Abstract
We introduce a new iterative scheme and a new mapping generated by infinite family of nonexpansive mappings and infinite real number. By using both of these ideas, we obtain strong convergence theorem for finding a common element of the set of solution of equilibrium problem and the set of variational inequality and the set of fixed-point problems of infinite family of nonexpansive mappings. Moreover, we apply our main result to obtain strong convergence theorems for finding a common element of the set of solution of equilibrium problem and the set of variational inequality and the set of common fixed point of pseudocontractive mappings.
1. Introduction
Let be a real Hilbert space and let be a nonempty closed convex subset of . Let be a nonlinear mapping and let be a bifunction. A mapping of into itself is called nonexpansive if . We denote by the set of fixed points of (i.e., ). Goebel and Kirk [1] showed that is always closed convex, and also nonempty provided has a bounded trajectory.
A bounded linear operator on is called strongly positive with coefficient if there is a constant with the property
The equilibrium problem for is to find , such that The set of solutions of (1.2) is denoted by . Many problems in physics, optimization, and economics are seeking some elements of , see [2, 3]. Several iterative methods have been proposed to solve the equilibrium problem, see, for instance, [2–4]. In 2005, Combettes and Hirstoaga [3] introduced an iterative scheme for finding the best approximation to the initial data when EP() is nonempty and proved a strong convergence theorem.
The variational inequality problem is to find a point , such that The set of solutions of the variational inequality is denoted by . Numerous problems in physics, optimization, variational inequalities, minimax problems, the Nash equilibrium problem in noncooperative games reduce to find element of (1.2) and (1.3).
A mapping of into is called inverse-strongly monotone, see [5], if there exists a positive real number , such that for all .
The problem of finding a common fixed point of a family of nonexpansive mappings has been studied by many authors. The well-known convex feasibility problem reduces to finding a point in the intersection of the fixed-point sets of a family of nonexpansive mapping (see [6, 7]).
The problem of finding a common element of and the set of all common fixed points of a family of nonexpansive mappings is of wide interdisciplinary interest and importance. Many iterative methods are purposed for finding a common element of the solutions of the equilibrium problem and fixed-point problem of nonexpansive mappings, see [8–10].
In 2007, S. Takahashi and W. Takahashi [10] introduced a general iterative method for finding a common element of and . They defined in the following way: where , and proved strong convergence of the scheme (1.5) to , where in the framework of a Hilbert space, under some suitable conditions on , and bifunction .
In this paper, by motive of (1.5), we prove strong convergence theorem for finding a common element of the set of solution of equilibrium problem and the set of variational inequality and the set of fixed-point problems by using a new mapping generated by infinite family of nonexpansive mapping and infinite real number. Moreover, we apply our main result to obtain strong convergence theorems for finding a common element of the set of solution of equilibrium problem and the set of variational inequality and the set of common fixed point of pseudocontractive mappings.
2. Preliminaries

Let be infinite family of -pseudocontractions mappings with . Define a mapping by , , and let , where ,, and . For every , let and be -mappings generated by and and , and , respectively. Let be sequences generated by and
