On annihilated points and approximate fixed points of general higher-order nonexpansive mappings (Q6050031)

Summary: In this paper, we extend the results obtained by Ezearn on annihilated points for his higher-order nonexpansive mappings [\textit{J. Ezearn}, Fixed Point Theory Appl. 2015, Paper No. 88, 18 p. (2015; Zbl 1345.54043)] to the context of general higher-order nonexpansive mappings. Precisely, in his thesis [Fixed point theory of some generalisations of Lipschitz mappings with applications to linear and non-linear problems. Kumasi, Ghana: Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (PhD Thesis) (2017)], \textit{J. Ezearn} introduced the concept of annihilated points, which extends the notion of fixed points, and it is only meaningful in the context of higher-order nonexpansive mappings and gave some mild conditions when the annihilated points could exist in strictly convex Banach spaces. In the last direction, we also extend Ezearn's result on the approximate fixed point sequence for higher-order nonexpansive mappings to general higher-order nonexpansive mappings.
