Iterative algorithm for multi-valued pseudocontractive mappings in Banach spaces (Q2637932)

In 1967, \textit{F.\,E.\thinspace Browder} [Arch.\ Ration.\ Mech.\ Anal.\ 24 82--90 (1967; Zbl 0148.13601)] established the following important theorem: Theorem B. Let \(D\) be a bounded closed convex subset of a real Hilbert space \(H\) and \(T\) a nonexpansive self-mapping of \(D\). Let \(\{ t_n \}\) be a sequence in \((0,1)\) converging to 1. Fix \(u \in D\) and define a sequence \(\{ x_n \}\) in \(D\) by \[ x_n = t_n T x_n + (1 - t_n)u, \quad n \in\mathbb N. \] Then \(\{x_n\}\) converges strongly to the element of \(F(T)\) nearest to \(u\). The main purpose of the paper under review is to answer the question: is Browder's theorem valid for the class of multi-valued Lipschitz pseudocontractive mappings in Banach spaces more general than Hilbert spaces? The main result of the paper offers an affirmative answer to this question. Theorem 3.3. Let \(D\) be an open nonempty convex subset of a real Banach space \(E\), let \(T : \overline{D} \rightarrow CB(E)\) be a continuous (relative to the Hausdorff metric) pseudocontractive mapping satisfying a weakly inward condition and let \(u \in \overline{D}\) be fixed. Then, for each \(t \in (0,1)\), there exists \(y_t \in \overline{D}\) satisfying \(y_t \in tT y_t + (1 - t)u\). If, in addition, \(E\) is reflexive and has a uniformly Gâteaux differentiable norm, and is such that every closed convex bounded subset of \(\overline{D}\) has the fixed point property for nonexpansive self mappings, then \(T\) has a fixed point if and only if \(\{ y_t \}\) remains bounded as \(t \rightarrow 1\); moreover, in this case, \(\{ y_t \}\) converges strongly to a fixed point of \(T\) as \(t \rightarrow 1-\).
