1. Introduction

Let be a real Banach space with , its nonempty subset. Let be a mapping. A point is called a fixed point of if and only if . In this paper, stands for the set of natural numbers. We will also denote by the set of fixed points of , that is, and by , the set of common fixed points of two mappings and . is called asymptotically nonexpansive if for a sequence   with , for all and all . is called uniformly -Lipschitzian if for some , for all and all . is said to be nonexpansive if for all . Let be a nonexpansive retraction of into . A nonself-mapping is called asymptotically nonexpansive (according to Chidume et al. [1]) if for a sequence   with , we have for all and . is called uniformly -Lipschitzian if for some , for all and all .

In what follows, we fix as a starting point of the process under consideration, and take , sequences in .

Agarwal et al. [2] recently introduced the iteration process They showed that their process is independent of Mann and Ishikawa and converges faster than both of these. See Proposition  3.1 [2].

Obviously the above process deals with one self-mapping only. The case of two mappings in iteration processes has also remained under study since Das and Debata [3] gave and studied a two mappings scheme. Also see, for example, Takahashi and Tamura [4] and Khan and Takahashi [5]. Note that two mappings case, that is, approximating the common fixed points, has its own importance as it has a direct link with the minimization problem, see, for example, Takahashi [6].

Being an important generalization of the class of nonexpansive self-mappings, the class of asymptotically nonexpansive self-mappings was introduced by Goebel and Kirk [7] whereas the concept of asymptotically nonexpansive nonself-mappings was introduced by Chidume et al. [1] in 2003 as a generalization of asymptotically nonexpansive self-mappings. Actually they studied the iteration process

Nonself asymptotically nonexpansive mappings have been studied by many authors [811]. Wang [10] studied the process

Very recently, Thianwan [12] considered a new iterative scheme (called projection type Ishikawa iteration) as follows:

As a matter of fact, if is a self-mapping, then is an identity mapping. In addition, if is asymptotically nonexpansive and is a nonexpansive retraction, then is asymptotically nonexpansive. Indeed, for all and , it follows that The converse, however, may not be true. Therefore, Zhou et al. [13] introduced the following generalized definition recently.

Definition 1.1 (see [13]). Let be a nonempty subset of real normed linear space . Let be the nonexpansive retraction of into .(i)A nonself-mapping is called asymptotically nonexpansive with respect to if there exists sequences with as such that (ii)A nonself-mapping is said to be uniformly -Lipschitzian with respect to if there exists a constant such that

Futhermore, by studying the following iterative process where , , and are three sequences in for some , satisfying , Zhou et al. [13] obtained some strong and weak convergence theorems for common fixed points of nonself asymptotically nonexpansive mappings with respect to in uniformly convex Banach spaces. As a consequence, the main results of Chidume et al. [1] were deduced.

Incorporating the ideas of Agarwal et al. [2], Thianwan [12], and Zhou et al. [13], a new two-step iterative scheme for two nonself asymptotically nonexpansive mappings is introduced and studied in this paper. Our process reads as follows.

Let be a nonempty closed convex subset of a real normed linear space with retraction . Let be two nonself asymptotically nonexpansive mappings with respect to : where and are sequences in . Following the method of Agarwal et al. [2], it is not difficult to see that our process is able to compute common fixed points at a rate better than (1.3) and (1.4).

Under suitable conditions, the sequence   defined by (1.9) can also be generalized to iterative sequence with errors. Thus all the results proved in this paper can also be proved for the iterative process with errors. In this case our main iterative process (1.9) looks like where , , , , , are real sequences in satisfying and , are bounded sequences in . Observe that the iterative process (1.10) with errors reduces to the iterative process (1.9) when .

2. Preliminaries

For the sake of convenience, we restate the following concepts and results.

Let be a Banach space with its dimension greater than or equal to 2. The modulus of is the function defined by

A Banach space is uniformly convex if and only if for all .

Let be a Banach space and . The space is said to be smooth if exists for all .

A subset of is said to be a retract if there exists a continuous mapping such that for all . A mapping is said to be a retraction if . Let and be subsets of a Banach space . A mapping from into is called sunny if for with and .

