Abstract

We introduce a new iterative scheme for finding a common fixed point of two countable families of multivalued quasi-nonexpansive mappings and prove a weak convergence theorem under the suitable control conditions in a uniformly convex Banach space. We also give a new proof method to the iteration in the paper of Abbas et al. (2011).

1. Introduction

A Banach space is said to be strictly convex if for all with and . A Banach space is called uniformly convex if for each there is a such that, for , with and , holds. The modulus of convexity of is defined by for all . is uniformly convex if , and for all . It is known that every uniformly convex Banach space is strictly convex and reflexive. Let . Then the norm of is said to be Gâteaux differentiable if exists for each . In this case is called smooth. The norm of is said to be Fréchet differentiable if for each the limit is attained uniformly for . The norm of is called uniformly Fréchet differentiable if the limit is attained uniformly for , . It is well known that (uniform) Fréchet differentiability of the norm of implies (uniform) Gâteaux differentiability of the norm of .

Let be the modulus of smoothness of defined by

A Banach space is said to be uniformly smooth if as . Suppose that ; then is said to be -uniformly smooth if there exists such that . It is easy to see that if is -uniformly smooth, then and is uniformly smooth. It is well known that is uniformly smooth if and only if the norm of is uniformly Fréchet differentiable, and hence the norm of is Fréchet differentiable. For more details, we refer the reader to Agarwal et al. [1] and Chidume et al. [2].

In recent years, many authors have done a lot of valuable research in Banach space. They extend some iterative schemes from Hilbert spaces to Banach spaces and obtain some convergence theorems which are very interesting and meaningful; see [35]. Moreover, a variety of mappings are considered by articles [39], including nonexpansive mappings, nonexpansive semigroup, strict pseudocontractions mappings, and total quasi--asymptotically nonexpansive mappings.

It is easy to know that the theory of multivalued nonexpansive mappings is harder than the corresponding theory of single-valued nonexpansive mappings. In 1969, Nadler [10] introduced multivalued contraction mapping and proved the corresponding convergence theorem. In 1973, Markin [11] first used the Hausdorff metric to study the fixed points for multivalued contractions and nonexpansive mappings. Later in 1997, Hu et al. [12] proved the convergence theorems for finding common fixed point of two multivalued nonexpansive mappings that satisfied certain contractive condition.

In 2005, Sastry and Babu [13] defined Mann and Ishikawa iterates for a multivalued mapping with a fixed point and proved that these iterates converge to a fixed point of the multivalued mapping under certain conditions. They have given an example that the fixed point generalized by limit of the sequence is different from the point of initial choice.

In 2011, Abbas et al. [14] introduced a new one-step iterative process to approximate common fixed points of two multivalued nonexpansive mappings in a real uniformly convex Banach space. Let be two multivalued nonexpansive mappings. They introduced iteration as follows: where and such that and for , and , , satisfying . Then they obtained strong convergence theorems for the proposed process under some basic boundary conditions.

In 2012, Chang et al. [15], for solving the convex feasibility problems for an infinite family of quasi--asymptotically nonexpansive mappings, used the modified block iterative method and obtained some strong convergence theorems under suitable conditions in Banach space.

In the same year, Bunyawat and Suantai [16] introduced an iterative method for finding a common fixed point of a countable family of multivalued quasi-nonexpansive mapping in a uniformly convex Banach space. They proved that the iterative sequence generated by their proposed method is an approximating fixed point sequence of the multivalued quasi-nonexpansive mapping under certain control conditions, and they got some strong convergence theorems of their proposed method.

Phuangphoo and Kumam [9] extended and improved the above results in 2012. They introduced a new iterative procedure which was constructed by the shrinking hybrid projection method for solving the common solution of fixed point problems for two total quasi--asymptotically nonexpansive multivalued mappings. Under suitable conditions, the strong convergence theorems were established in a uniformly smooth and strictly convex real Banach space with Kadec-Klee property.

Different iterative processes have been used to approximate fixed points of multivalued mappings. Many authors have intensively studied the fixed point theorems and got some results. At the same time, they extended this result to many discipline branches, such as control theory, convex optimization, variational inequalities, differential inclusion, and economics (see [39, 1722]).

Motivated by the above authors, we generalize and modify the hybrid block iterative algorithm (see [23]) for two countable families of multivalued quasi-nonexpansive mappings in a uniformly convex Banach space. First we prove that the sequence generated by our iterative method is weak convergence under the property conditions. Then we use compact space to prove the strong convergence in a uniformly convex Banach space. As expected, we got some weak and strong convergence theorems about the common fixed point of two countable families of multivalued quasi-nonexpansive mappings in a uniformly convex Banach space.

2. Preliminaries

Let be a real Banach space. A subset of is called proximinal if for each there exists an element such that where is the distance from the point to the set . It is not hard to known that weakly compact convex subsets of a Banach space and closed convex subsets of a uniformly convex Banach space are proximinal.

A map is called hemicompact if, for any sequence in such that as , there exists a subsequence of such that . We note that if is compact, then every multivalued mapping is hemicompact.

