Abstract

We introduce Mann-type viscosity approximation methods for finding solutions of a multivalued variational inclusion (MVVI) which are also common ones of finitely many variational inequality problems and common fixed points of a countable family of nonexpansive mappings in real smooth Banach spaces. Here the Mann-type viscosity approximation methods are based on the Mann iteration method and viscosity approximation method. We consider and analyze Mann-type viscosity iterative algorithms not only in the setting of uniformly convex and 2-uniformly smooth Banach space but also in a uniformly convex Banach space having a uniformly Gáteaux differentiable norm. Under suitable assumptions, we derive some strong convergence theorems. In addition, we also give some applications of these theorems; for instance, we prove strong convergence theorems for finding a common fixed point of a finite family of strictly pseudocontractive mappings and a countable family of nonexpansive mappings in uniformly convex and 2-uniformly smooth Banach spaces. The results presented in this paper improve, extend, supplement, and develop the corresponding results announced in the earlier and very recent literature.

1. Introduction

Let be a real Banach space whose dual space is denoted by . The normalized duality mapping is defined by where denotes the generalized duality pairing. It is an immediate consequence of the Hahn-Banach theorem that is nonempty for each . Let denote the unite sphere of . A Banach space is said to be uniformly convex if, for each , there exists such that, for all ,

It is known that a uniformly convex Banach space is reflexive and strict convex. A Banach space is said to be smooth if the limit exists for all ; in this case, is also said to have a Gáteaux differentiable norm. is said to have a uniformly Gáteaux differentiable norm if, for each , the limit is attained uniformly for . Moreover, it is said to be uniformly smooth if this limit is attained uniformly for . The norm of is said to be the Fréchet differential if, for each , this limit is attained uniformly for . In addition, we define a function called the modulus of smoothness of as follows:

It is known that is uniformly smooth if and only if . Let be a fixed real number with . Then a Banach space is said to be -uniformly smooth if there exists a constant such that for all . It is well-known that no Banach space is -uniformly smooth for . In addition, it is also known that is single-valued if and only if is smooth, whereas if is uniformly smooth, then the mapping is norm-to-norm uniformly continuous on bounded subsets of . If has a uniformly Gáteaux differentiable norm then the duality mapping is norm-to-weak* uniformly continuous on bounded subsets of .

Let be a nonempty closed convex subset of a real Banach space . A mapping is called nonexpansive if

The set of fixed points of is denoted by . We use the notation to indicate the weak convergence and the one to indicate the strong convergence.

Definition 1. Let be a mapping of into . Then is said to be(i)accretive if for each there exists such that where is the normalized duality mapping;(ii)-strongly accretive if for each there exists such that for some ;(iii)-inverse strongly accretive if for each there exists such that for some ;(iv)-strictly pseudocontractive if for each there exists such that for some .

Let be a real smooth Banach space. Let be a nonempty closed convex subset of and let be a nonlinear mapping. The so-called variational inequality problem (VIP) is the problem of finding such that which was considered by Aoyama et al. [1]. Note that VIP (10) is connected with the fixed point problem for nonlinear mapping (see e.g., [2]), the problem of finding a zero point of a nonlinear operator (see e.g., [3]), and so on. In particular, whenever a Hilbert space, the VIP (10) reduces to the classical VIP of finding such that

whose solution set is denoted by . Recently, in order to find a solution of VIP (10), Aoyama et al. [1] introduced Mann-type iterative scheme for an accretive operator as follows: where is a sunny nonexpansive retraction from onto . Then they proved a weak convergence theorem.

Definition 2. Let be a nonempty convex subset of a real Banach space . Let be a finite family of nonexpansive mappings of into itself and let be real numbers such that for every . Define a mapping as follows: Such a mapping is called the -mapping generated by and .

Lemma 3 (see [4]). Let be a nonempty closed convex subset of a strictly convex Banach space. Let be a finite family of nonexpansive mappings of into itself with and let be real numbers such that for every and . Let be the -mapping generated by and . Then .

From Lemma 3, it is easy to see that the -mapping is a nonexpansive mapping.

On the other hand, let be the family of all nonempty, closed, and bounded subsets of a real smooth Banach space . Also, we denote by the Hausdorff metric on defined by

Let be two multivalued mappings, let be an -accretive mapping, let be a single-valued mapping, and let be a nonlinear mapping. Then for any given , , Chidume et al. [5] introduced and studied the multivalued variational inclusion (MVVI) of finding such that is a solution of the following:

If and , then the MVVI (15) reduces to the problem of finding such that is a solution of the following:

We denote by the set of such solutions for MVVI (16).

