Abstract

We first introduce the iterative procedure to approximate a common element of the fixed-point set of two quasinonexpansive mappings and the solution set of the system of mixed equilibrium problem (SMEP) in a real Hilbert space. Next, we prove the weak convergence for the given iterative scheme under certain assumptions. Finally, we apply our results to approximate a common element of the set of common fixed points of asymptotic nonspreading mapping and asymptotic TJ mapping and the solution set of SMEP in a real Hilbert space.

1. Introduction

Let be a real Hilbert space with inner product and norm , let be a nonempty closed convex subset of , and let be a mapping of into , then is said to be nonexpansive if for all . A mapping is said to be quasinonexpansive if for all and . It is well known that the set of fixed points of a quasi-nonexpansive mapping is a closed and convex set [1]. A mapping is said to be firmly nonexpansive [2] if for all , and it is an important example of nonexpansive mappings in a Hilbert space.

Let be a real-valued function, and let be an equilibrium bifunction, that is, for each . The mixed equilibrium problem is to find such that Denote the set of solution of (1.2) by . In particular, if , this problem reduces to the equilibrium problem, which is to find such that The set of solution of (1.3) is denoted by .

The problem (1.2) is very general in the sense that it includes, as special cases, optimization problems, variational inequalities, Min-Max problems, the Nash equilibrium problems in noncooperative games, and others; see, for example, Blum and Oettli [3] and Moudafi [4]. Numerous problems in physics, optimization, and economics reduce to find a solution of (1.3).

Let be two monotone bifunctions and is constant. In 2009, Moudafi [5] introduced an alternating algorithm for approximating a solution of the system of equilibrium problems, finding such that For such mappings and and two given positive constants , Plubtieng and Sombut [6] considered the following system of mixed equilibrium problem, finding such that In particular, if and , then problem (SMEP) reduces to (SEP). Furthermore, Plubtieng and Sombut [6] introduced the following iterative procedure to approximate a common element of the fixed-point set of a quasi-nonexpansive mapping and the solution set of (SMEP) in a Hilbert space . Let , and be given by where for some and satisfying appropriate conditions. The weak convergence theorems are obtained in a real Hilbert space.

On the other hand, in 1953, Mann [7] introduced the following iterative procedure to approximate a fixed point of a nonexpansive mapping in a Hilbert space : where the initial point is taken in arbitrarily, and is a sequence in .

For two nonexpansive mappings of into itself, Moudafi [4] studied weak convergence theorems in the following iterative process: for all , where and are appropriate sequences in and . Recently, Iemoto and Takahashi [8] also considered this iterative procedure for is a nonexpansive mapping and is a nonspreading mapping. Very recently, Kim [9] studied the weak and strong convergence for the Moudafi’s iterative scheme (1.8) of two quasi-nonexpansive mappings.

In this paper, inspired and motivated by Plubtieng and Sombut [6], Moudafi [4], Iemoto and Takahashi [8], and Kim [9], we first introduce the iterative procedure to approximate a common element of the common fixed point set of two quasi-nonexpansive mappings and the solution set of SMEP in a real Hilbert space. Next, we prove the weak convergence theorem for the given iterative scheme under certain assumptions. Finally, we apply our results to approximate a common element of the set of common fixed point of asymptotic nonspreading mapping and asymptotic mapping and the solution set of SMEP in a real Hilbert space.

3. Main Results

In this section, we prove the weak convergence for approximating a common element of the common fixed point set of two quasi-nonexpansive mappings and the solution set of the system of mixed equilibrium problems in a Hilbert space.

To begin with, let us state and proof the following characterizations of the solution set of GMEP.

Lemma 3.1. Let be a closed convex subset of a real Hilbert space . Let and be two mappings from satisfying (A1)–(A4), and let and be defined as in Lemma 2.5 associated to and , respectively. For given is a solution of problem (1.5) if and only if is a fixed point of the mapping defined by where .

Proof. For given , we observe the following equivalency: This completes the proof.

We note from Lemma 3.1 that the mapping is nonexpansive. Moreover, if is a closed bounded convex subset of , then the solution of problem (1.5) always exists. Throughout this paper, we denote the set of fixed points of by .

Theorem 3.2. Let be a nonempty closed convex subset of a real Hilbert space . Let and be two bifunctions from satisfying (A1)–(A4). Let and and be defined as in Lemma 2.5 associated to and , respectively. Let , , be two quasi-nonexpansive mappings such that are demiclosed at zero, that is, if , , and , then , with . Let the sequences , and , be given by where , for some , and satisfy then and is a solution of problem (1.5), where .

