Abstract

Let 𝑋 be a uniformly convex Banach space and 𝒮 = { 𝑇 ( 𝑠 ) ∶ 0 ≤ 𝑠 < ∞ } be a nonexpansive semigroup such that ⋂ 𝐹 ( 𝒮 ) = 𝑠 > 0 𝐹 ( 𝑇 ( 𝑠 ) ) ≠ ∅ . Consider the iterative method that generates the sequence { 𝑥 𝑛 } by the algorithm 𝑥 𝑛 + 1 = 𝛼 𝑛 𝑓 ( 𝑥 𝑛 ) + 𝛽 𝑛 𝑥 𝑛 + ( 1 − 𝛼 𝑛 − 𝛽 𝑛 ) ( 1 / 𝑠 𝑛 ) ∫ 𝑠 𝑛 0 𝑇 ( 𝑠 ) 𝑥 𝑛 𝑑 𝑠 , 𝑛 ≥ 0 , where { 𝛼 𝑛 } , { 𝛽 𝑛 } , and { 𝑠 𝑛 } are three sequences satisfying certain conditions, 𝑓 ∶ 𝐶 → 𝐶 is a contraction mapping. Strong convergence of the algorithm { 𝑥 𝑛 } is proved assuming 𝑋 either has a weakly continuous duality map or has a uniformly Gâteaux differentiable norm.
