Abstract

We present the equivalence of some stochastic fixed point iterative algorithms by proving the equivalence between the convergence of random implicit Jungck-Kirk-multistep, random implicit Jungck-Kirk-Noor, random implicit Jungck-Kirk-Ishikawa, and random implicit Jungck-Kirk-Mann iterative algorithms for generalized -contractive-like random operators defined on separable Banach spaces.

1. Introduction

Probabilistic functional analysis is an aspect of mathematics that deals with probabilistic models to solve uncertainties and ambiguities that exist in real-world problems. Random nonlinear analysis is a vital area of probabilistic functional analysis that deals with various classes of random operator equations and related problems and solutions. The development of various random methods has transformed the financial markets. Random fixed point theorems for random contraction mappings on separable complete metric spaces were first proved by Spacek [1] and Hans (see [2, 3]). Random fixed point theory has become the full-fledged research area and various ideas associated with the theory are applied to obtain the solutions to a class of stochastic integral equations (see [4, 5]). Random fixed theorems are well known stochastic generalizations of classical fixed point theorems and are usually needed in the theory of random equations, random matrices, random differential equations, and different classes of random operators emanating in physical systems [6, 7]. The origin and various generalizations of random fixed point theorem exist in the literature; for complete survey, see [3] and several related references therein.

The concept of employing various iterative schemes in approximating fixed points of contractive-like operators is very useful in fixed point theory and applications and other relevant fields like numerical analysis, operation research, and so forth (see [815]) This is due to the close relationship that exists between the problem of solving nonlinear equations and that of approximating fixed points of corresponding contractive-like operator.

However, while many researchers have proved useful results on the equivalence of the various iterations, that is, the convergence of any of the iterative methods to the unique fixed point of the contractive operator for single map is equivalent to the convergence of the other iterations (see [1624]), it is observed that little result is known of the equivalence of implicit schemes for a pair of maps [25]. This work will address these areas.

Since and , it is shown that the convergence of random implicit Jungck-Kirk-Mann iteration (14) is equivalent to the convergence of random implicit Jungck-Kirk-multistep iteration (11) when applied to a pair of random weakly compatible generalized -contractive-like conditions (19). This ends the proof.

Since the random implicit Jungck-Kirk-multistep iteration (11) generalizes other random implicit Jungck-Kirk-type iterations (12), (13), and (14), then Theorem 7 leads to the following corollaries.

Using MATLAB, we show in Table 1 that (11), (12), (13), and (14) are equivalently used to approximate the stochastic common fixed point .

4. Conclusion

In this work, we have investigated the equivalence of convergence of various stochastic implicit Jungck-Kirk-type iterations for generalized random contractive-like operators in separable Banach spaces. We also gave an example to show the equivalence results. We hope that the findings in this paper will help researchers enhance and promote the further study on iterative schemes for two or more maps in well known spaces to carry out a general framework for their applications in real life.
