Iterative solution of nonlinear equations of accretive and pseudocontractive types. (Q1399873)

The authors prove the following theorem without the assumption of boundedness of \(\{x_n\}\). Theorem 1: Let \(E\) be a real uniformly smooth Banach space. Let \(A: D(A)= E\to 2^E\) be an accretive operator that satisfies the range condition and \(A^{-1}(0)\neq\emptyset\). Suppose that \(\{\lambda_n\}\) and \(\{\theta_n\}\) are real sequences in \((0,1]\) satisfying the following conditions: (i) \(\lim_{n\to\infty}\theta_n= 0\); (ii) \(\sum^\infty_{n=1} \lambda_n\theta_n= \infty\), \(\lim_{n\to\infty} {b(\lambda_n)\over \theta_n}= 0;\) (iii) \(\lim_{n\to\infty} {\theta_{n-1}/\theta_n- 1\over \lambda_n\theta_n}= 0\). Let \(z\in E\) arbitrary and the sequence \(\{x_n\}\) be generated from \(x_0\in E\) by \(x_{n+1}= x_n- \lambda_n(x_n- z))\), \(u_n\in Ax_n\), for all positive integers \(n\). Suppose that \(\{u_n\}\) is bounded. Then there exists \(d> 0\) such that, whenever \(\lambda_n\leq d\) and \(b(\lambda_n)/\theta_n\leq d^2\) for all \(n\geq 0\), \(\{x_n\}\) converges strongly to a zero of \(A\). As a consequence of this result, they also prove the following theorem. Theorem 2: Let \(K\) be a closed convex subset of a real uniformly smooth Banach space \(E\). Let \(T: K\to K\) be a bounded continuous pseudocontractive map with \(F(T)\neq\emptyset\). Let \(\{\lambda_n\}\) and \(\{\theta_n\}\) be real squences satisfying \hskip17mm (i) \(\lim_{n\to\infty}\theta_n= 0\); \hskip17mm (ii) \(\sum^\infty_{n=1}\lambda_n\theta_n= \infty\), \(\lambda_n(1+ \theta_n)\leq 1\), \(\lim_{n\to\infty} {b(\lambda_n)\over \theta_n}= 0\); \hskip17mm (iii) \(\lim_{n\to\infty} {\theta_{n-1}/\theta_n- 1\over \lambda_n\theta_n}= 0\). Let \(z\in K\) arbitrary and the sequence \(\{x_n\}\) be generated from \(x_0\in K\) by \(x_{n+1}= x_n- \lambda_n((I- T)x_n+ \theta_n(x_n- z))\) for all positive integers \(n\). Then there exists \(d> 0\) such that, whenever \(\lambda_n\leq d\) and \(b(\lambda_n)/\theta_n\leq d^2\) for all \(n\geq 0\), \(\{x_n\}\) converges strongly to a fixed point of \(T\). This theorem extends the class of Lipschitzian pseudocontractive maps to the class of bounded continuous pseudocontractive maps, which generalizes results of \textit{C. E. Chidume} [Proc. Am. Math. Soc. 129, 2245--2251 (2001; Zbl 0979.47038)].
