Abstract

We proved that the modified implicit Mann iteration process can be applied to approximate the fixed point of strictly hemicontractive mappings in smooth Banach spaces.

1. Introduction

Let be a nonempty subset of an arbitrary Banach space and let be its dual space. The symbols and stand for the domain and the set of fixed points of (for a single-valued mapping is called a fixed point of iff ). We denote by the normalized duality mapping from to defined by where denotes the duality pairing. In a smooth Banach space, is singlevalued (we denoted by ).

Remark 1.1. (1) is called uniformly smooth if is uniformly convex.
(2) In a uniformly smooth Banach space, is uniformly continuous on bounded subsets of .

Let be a mapping.

Definition 1.2. The mapping is called Lipshitz if there exists a constant such that
for all . If , then is called nonexpansive and if , then is called contractive.

Definition 1.3 (see [1, 2]). (1) The mapping is said to be pseudocontractive if for all and .
(2) The mapping is said to be strongly pseudocontractive if there exists a constant such that for all and .
(3) The mapping is said to be local strongly pseudocontractive if for each there exists a constant such that for all and .
(4) The mapping is said to be strictly hemicontractive if and if there exists a constant such that for all ,   and .

Clearly, each strongly pseudocontractive mapping is local strongly pseudocontractive.

Chidume [1] established that the Mann iteration sequence converges strongly to the unique fixed point of in case is a Lipschitz strongly pseudocontractive mapping from a bounded closed convex subset of (or ) into itself. Schu [3] generalized the result in [1] to both uniformly continuous strongly pseudocontractive mappings and real smooth Banach spaces. Park [4] extended the result in [1] to both strongly pseudocontractive mappings and certain smooth Banach spaces. Rhoades [5] proved that the Mann and Ishikawa iteration methods may exhibit different behaviors for different classes of nonlinear mappings. Afterwards, several generalizations have been made in various directions (see, e.g., [613]).

In 2001, Xu and Ori [14] introduced the following implicit iteration process for a finite family of nonexpansive mappings (here ) with a real sequence in and an initial point : which can be written in the following compact form: where (here the function takes values in ). Xu and Ori [14] proved the weak convergence of this process to a common fixed point of the finite family defined in a Hilbert space. They further remarked that it is yet unclear what assumptions on the mappings and/or the parameters are sufficient to guarantee the strong convergence of the sequence .

In [11], Osilike proved the following results.

Theorem 1.4. Let be a real Banach space and let be a nonempty closed convex subset of . Let be strictly pseudocontractive mappings from to with . Let be a real sequence satisfying the following conditions: (i), (ii), (iii).
From arbitrary , define the sequence by the implicit iteration process (1.8). Then converges strongly to a common fixed point of the mappings if and only if .

Remark 1.5. One can easily see that for ,  . Hence the results of Osilike [11] are needed to be improved.

Let be a nonempty closed bounded convex subset of an arbitrary smooth Banach space and let be a continuous strictly hemicontractive mapping. We proved that the implicit Mann type iteration method converges strongly to a unique fixed point of .

The results presented in this paper extend and improve the corresponding results particularly in [1, 3, 4, 7, 8, 10, 11, 13, 15].

2. Preliminaries

We need the following results.

Lemma 2.1 (see [4]). Let be a smooth Banach space. Suppose that one of the following holds: (a) is uniformly continuous on any bounded subsets of ,(b) for all in ,(c)for any bounded subset of , there is a function such that
for all , where satisfies .
Then for any and any bounded subset , there exists such that for all and .

Remark 2.2. (1) If is uniformly smooth, then in Lemma 2.1 holds.
(2) If is a Hilbert space, then in Lemma 2.1 holds.

Lemma 2.3 (see [8]). Let be a mapping with . Then is strictly hemicontractive if and only if there exists a constant such that for all and , there exists satisfying

Lemma 2.4 (see [10]). Let be an arbitrary normed linear space and let be a mapping. (a)If is a local strongly pseudocontractive mapping and , then is a singleton and is strictly hemicontractive.(b)If is strictly hemicontractive, then is a singleton.
