We study in this paper the existence and the approximation of solutions of variational inequalities involving generalized pseudocontractive mappings in Banach spaces. The convergence analysis of a proposed hybrid iterative method for approximating common zeros or fixed points of a possibly infinitely countable or uncountable family of such operators will be conducted within the conceptual framework of the "viscosity approximation technique" in reflexive Banach spaces with uniform Gâteaux differentiable norms. This technique should make existing or new results in solving variational inequalities more applicable. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The hybrid steepest-descent method introduced by Yamada (2001) is an algorithmic solution to the variational inequality problem over the fixed point set of nonlinear mapping and applicable to a broad range of convexly constrained nonlinear inverse problems in real Hilbert spaces. Lehdili and Moudafi (1996) introduced the new prox-Tikhonov regularization method for proximal point algorithm to generate a strongly convergent sequence and established a convergence property for it by using the technique of variational distance in Hilbert spaces. In this paper, motivated by Yamada's hybrid steepest-descent and Lehdili and Moudafi's algorithms, a generalized hybrid steepest-descent algorithm for computing the solutions of the variational inequality problem over the common fixed point set of sequence of nonexpansive-type mappings in the framework of Banach space is proposed. The strong convergence for the proposed algorithm to the solution is guaranteed under some assumptions. Our strong convergence theorems extend and improve certain corresponding results in the recent literature. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