Proof. Let , then and .

This implies that , and are bounded. From (3.8), we have Since , this implies that Furthermore, since , we have From (3.10), we conclude that From (3.7), we have where is a constant satisfying . Again from (3.10), we conclude that Using , we have Now, we prove that We observe that which gives that Since , we have Using (3.12) and (3.15), we conclude that which gives that since . Similarly, we have which implies that Thus, we have Hence, . Since , we have Next, we prove that Since and are firmly nonexpansive, it follows that which gives that This implies that By the convexity of , we have Thus, Since , we have Since exists, we have Similarly, we have which gives that This implies that By the convexity of , we have Thus, Since , we have Since exists, we have Hence, It follow from (3.10), (3.33), and (3.40) that from which it follows that that is, Thus, Similarly, we have . Since is bounded sequence, there exists a subsequence of such that as . Since and are demiclosed at 0, we conclude that . Let be a mapping which is defined as in Lemma 3.1. Thus, we have and hence, This together with implies that , if is another subsequence of such that as . Since and are demiclosed at 0, we conclude that . From and , we will show that . Assume that . Since exists for all , by Opial’s Theorem 2.2, we have This is a contradiction. Thus, we have . This implies that . Since , we have . Put . Finally, we show that . Now from (2.4) and , we have Since is nonnegative and nonincreasing for all , it follows by Lemma 2.1 that converges strongly to some . By (3.49), we have Therefore, .

4. Applications

In this section, we apply our results to approximate a common element of the set of common fixed points of an asymptotic nonspreading mapping and an asymptotic mapping and the solution set of SMEP in a real Hilbert space. We recall the following definitions. A mapping is called nonspreading [13] if Furthermore, Takahashi and Yao [14] also introduced two nonlinear mappings in Hilbert spaces. A mapping is called a mapping [14] if for all . A mapping is called a [14] mapping if for all . For these two nonlinear mappings, and mappings, Takahashi and Yao [14] studied the existence results of fixed points in Hilbert spaces. Very recently, Lin et al. [15] introduced the following definitions of new mappings.

Definition 4.1. Let be a nonempty closed convex subset of a Hilbert space . We say that is an asymptotic nonspreading mapping if there exist two functions and , such that(A1) for all ,(A2) for all .

Remark 4.2. The class of asymptotic nonspreading mappings contains the class of nonspreading mappings and the class of mappings in a Hilbert space. Indeed, in Definition 4.1, we know that(i)if for all , then is a nonspreading mapping,(ii)if and for all , then is a mapping.

Definition 4.3. Let be a nonempty closed convex subset of a Hilbert space . We say is an asymptotic mapping if there exists two functions and , such that(B1) for all ,(B2) for all .

Remark 4.4. The class of asymptotic mappings contains the class of mappings and the class of nonexpansive mappings in a Hilbert space. Indeed, in Definition 4.3, we know that(i)if and for each , then is a nonexpansive mapping,(ii)if for each , then is a mapping.

It is well known that the set of fixed points of a quasi-nonexpansive mapping is a closed and convex set [1]. Hence, if is an asymptotic nonspreading mapping (resp., asymptotic mapping) with , then is a quasi-nonexpansive mapping, and this implies that is a nonempty closed convex subset of .

Theorem 4.5 (see [15]). Let be a nonempty closed convex subset of a real Hilbert space , and let be an asymptotic nonspreading mapping, then is demiclosed at 0.

Theorem 4.6 (see [15]). Let be a nonempty closed convex subset of a real Hilbert space , and let be an asymptotic mapping, then is demiclosed at 0.

Applying the above results, we have the following theorem.

Let and and be defined as in Lemma 2.5 associated to and , respectively. Let , , be any one of asymptotic nonspreading mapping and asymptotic mapping such that . Let , and be given by where for some and satisfying then , and is a solution of problem (1.5), where .

Setting and in the above theorem, we have the following result.

Corollary 4.8. Let be a nonempty closed convex subset of a real Hilbert space . Let be the bifunctions from satisfying (A1)–(A4). Let , , be any one of asymptotic nonspreading mapping and asymptotic mapping such that . For given and , let the sequences and be defined by where , are two sequences in satisfying then for some .
