This paper deals with a method for approximating a solution of the following problem: find hierarchically a common fixed point of a finite family of nonself nonexpansive mappings with respect to a nonexpansive self mapping on a closed convex subset of a smooth and reflexive Banach space X, which admits a weakly sequentially continuous duality mapping. First, we prove a weak convergence theorem which extends and improves one recent result proved by Yao and Liou (see Inverse Problems 24 (), doi:). Secondly, when the self mapping is a contraction, we prove, under different restrictions on parameters, a strong convergence result which generalize some recent results in the literature.

This paper studies a general vector optimization problem of finding weakly efficient points for mappings from Hilbert spaces to arbitrary Banach spaces, where the latter are partially ordered by some closed, convex, and pointed cones with nonempty interiors. To find solutions of this vector optimization problem, we introduce an auxiliary variational inequality problem for a monotone and Lipschitz continuous mapping. The approximate proximal method in vector optimization is extended to develop a hybrid approximate proximal method for the general vector optimization problem under consideration by combining an extragradient method to find a solution of the variational inequality problem and an approximate proximal point method for finding a root of a maximal monotone operator. In this hybrid approximate proximal method, the subproblems consist of finding approximate solutions to the variational inequality problem for monotone and Lipschitz continuous mapping, and then finding weakly efficient points for a suitable regularization of the original mapping. We present both absolute and relative versions of our hybrid algorithm in which the subproblems are solved only approximately. The weak convergence of the generated sequence to a weak efficient point is established under quite mild assumptions. In addition, we develop some extensions of our hybrid algorithms for vector optimization by using Bregman-type functions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Recently, O’Hara, Pillay and Xu (Nonlinear Anal. 54, 1417–1426, ) considered an iterative approach to finding a nearest common fixed point of infinitely many nonexpansive mappings in a Hilbert space. Very recently, Takahashi and Takahashi (J. Math. Anal. Appl. 331, 506–515, ) introduced an iterative scheme by the viscosity approximation method for finding a common element of the set of solutions of an equilibrium problem and the set of fixed points of a nonexpansive mapping in a Hilbert space. In this paper, motivated by these authors’ iterative schemes, we introduce a new iterative approach to finding a common element of the set of solutions of an equilibrium problem and the set of common fixed points of infinitely many nonexpansive mappings in a Hilbert space. The main result of this work is a strong convergence theorem which improves and extends results from the above mentioned papers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The purpose of this paper is to introduce and study two hybrid proximal-point algorithms for finding a common element of the set of solutions of an equilibrium problem and the set of solutions to the equation 0∈ Tx for a maximal monotone operator T in a uniformly smooth and uniformly convex Banach space X. Strong and weak convergence results of these two hybrid proximal-point algorithms are established, respectively. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

We propose a relaxed composite implicit iteration process for finding approximate common fixed points of a finite family of strictly pseudocontractive mappings in Banach spaces. Several convergence results for this process are established. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Let C be a nonempty closed convex subset of a Banach space E with the dual E*, let T : C → E* be a continuous mapping, and let S : C → C be a relatively nonexpansive mapping. In this paper, by employing the notion of generalized projection operator we study the variational inequality (for short, VI(T - f,C)): find x ϵ C such that ⩾ 0 for all y ϵ C, where f ϵ E* is a given element. By combining the approximate proximal point scheme both with the modified Ishikawa iteration and with the modified Halpern iteration for relatively nonexpansive mappings, respectively, we propose two modified versions of the approximate proximal point scheme L. C. Ceng and J. C. Yao (2008) for finding approximate solutions of the VI(T - f,C). Moreover, it is proven that these iterative algorithms converge strongly to the same solution of the VI(T - f,C), which is also a fixed point of S. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

We introduce an implicit iteration scheme with a perturbed mapping for finding a common element of the set of solutions of an equilibrium problem and the set of common fixed points of finitely many nonexpansive mappings in a Hilbert space. Then, we establish some convergence theorems for this implicit iteration scheme which are connected with results by Xu and Ori (Numer. Funct. Analysis Optim. 22:767–772, ), Zeng and Yao (Nonlinear Analysis, Theory, Methods Appl. 64:2507–2515, ) and Takahashi and Takahashi (J. Math. Analysis Appl. 331:506–515, ). In particular, necessary and sufficient conditions for strong convergence of this implicit iteration scheme are obtained. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

By means of generalized KKM theory, we prove a result on the existence of solutions and we establish general variational principles, that is, vector optimization formulations of set-valued maps for vector generalized systems. A perturbation function is involved in general variational principles. We extend the theory of gap functions for vector variational inequalities to vector generalized systems and we prove that the solution sets of the related vector optimization problems of set-valued maps contain the solution sets of vector generalized systems. A further vector optimization problem is defined in such a way that its solution set coincides with the solution set of a weak vector generalized system. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, we consider a generalized vector variational-like inequality problem (for short, GVVLIP), which includes generalized vector variational inequalities, vector variational inequalities and classical variational inequalities as special cases. The concepts of generalized C-pseudomonotone-like and generalized H-hemicontinuous-like operators are introduced. Some existence results for GVVLIP are obtained under the assumptions of generalized C-pseudomonotone-like property and generalized H-hemicontinuous-like property. These results appear to be new and interesting. New existence results of the classical variational inequality are also obtained. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article presents a discussion that looks into the wide class of inexact proximal-type methods for handling the generalized variational inequality problem with maximal monotone operator in a reflexive Banach space. An extension of Kamimura and Takahashi's algorithm is also provided with the aim of developing a generic inexact proximal point algorithm. A convergence analysis which unifies a broad class of proximal-type methods associated with finding Hilbert spaces or Banach spaces is also included.
