying Lemmas 2.3 and (3.50), we obtain that

(3.52)

Again since is uniformly norm-to-norm continuous on bounded set, we have

(3.53)

Since

(3.54)

by (3.35) and (3.52), we have

(3.55) and hence (3.56)From (3.1) we obtain that(3.57) and hence (3.58) so (3.59)By (3.53), (3.56) andcondition for some we obtain (3.60) Since is uniformly norm-to-norm continuous on bounded set, we obtain (3.61) Since , then Thus by the closedness of and we get . Hence .
Step 8. We show that .

Define by Theorem 2.11; is maximal monotone and . Let . Since , we get .

From , we have

(3.62) On the other hand, since , then by Lemma 2.4, we have (3.63) and hence (3.64) It follows from (3.62) and (3.64), that (3.65) Where . Taking the limit as and (3.53), we obtain . By the maximality of , we have ; that is, .
Step 9. We show that .

From , we have Since , we also have

(3.66) By taking limit , we obtain that (3.67) By Lemma 2.4, we can conclude that and as . This completes the proof.

Setting in Theorem 3.1., so, we obtain the following corollary.

Corollary 3.2. Let be a nonempty closed and convex subset of a 2-uniformly convex and uniformly smooth Banach space . Let be a bifunction from to satisfying (A1)–(A4) and let be an -inverse-strongly monotone mapping of into satisfying and . Let be closed relatively quasi-nonexpansive mappings such that . For an initial point with and , define a sequence as follows: (3.68) where is the duality mapping on . Assume that and are sequences in such that and , for some , and for some with , where is the 2-uniformly convexity constant of . Then converges strongly to , where .

If in Theorem 3.1, then we obtain the following corollary.

Corollary 3.3. Let be a nonempty closed and convex subset of a 2-uniformly convex and uniformly smooth Banach space . Let be a bifunction from to satisfying (A1)–(A4). Let is closed relatively quasi-nonexpansive mappings such that . For an initial point with and , define a sequence as follows: (3.69) where is the duality mapping on . Assume that and are sequences in such that and , for some and . Then converges strongly to , where .

We know that is a relatively nonexpansive (closed relatively quasi-nonexpansive for example; see [8]), and for all (see [7, 3335] for more details).

Then converges strongly to , where .

Proof. Since is a closed relatively nonexpansive mapping and . So, we obtain the result.
