Strong convergence of viscosity approximation methods for nonexpansive mappings in \(\text{CAT}(0)\) spaces (Q442923)

Summary: Viscosity approximation methods for nonexpansive mappings in \(\text{CAT}(0)\) spaces are studied. Consider a nonexpansive self-mapping \(T\) of a closed convex subset \(C\) of a \(\text{CAT}(0)\) space \(X\). Suppose that the set \(\operatorname{Fix}(T)\) of fixed points of \(T\) is nonempty. For a contraction \(f\) on \(C\) and \(t \in (0, 1)\), let \(x_t \in C\) be the unique fixed point of the contraction \(x \mapsto tf(x) \oplus (1 - t) Tx\). We show that, if \(X\) is a \(\text{CAT}(0)\) space satisfying some property, then \(\{x_t\}\) converges strongly to a fixed point of \(T\) which solves some variational inequality. Consider also the iteration process \(\{x_n\}\), where \(x_0 \in C\) is arbitrary and \(x_{n+1} = \alpha_n f(x_n) \oplus (1 - \alpha_n) Tx_n\) for \(n \geq 1\), with \(\{\alpha_n\} \subset (0, 1)\). It is shown, under certain appropriate conditions on \(\alpha_n\), that \(\{x_n\}\) converges strongly to a fixed point of \(T\) which solves some variational inequality.