Note that, if is a retraction, then for every (the range of ). It is well-known that every closed convex subset of a uniformly convex Banach space is a retract.

For any , the inward set is defined as follows: A mapping is said to satisfy the inward condition if for all . is said to be weakly inward if for each , where is the closure of .

A Banach space is said to satisfy Opial's condition if, for any sequence   in , implies that for all with , where means that converges weakly to .

Recall that the mapping with is said to satisfy condition [14] if there is a nondecreasing function with , for all such that for all , where . Khan and Fukhar-ud-din [15] modified condition for two mappings as follows: Two mappings , are said to satisfy condition [15] if there is a nondecreasing function with , for all such that for all , where .

Note that condition reduces to condition ) when . It is also well-known that condition is weaker than demicompactness or semicompactness, see [14].

A mapping with domain and range in is said to be demiclosed at if whenever is a sequence in such that converges weakly to and converges strongly to , then .

We need the following lemmas for our main results.

Lemma 2.1 (see [16]). If , are two sequences of nonnegative real numbers such that and , then exists.

Lemma 2.2 (see [17]). Suppose that is a uniformly convex Banach space and for all . Also, suppose that and are sequences of   such that hold for some . Then .

Lemma 2.3 (see [18]). Let be real smooth Banach space, let be nonempty closed convex subset of with as a sunny nonexpansive retraction, and let be a mapping satisfying weakly inward condition. Then .

Lemma 2.4 (see [1]). Let be a uniformly convex Banach space and let be a nonempty closed convex subset of . Let be a nonself asymptotically nonexpansive mapping. Then is demiclosed with respect to zero, that is, and imply that .

3. Main Results

3.1. Convergence Theorems in Real Banach Spaces

In this section, we prove the strong convergence of the iteration scheme (1.9) to a common fixed point of nonself asymptotically nonexpansive mappings and with respect to in real Banach spaces. Let , be two nonself asymptotically nonexpansive mappings with respect to with sequences satisfying , respectively. Put , then obviously . From now on we will take this sequence   for both and .

We first prove the following lemmas.

Lemma 3.1. Let be a real normed linear space and a nonempty closed convex subset of which is also a nonexpansive retract of . Let be two nonself asymptotically nonexpansive mappings with respect to with sequence   satisfying . Suppose that is defined by (1.9) and . Then, (i) exists for all ;(ii)there exists a constant such that   for all and .

Proof. (i) Let . From (1.9), we have By (3.1) and (1.9), we obtain Note that is equivalent to . Thus, by (3.2) and Lemma 2.1, exists for all .
(ii) From (3.2), we have It is well known that for all . Using it for the above inequality, we have where . That is,   for all and .

Theorem 3.2. Let be a real Banach space and a nonempty closed convex subset of which is also a nonexpansive retract of . Let be two nonself asymptotically nonexpansive mappings with respect to with sequence   satisfying . Suppose that is defined by (1.9) and  .  Then, converges strongly to a common fixed point of   and if and only if , where .

Proof. The necessity of the conditions is obvious. Thus, we need only prove the sufficiency. Suppose that . From (3.2), we have As , therefore exists by Lemma 2.1. But by hypothesis , therefore we must have .
Next we show that is a Cauchy sequence. Let . Since , therefore there exists a constant such that for all , we have where is the constant in Lemma 3.1(ii). So we can find such that Using Lemma 3.1(ii), we have for all and that Hence is a Cauchy sequence in a closed subset of a Banach space , therefore it must converge to a point in . Let . Now, gives that . Since the set of fixed points of asymptotically nonexpansive mappings is closed, we have . This completes the proof of the theorem.

On the lines similar to this theorem, we can also prove the following theorem which addresses the error terms.

Theorem 3.3. Let be a real Banach space and a nonempty closed convex subset of which is also a nonexpansive retract of . Let , be two asymptotically nonexpansive mappings with respect to with sequence   satisfying . Suppose that is defined by (1.10) with , and , Then, converges strongly to a common fixed point of   and if and only if  , where .