The authors [5] established an existence theorem for MVVI (15) in a smooth Banach space and then proved that the sequence generated by their iterative algorithm converges strongly to a solution of MVVI (16).

Theorem 4 (see [5, Theorem ]). Let be a real smooth Banach space. Let , and be three multivalued mappings, let be a single-valued mapping, and let be a single-valued continuous mapping satisfying the following conditions:(C1) is -accretive and -uniformly continuous;(C2) is -uniformly continuous;(C3) is -uniformly continuous;(C4)the mapping is -strongly accretive and --Lipschitz with respect to the mapping , where is a strictly increasing function with ;(C5)the mapping is accretive and --Lipschitz with respect to the mapping .
For arbitrary , define the sequence iteratively by where is defined by for any , , and some , where is a positive real sequence such that . Then, there exists such that, for and for all , converges strongly to , and, for any and , is a solution of the MVVI (16).

Let be a nonempty closed convex subset of a real smooth Banach space and let be a sunny nonexpansive retraction from onto . Let be a contraction with coefficient . Motivated and inspired by the research going on this area, we introduce Mann-type viscosity approximation methods for finding solutions of the MVVI (16) which are also common ones of finitely many variational inequality problems and common fixed points of a countable family of nonexpansive mappings. Here, the Mann-type viscosity approximation methods are based on the Mann iteration method and viscosity approximation method. We consider and analyze Mann-type viscosity iterative algorithms not only in the setting of uniformly convex and 2-uniformly smooth Banach space but also in a uniformly convex Banach space having a uniformly Gáteaux differentiable norm. Under suitable assumptions, we derive some strong convergence theorems. In addition, we also give some applications of these theorems; for instance, we prove strong convergence theorems for finding a common fixed point of a finite family of -strictly pseudocontractive mappings () and a countable family of nonexpansive mappings in uniformly convex and 2-uniformly smooth Banach spaces. The results presented in this paper improve, extend, supplement, and develop the corresponding results announced in the earlier and very recent literature; see, for example, [611].

2. Preliminaries

3. Mann-Type Viscosity Algorithms in Uniformly Convex and 2-Uniformly Smooth Banach Spaces

In this section, we introduce Mann-type viscosity iterative algorithms in uniformly convex and -uniformly smooth Banach spaces and show strong convergence theorems. We will use the following useful lemma.

Lemma 17. Let be a nonempty closed convex subset of a real -uniformly smooth Banach space . Let be an -inverse strongly accretive mapping. Then, one has where . In particular, if , then is nonexpansive.

Theorem 18. Let be a uniformly convex and -uniformly smooth Banach space and let be a nonempty closed convex subset of such that . Let be a sunny nonexpansive retraction from onto . Let , , and be three multivalued mappings, let be a single-valued mapping, and let be a single-valued continuous mapping satisfying conditions (C1)–(C5) in Theorem 4. Consider that
(C6) is -inverse strongly accretive with .

Let be an -inverse strongly accretive mapping for each . Define the mapping by for , where and is the -uniformly smooth constant of . Let be the -mapping generated by and , where , for all and . Let be a contraction with coefficient . Let be a countable family of nonexpansive mappings of into itself such that . Suppose that , and are the sequences in and satisfy the following conditions:(i);(ii) and ;(iii) for some ;(iv);(v);(vi).

For arbitrary , define the sequence iteratively by where is defined by for any , , and some . Assume that for any bounded subset of and let be a mapping of into itself defined by for all and suppose that . Then converges strongly to , which solves the following VIP: and, for any and , is a solution of the MVVI (16).