Let be a real Banach space. We denote as the class of all nonempty bounded and closed subsets of (see [10]), and denote as the family of nonempty bounded proximinal subsets of . The Hausdorff metric induced by the metric of is defined by for all , .

For a single-valued mapping , a point is called a fixed point of if . For a multivalued mapping , a point is called a fixed point of if . The set of fixed points of is denoted by .

Let be a uniformly convex real Banach space, and let be a nonempty closed convex subset of . A multivalued mapping is said to be(i)a contraction if there exists a constant such that (ii)nonexpansive if (iii)quasi-nonexpansive if and

It is well known that every nonexpansive multivalued mapping with is multivalued quasi-nonexpansive. But there exist multivalued quasi-nonexpansive mappings that are not multivalued nonexpansive. It is clear that if is a quasi-nonexpansive multivalued mapping, then is closed.

A Banach space is said to satisfy Opial’s condition if whenever is a sequence in which converges weakly to , then

Lemma 1 (see Chang et al. [15]). Let E be a uniformly convex Banach space, a positive number, and a closed ball of . Then, for any given sequence and for any given sequence of positive number with , there exists a continuous, strictly increasing, and convex function with such that, for any positive integer , with ,

Lemma 2 (see Schu [24]). Suppose that is a uniformly convex Banach space and for all positive integers . Also suppose that and are two sequences of such that , , and hold for some . Then .

Lemma 3 (see Liu [25] and Xu [26]). Let be a sequence of nonnegative real numbers satisfying the following property: where , , and satisfy the following restrictions:(i);(ii);(iii).
Then, converges to zero as .

3. Weak Convergence Theorem

In this section, we prove the weak convergence theorems for finding a common element in common set of fixed sets of two infinite families of multivalued quasi-nonexpansive mappings in a Banach space.

Theorem 4. Let be a nonempty closed convex subset of a uniformly convex Banach space with Opial's condition. For , let and be two sequences of multivalued quasi-nonexpansive mappings from into with and . Let be a sequence defined by where such that and such that , and are sequences in which satisfies and , , , and for . Then converges weakly to a point .

Proof. First we prove that is bounded and exists for each . In fact, from Lemma 2, (13), and and both being multivalued quasi-nonexpansive mappings, we have that From (15) we have that is nondecreasing and bounded by induction, so is bounded and exists.
Next we prove that and . Indeed, we can rewrite (15) as follows: Since , , and exists, we have ; by the property of , we also get that for each . From (13) we have Together with (17), we have On the other hand, from (14) and Lemma 1, we have Then, we can rewrite (20) as follows: Since and exists, we have ; by the property of , we also get that for each . By the triangle inequality, we have Together with (19) and (22), we get that
Now we prove that converges weakly to a point . Since is bounded, so there exists a subsequence of such that for some ; from (19) we have . Suppose that there exists such that and . By Opial's condition, we have that From and both being two multivalued quasi-nonexpansive mappings, we have that Taking on both sides of (27) and (28), respectively, from (17) and (24), we get that Combining (25) with (29) and combining (26) with (30), respectively, we get that a contradiction. So we have and for all by the proof of contradiction; this means that . Next we prove that converges weakly to . Take another subsequence of such that , for some . Again, as above, we conclude that . Now we show that . We assume that , since exists for every . By (10) we have that which means that , a contradiction. So we get that . Thus as . The proof is complete.

Remark 5. Motivated by [6, 7, 9, 14, 23], Theorem 4 improves and extends the following senses.(1)For the mappings, we extend the mappings from nonexpansive mappings to quasi-nonexpansive multi-valued mappings.(2)We extend all single-valued mappings to multi-valued mappings.(3)We extend two nonexpansive mappings or a countable family of mappings to two countable families of multivalued quasi-nonexpansive mappings.
If  ,    for each , then Theorem 4 is reduced to the following corollary.

Corollary 6. Let be a nonempty closed convex subset of a uniformly convex Banach space with Opial’s condition. Let and be two multivalued quasi-nonexpansive mappings from into with and . Let be a sequence defined by where such that and such that , and are sequences in which satisfies , , and . Then converges weakly to a point .

Theorem 7. Let be a nonempty compact convex subset of a uniformly convex Banach space . For , let be a sequence of multivalued quasi-nonexpansive mappings from into with and . Let be a sequence defined by where such that , is a sequence in which satisfies , and for . Then converges strongly to a point .

Proof. Put and for all in Theorem 4; then the conclusion of Theorem 7 is obtained.

4. Strong Convergence Theorem

In this section, we give a new proof method to iteration (4) in the basis of [14], and this proof method is easier than the one in [14].

Lemma 8 (see Abbas et al. [14]). Let be a uniformly convex Banach space and a nonempty closed convex subset of . Let be multivalued nonexpansive mappings and . Then for the sequence in (4), one has that exists for each , and .

Theorem 9. Let be a closed convex subset of a real Banach space , and let and assume bounded values, and let be as in Lemma 8. Then converges strongly to a common fixed point of .

Proof. Since is a nonempty compact subset of and , so there exists a subsequence of such that for some . Thus, it follows by Lemma 8 we have that Hence . By Lemma 8, exists. Hence . The proof is complete.