3.2. Convergence Theorems in Real Uniformly Convex Banach Spaces

In this section, we prove the strong and weak convergence of the sequence defined by the iteration scheme (1.9) to a common fixed point of nonself asymptotically nonexpansive mappings and with respect to in real uniformly convex and smooth Banach space. We first prove the following lemma.

Lemma 3.4. Let be a nonempty closed convex subset of a real uniformly convex Banach space . Let , be two nonself asymptotically nonexpansive mappings with respect to with sequence   satisfying . Suppose that is defined by(1.9), where and are sequences in for some . If , then

Proof. By Lemma 3.1(i), exists. Assume that . If , the conclusion is obvious. Suppose . Taking on both sides in that inequality (3.1), we have Thus for all implies that Similarly, Further, gives that Hence, using (3.11), (3.12), (3.14), and Lemma 2.2, we obtain Noting that which yields that By (3.10) and (3.17), we obtain Moreover, for all implies that Hence gives that Again by Lemma 2.2, we obtain In addition, from , we have Hence by (3.22), Also implies by (3.15), (3.22), and (3.24) that Using (3.24) and (3.26), we obtain so that Then gives From (3.15), and (3.30), we have Thus from , we get From (3.30), (3.31) and we have Now we make use of the fact that every nonself asymptotically nonexpansive mapping with respect to must be uniformly -Lipschitzian with respect to combined with (3.22), (3.32), and (3.34), where , to reach at Thus From (3.24), (3.26), and (3.31), we have and so Again making use of the fact that every nonself asymptotically nonexpansive mapping with respect to must be uniformly -Lipschitzian with respect to and (3.28), (3.31) and (3.38), we have This gives, This completes the proof of the lemma.

Theorem 3.5. Let be a nonempty closed convex subset of a real uniformly convex and smooth Banach space with as a sunny nonexpansive retraction. Let be two weakly inward and nonself asymptotically nonexpansive mappings with respect to with sequence   satisfying . Suppose that is defined by  (1.9), where and are two sequences in for some . If one of and is completely continuous and , then converges strongly to a common fixed point of and .

Proof. By Lemma 3.1(i), exists for any . It is sufficient to show that has a subsequence which converges strongly to a common fixed point of and . By Lemma 3.4, . Suppose that is completely continuous. Noting that is nonexpansive, we conclude that there exists subsequence   of such that . Thus implies as . Again yields by continuity of and that . Similarly . By Lemma 2.3, . Since is closed, so . Thus converges strongly to a common fixed point of and . This completes the proof.

Theorem 3.6. Let be a nonempty closed convex subset of a real uniformly convex and smooth Banach space with as a sunny nonexpansive retraction. Let be two weakly inward and nonself asymptotically nonexpansive mappings with respect to with sequence   satisfying . Suppose that is defined by  (1.9), where and are two sequences in for some . If and satisfy condition and , then converges strongly to a common fixed point of and .

Proof. By Lemma 3.1(i), exists, and so, exists for all  . Also, by Lemma 3.4  . It follows from condition and Lemma 2.3 that That is, Since is a nondecreasing function satisfying , for all , therefore we have From Theorem 3.2, we obtain that is a Cauchy sequence in . Since is a closed subset of a complete space, there exists a such that as . Then, yields that . Further, it follows from the closedness of that . This completes the proof.

Theorem 3.7. Let be a nonempty closed convex subset of a real uniformly convex and smooth Banach space satisfying Opial's condition with as a sunny nonexpansive retraction. Let be two weakly inward and nonself asymptotically nonexpansive mappings with respect to with sequence   satisfying . Suppose that is defined by (1.9), where and are two sequences in for some . If , then converges weakly to a common fixed point of and .

Proof. Let . By Lemma 3.1(i), exists, and is bounded. Note that and are self-mappings from into itself. We now prove that has a unique weak subsequential limit in . Suppose that subsequences and of converge weakly to and , respectively. By Lemma 3.4, we have , . Lemma 2.4 guarantees that , that is, . Similarly, . Again in the same way, we can prove that . Lemma 2.3 now assures that . For uniqueness, assume that , then by Opial’s condition, we have which is a contradiction and hence . As a result, converges weakly to a common fixed point of and .

In a way similar to the above, we can also prove the results involving error terms as follows.