Proof. First of all, by Lemma 17 we know that is a nonexpansive mapping, where for each . Hence, from the nonexpansivity of , it follows that is a nonexpansive mapping for each . Since is the -mapping generated by and , by Lemma 3, we deduce that . Utilizing Lemma 10, and the definition of , we get for each . Thus, we have
Now, let us show that for any , , there exists a point such that is a solution of the MVVI (15), for any and . Indeed, following the argument idea in the proof of Chidume et al. [5, Theorem 3.1], we put for all . Then by Proposition 6, is -strongly accretive. Since and are -uniformly continuous and is continuous, is continuous and hence lower semicontinuous. Thus, by Proposition 7,   is single-valued. Moreover, since is -strongly accretive and by assumption is -accretive, we have that is an -accretive and -strongly accretive mapping, and hence by Cioranescu [22, page 184], for any , we have that is closed and bounded. Therefore, by Morales [23], is surjective. Hence, for any and , there exists such that , where and . In addition, in terms of Proposition 7, we know that is a single-valued mapping. Assume that is -inverse strongly accretive with . Then by Lemma 17, we conclude that the mapping is nonexpansive.
Without loss of generality, we may assume that and . Let and let be sufficiently large such that . Then such that for any and . Let , , , . Then as , and are -uniformly continuous on , for , , and , there exist , , such that for any and imply and , respectively.
Let us show that for all . We show this by induction. First, by construction. Assume that . We show that . If possible we assume that , then . Further from (35) it follows that and hence
which immediately yields
Since is -strongly accretive with respect to and is accretive, we deduce from (41) that
Again from (35), we have that
Also, from Proposition 7, is a single-valued mapping; that is, for any and , we have and . On the other hand, it follows from Nadler [24] that, for and , there exist and such that respectively. Therefore, from (42) and (36), we have
So, we get , a contradiction. Therefore, is bounded.
Let us show that and .
Indeed, we define by for all . Then, is a nonexpansive mapping and the iterative scheme (35) can be rewritten as follows:
Taking into account condition (iv), we may assume that for some . From (47), we can rewrite by where . Now, we have where for some . By simple calculation, we have
So, from (49), we get
Also, for convenience, we write
By simple calculation, we get
From (51) and (53), we deduce that and hence where for some . Utilizing Lemma 17, we conclude from (55), conditions (i), (ii), and (vi), and the assumption on that
Furthermore, utilizing Lemma 16, we obtain from (39) and (47) that which immediately yields So, from (56) and conditions (ii), (v), and (vi), we get which together with the properties of and implies that
Note that
Hence, from (60), it follows that
Let us show that and .
Indeed, from the definition of , we can rewrite by where and .
Utilizing Lemma 12, from (63) we have which implies that From (62) and conditions (ii), (iii), and (iv), we have From the properties of , we have By Lemma 16, we deduce from the definition of the following which implies that From (67) and condition (iii), we have From the properties of , we have From the definition of , we can rewrite by where and .
Utilizing Lemma 12, from (72) and the convexity of , we have which implies that From (62), (74), and conditions (ii), (iii), and (iv), we have
By the properties of , we have
From (71), (76), and we have
Observe that Utilizing Lemma 13, we conclude from (78) that
Define a mapping , where are two constants with . Then by Lemma 15, we have . We observe that From (60), (76), and (80), we obtain
Now, we claim that where with being the fixed point of the contraction Then solves the fixed point equation . Thus we have By Lemma 9, we conclude that where It follows from (86) that
Letting in (88) and noticing (87), we derive where is a constant such that for all and . Taking in (89), we have
On the other hand, we have
It follows that
Taking into account that as , we have
Since has a uniformly Fréchet differentiable norm, the duality mapping is norm-to-norm uniformly continuous on bounded subsets of . Consequently, the two limits are interchangeable and hence (83) holds. Noticing that is norm-to-norm uniformly continuous on bounded subsets of , we deduce from (62) that
Finally, let us show that as . Indeed, utilizing Lemma 9, we obtain from (47) that and hence
Applying Lemma 8 to (96), we conclude from conditions (ii) and (vi) and (94) that as . This completes the proof.

Corollary 19. Let be a uniformly convex and -uniformly smooth Banach space and let be a nonempty closed convex subset of such that . Let be a sunny nonexpansive retraction from onto . Let , and be three multivalued mappings, let be a single-valued mapping, and let be a single-valued continuous mapping satisfying conditions (C1)–(C5) in Theorem 4 and (C6) is -inverse strongly accretive with .

Let be a -strictly pseudocontractive mapping for each . Define the mapping by for , where , and is the -uniformly smooth constant of . Let be the -mapping generated by and , where , for all and . Let be a contraction with coefficient . Let be a countable family of nonexpansive mappings of into itself such that . Suppose that , and are the sequences in and satisfy the following conditions:(i);(ii) and ;(iii) for some ;(iv);(v);(vi).

For arbitrary , define the sequence iteratively by where is defined by for any , and some . Assume that for any bounded subset of and let be a mapping of into itself defined by for all and suppose that . Then converges strongly to , which solves the following VIP: and, for any and is a solution of the MVVI (16).

Proof. Since is a -strictly pseudocontractive mapping for each , it is known that is -inverse strongly accretive for each . In Theorem 18, we put for , where . It is not hard to see that . As a matter of fact, we have, for , Accordingly, we conclude that   . Therefore, the desired result follows from Theorem 18.

