Nonlinear ergodic theorems for an amenable semigroup of nonexpansive mappings in a Banach space (Q796811)

Let C be a nonempty closed convex subset of a Banach space E, S a semigroup of nonexpansive mappings t of C into itself, and F(S) the set of common fixed points of mappings t. Then the authors first prove the following: Let E be a real reflexive Banach space which has normal structure and let S be an semigroup of expansive mappings of C into itself. Suppose F(S)\(\neq \emptyset\). Then there exists a nonexpansive retraction P of C onto F(S) such that \(Pt=tP=P\) for every \(t\in S\) and every S-invariant closed convex subset of C is P-invariant. Secondly, they give a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of a nonexpansive retraction P of C onto F(S) such that \(Pt=tP=P\) for each \(t\in S\) and Px is contained in the closure of the convex hull of \(\{tx:\quad t\in S\}\) for each \(x\in C.\) At last, they prove the existence of such a retraction for a commutative semigroup of nonexpansive mappings in a smooth, strictly convex, and reflexive Banach space.
