A mean ergodic theorem for nonlinear semigroups which are asymptotically nonexpansive in the intermediate sense (Q1577966)

Let \(X\) be a uniformly convex real Banach space, \(C\) a nonempty bounded closed convex subset of \(X\). If the inequality \[ \limsup_{t\to\infty} \sup_{x,y\in C}(\|T(t)x- T(t)y\|-\|x-y\|)\leq 0, \] holds, then the \(C_0\)-semigroup \(\{T(t)\}_{t\geq 0}\) of (nonlinear) selfmappings of \(C\) is called ``asymptotically nonexpansive in the intermediate sense''. One says that a function \(u: [0,\infty)\to C\) is an ``almost orbit'' of \(\{T(t)\}_{t\geq 0}\) if \[ \lim_{s\to \infty} \Biggl(\sup_{t\in [0,\infty)}\|u(t+ s)- T(t) u(s)\|\Biggr)= 0. \] A long part of the paper is devoted to proving that if \(X^*\) has the Kadec-Klee property and \(\{T(t)\}_{t\geq 0}\) is asymptotically nonexpansive in the intermediate sense, then every continuous almost orbit \(u\) of \(\{T(t)\}_{t\geq 0}\) is weakly almost convergent to some \(y\in \text{Fix}(T)\) (the set of common fixed points of \(T(t)\)), i.e. \(w\)-\(\lim_{t\to\infty} {1\over t} \int^t_0 u(h+\tau) d\tau= y\) uniformly in \(h\geq 0\).
