Nonlinear ergodic theorems for asymptotically nonexpansive mappings in Banach spaces satisfying Opial's condition (Q1189683)

The author proves the following result: Let \(E\) be a \(B\)-convex Banach space fulfilling Opial's condition and \(C\) be a nonempty, bounded, closed, convex, weakly compact subset of \(E\). Assume that \(T: C\to C\) is an asymptotically nonexpansive mapping with \(L(T_ n)^{-1} T_ n\) (\(L(T_ n)\) denotes the Lipschitz norm of \(T_ n\)) being of type \((\gamma)\) for \(n\in \mathbb{N}\). If (\(a_{nk})\) is a strongly ergodic matrix of nonnegative entries, \(x\in C\) and \(y_ n:=\sum_{k=0}^ \infty a_{nk}T^ k x\), then \((y_ n)\) converges weakly to a fixed point of \(T\). Here, \(T: C\to C\) is called of type \((\gamma)\), iff \(\gamma\) is a strictly increasing, convex function on \(\mathbb{R}_ +\) with \(\gamma(0)=0\) and \[ \gamma(\| sTx+(1-s)Ty-T(sx+(1-s)y)\|)\leq\| x-y\|-\| Tx-Ty\|, \] for all \(x,y\in C\), \(s\in[0,1]\). This result is closely related to the mean ergodic theorem of Baillon and various generalizations.
