Fixed point theory for a class of generalized nonexpansive mappings (Q616701)

Let \(C\) be a nonempty subset of a Banach space \(X\). In [\textit{T. Suzuki}, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 340, No.~2, 1088--1095 (2008; Zbl 1140.47041)], a mapping \(T :C\rightarrow X\) is said to satisfy condition \((C)\) on \(C\) if, for all \(x,y\in C\), \(\frac{1}{2}\) \(\|x-Tx\|\leq\|x-y\|\) implies \(\|Tx-Ty\|\leq \|x-y\|\). The class of mappings satisfying condition \((C)\) is larger than the class of nonexpansive mappings. In the paper under review, the authors define two new classes of generalized nonexpansive mappings, which contain properly the class of mappings satisfying condition \((C)\). For \(\mu \geq 1\), the mapping \( T:C\rightarrow X\) is said to satisfy condition \((E_\mu)\) on \(C\) if, for all \(x,y\in C\), \(\|x-Ty\|\leq \mu\|x-Tx\|+\|x-y\|\). Moreover, \(T\) is said to satisfy condition \((E)\) on \(C\) whenever \(T\) satisfies \((E_\mu)\) for some \( \mu \geq 1\). For \(\lambda \in(0,1)\), the mapping \(T\) is said to satisfy condition \((C_\lambda)\) on \(C\) if, for all \(x,y\in C\), \(\lambda \|x-Tx\|\leq \|x-y\|\) implies \(\|Tx-Ty\|\leq \|x-y\|\,\|x-Ty\|\). The authors study for both the classes of mappings, satisfying condition \((E)\) or \((C_\lambda)\), the existence of fixed points and their asymptotic behavior.
