Strong convergence theorems for finitely many nonexpansive mappings and applications (Q885318): Difference between revisions

This article deals with new, more cumbersome and freakish, approximations \(x_n\) to a fixed point for nonexpansive mappings of a nonempty closed convex subset of a Banach space \(E\); the authors consider the case when \(E\) is reflexive and has a weakly continuous duality mapping and the norm of \(E\) is uniformly Gâteaux differentiable. Moreover, they consider a finite family of nonexpansive mappings \({\mathcal T} = \{T_1, \dots, T_r\}\) of \(C\) into itself with nonempty set of common fixed points and a class of \(W\)-mappings generated by \({\mathcal T}\). These \(W\)-mappings are defined by chains \(U_1 = \alpha_1T_1 + (1 - \alpha_1)I\), \(U_2 = \alpha_2T_2U_1 + (1 - \alpha_2)I, \dots , U_{r-1} = \alpha_{r-1}T_{r-1}U_{r-2} + (1 - \alpha_r)I\), \(W = U_r = \alpha_rT_rU_{r-1} + (1 - \alpha_r)I\), where \(\alpha, \dots , \alpha_r\) are reals from \([0,1]\). The authors' approximations are \[ x_{n+1} = \lambda_ny + (1 - \lambda_n)W_nx_n, \quad n = 1,2,\dots, \;y, x_1 \in C, \] where \(W_n\) is a sequence of \(W\)-mappings generated by \({\mathcal T}\) and \(\lambda_n\) is a sequence from \((0,1)\) such that \[ \lim_{n \to \infty} \;\lambda_n = 0, \quad \sum_{n=1}^\infty \lambda_n = \infty, \quad \lim_{n \to \infty} \;\frac{\lambda_{n-1}}{\lambda_n} = 1. \] Theorems on the strong convergence of these approximations are proved. Based on these results, the problem of finding a common fixed point of finitely many mappings is also considered.
