In 1967 Browder proved: Let \(C\) be a nonempty closed convex subset of a Hilbert space and \(T: C\to C\) be a nonexpansive mapping such that the set \(F(T)\) of fixed points of \(T\) is nonempty. Let \(x\) be in \(C\) and for each \(t\), \(0< t< 1\), let \(x_t\) be the unique fixed point of \(C\) satisfying \[ x_t= tx+ (1-t) Tx_t. \] Then \(\{x_t\}\) converges strongly to an element of \(F(T)\) which is nearest to \(x\) in \(F(T)\) as \(t\to 0\). Since then many authors, including the present authors, have generalized this result in different directions. In this paper the authors have studied strong convergence theorems for an asymptotically nonexpansive semigroup on a Banach space by the use of a sequence of means which has been developed in the study of nonlinear ergodic theorems. Many interesting results obtained in this paper generalize several known results.