Remark 20. Theorem 18 improves, extends, supplements, and develops [5, Theorem 3.2] and [25, Theorem 3.1] in the following aspects.

(i) Kangtunyakarn's problem of finding a point of (see [25, Theorem 1.1]) is extended to develop our problem of finding a point of in Theorem 18 because is nonexpansive with and (see [25, ]). It is clear that the problem of finding a point of in Theorem 18 is more general and more subtle than the problem of finding a point of in [5, Theorem 3.2].

(ii) The iterative scheme in [25, Theorem 3.1] is extended to develop the iterative scheme (35) of Theorem 18 by virtue of the iterative schemes of [5, Theorem 3.2]. The iterative scheme (35) of Theorem 18 is more advantageous and more flexible than the iterative scheme of [10, Theorem 3.2] because it can be applied to solving three problems (i.e., MVVI (16), a finite family of VIPs, and the fixed point problem of ) and involves several parameter sequences , , , , , and .

(iii) Theorem 18 extends and generalizes [5, Theorems 3.2] to the setting of a countable family of nonexpansive mappings and a finite family of VIPs. In the meantime, Theorem 18 extends and generalizes Kangtunyakarn [25, Theorem 3.1] to the setting of the MVVI (16).

(iv) The iterative scheme (35) in Theorem 18 is very different from every one in [5, Theorem 3.2] and [25, Theorem 3.1] because every iterative scheme in [25, Theorem 3.1] and [5, Theorem 3.2] is one-step iterative scheme and the iterative scheme (35) in Theorem 18 is the combination of two iterative schemes in [25, Theorem 3.1] and [5, Theorem 3.2].

(v) No boundedness condition on the ranges and is imposed in Theorems 18.

Since is the -mapping generated by and , by Lemma 3, we deduce that . Utilizing Lemma 10 and the definition of , we get for each . Thus, we have
Repeating the same arguments as those in the proof of Theorem 18, we can prove that for any , , there exists a point such that is a solution of the MVVI (15), for any and . In addition, in terms of Proposition 7, we know that is a single-valued mapping due to the fact that is -strongly accretive. Assume that is -strictly pseudocontractive and -strongly accretive with . Then by Lemma 21, we conclude that the mapping is nonexpansive.
Without loss of generality, we may assume that and . Let and let be sufficiently large such that . Observe that Utilizing (106) and repeating the same arguments as those in the proof of Theorem 18, we can derive for all . Hence is bounded.
Let us show that and .
Indeed, we define by for all . Then, is a nonexpansive mapping and the iterative scheme (102) can be rewritten as follows: Repeating the same arguments as those of (56), (60), (62), (76), and (80) in the proof of Theorem 18, we can obtain that
Define a mapping , where are two constants with . Then by Lemma 15, we have that . We observe that From (109), we obtain
Now, we claim that where with being the fixed point of the contraction Then solves the fixed point equation . Repeating the same arguments as those of (93) in the proof of Theorem 18, we can deduce that Since has a uniformly Gáteaux differentiable norm, the duality mapping is norm-to-weak uniformly continuous on bounded subsets of . Consequently, the two limits are interchangeable and hence (112) holds. Noticing that is norm-to-weak uniformly continuous on bounded subsets of , we conclude from (108) that
Finally, let us show that as . Indeed, repeating the same arguments as those (96) in the proof of Theorem 18, we can deduce from (107) that Applying Lemma 8 to (116), we infer from conditions (ii) and (vi) and (115) that as . This completes the proof.

Corollary 23. Let be a uniformly convex Banach space which has a uniformly Gáteaux differentiable norm and let be a nonempty closed convex subset of such that . Let be a sunny nonexpansive retraction from onto . Let , and be three multivalued mappings, let be a single-valued mapping, and let be a single-valued continuous mapping satisfying conditions (C1)–(C5) in Theorem 4 and (H6) is -strictly pseudocontractive and -strongly accretive with .

For each , let be a self-mapping such that is -strictly pseudocontractive and -strongly accretive with . Define the mapping by where for each . Let be the -mapping generated by and , where , for all and . Let be a contraction with coefficient . Let be a countable family of nonexpansive mappings of into itself such that . Suppose that , and are the sequences in and satisfy the following conditions:(i);(ii) and ;(iii) for some ;(iv);(v);(vi).For arbitrary , define the sequence iteratively by where is defined by

for any , , and some . Assume that for any bounded subset of and let be a mapping of into itself defined by for all and suppose that . Then converges strongly to , which solves the following VIP: and, for any and , is a solution of the MVVI (16).
