Approximating fixed points of enriched contractions in Banach spaces (Q2307317)

The authors introduce a class of mappings called enriched contractions. This class of mappings includes the contractive type mappings, the Picard-Banach contractions, some nonexpansive mappings, and other important nonlinear mappings. They establish the existence and uniqueness of fixed points for this class of mappings and construct a Kransnoselskij iterative process to approximate the fixed points of these mappings. The authors show that the sequence generated by their method converges strongly to the fixed point of an enriched contraction (Theorem 2.4). The authors further extend their main results to the case of asymptotic enriched Banach contractions and consider a local variant of the Picard-Banach fixed point theorem (Section~3). Some examples are presented to illustrate the generality of their results.
