Viscosity approximation methods for resolvents of accretive operators in Banach spaces (Q998028)

Let \(E\) be a real Banach space, \(A\subset E\times E\) be an accretive operator with domain \(D(A)=\{z\in E:A z\neq \emptyset\}\) and range \(R(A)=\cup\{A z:z\in D(A)\}\), and let \(I\) denote the identity operator on \(E\). Then \(J_r:R(I+rA)\rightarrow D(A),\,J_r=(I+rA)^{-1}\), which is known to be a well-defined nonexpansive single-valued mapping for each \(r>0\), is called the resolvent of \(A\). A sequence \(\{x_n\}\subset E\) given by \(x_1=x\in E\) and \(x_{n+1}=J_{r_n}x_n\), for all \(n\geq 0\), where \(\{r_n\}\subset (0,\infty)\), is called proximal point algorithm. If \(T: E\rightarrow E\) is a single-valued mapping and \(f:E\rightarrow E\) is a given contraction, then the fixed point iterative iteration \(x_{n+1}=\alpha_n f(x_n)+(1-\alpha)Tx_n,\;n\geq 0\), where \(\{\alpha_n\}\subset [0,1]\) is a sequence of real numbers, is usually called of viscosity type. In the present paper, the author proves convergence theorems for proximal point algorithms of viscosity type considered for approximating zeros of accretive operators and, respectively, fixed points of nonexpansive mappings.
