1. Introduction
Let
be a real Hilbert space with norm
and inner product
Let
be a closed convex set, and consider the self-mapping
Throughout this paper the set of all fixed points of G in
D is denoted by
The mapping G is said to be
- (a)
- (b)
quasi-nonexpansive if
and
- (c)
β-demicontractive if
and there exists a positive number
such that
for all
and
.
- (d)
strongly quasi-nonexpansive if G is quasi-nonexpansive and whenever is a bounded sequence such that for some
By the previous definitions, it is obvious that any nonexpansive mapping G with is quasi-nonexpansive, any strongly quasi-nonexpansive is quasi-nonexpansive, and that any quasi-nonexpansive mapping is demicontractive, too, but the reverses are no more true, as illustrated by the next example.
Example 1 ([
4]).
Let be the real line with the usual norm and Define F on D as
Then F is -demicontractive but F is neither nonexpansive nor quasi-nonexpasive (and hence not strongly quasi-nonexpansive).
There are several papers in literature which are devoted to the approximation of common fixed points of nonexpansive type mappings. For example, in order to approximate the common fixed points of a pair of nonexpansive self mappings
with
, Takahashi and Tamura [
21] considered the following iterative procedure:
for which they established a weak convergence theorem.
Moudafi [
15] considered a slightly different Krasnoselsij-Mann iterative procedure for the same problem, that he called "hierarchical fixed-point problem":
where
and
are assumed to be nonempty.
Further, Iemoto and Takahashi [
21] considered the problem of approximating the common fixed points of a nonexpansive mapping
T and of a nonspreading mappings
S in a Hilbert space, and utilized the iterative scheme
for which they formulated and proved some weak convergence theorems.
Starting from this background, our aim in this paper is to solve the common fixed point problem in the setting of Hilbert spaces for the case of the larger class of demicontractive mappings, thus extending and unifying the main results in Cianciaruso et al. [
7], Falset et al. [
8], Iemoto and Takahashi [
9] and many others.
Our main result (Theorem 1) provides a convergence theorem for an averaged iterative Halpern type algorithm used to approximate a solution of the common fixed point problem for a pair consisting of a nonexpansive mapping and a demicontractive mapping, which also solves a certain variational inequality problem.
2. Preliminaries
We recall some important lemmas used in the proofs of our main results. The following two lemmas are taken from Berinde [
3].
Lemma 1. [
3]
Let be a real Hilbert space and a closed and convex set. If is β-demicontractive, then the Krasnoselskij perturbation of G is -demicontractive.
Lemma 2. [
3]
Let be a real Hilbert space and a closed and convex set. If is β-demicontractive, then for any
is quasi-nonexpansive.
Lemma 3 (Zhou [
30]).
Let C be a nonempty subset of a real Hilbert space and let be a k-strictly pseudocontractive mapping. Then the averaged mapping is nonexpansive for any .
Lemma 4. Let be a real Hilbert space, a closed and convex set and a mapping. Then, for any we have
Lemma 5. [
24]
Let be a sequence of nonnegative numbers such that
where is a sequence in and is a sequence in such that
Then
Lemma 6.
Let be a sequence of real numbers that has a subsequence which satisfies for all There exists an increasing sequence of integers satisfying:
3. Fixed Points and Variational Inequalities
In this section we state and prove our main results. To do this, we first consider the following property.
A mapping
G satisfies
Condition A if
whenever

for some
and
Theorem 1.
Let be a Hilbert space and C be a closed convex subset of Let be a nonexpansive mapping and be a β-demicontractive mapping satisfying Condition A such that is demiclosed at Assume that Let and be sequences in such that and Let be the sequence generated in the following manner:

i.e.
Proof. Since
G is a
-demicontractive mapping, by Lemma 2 it follows that the averaged mapping
is quasi-nonexpansive, for
Clearly,

G satisfies Condition A. Now we can write

Case (II) 1. There exists

Hence,
From the strong quasi-nonexpansiveness of
, we conclude that
The rest of the proof is similar to the proof of (I).
Case (II) 2. The sequence
is not eventually not increasing. There exists a subsequence
such that
for all
By Lemma 6, there exists an increasing sequence of integers
satisfying
Thus,
Using (
16) with
instead of

by (
19) we obtain
From (
17), we obtain that
.
To prove (III), let
be the unique point in

11). We have
Similar to (II), we have two cases.
Case (III) 1. is eventually not increasing. There exists

Since both
F and

24), (
25), one can conclude that
Hence, by the definition of

26). Furthermore, from (
24) and (
25) we have
Finally
Putting
the conclusion follows from Lemma 5.
Case (III) 2. The sequence is not eventually not increasing, i.e., there exists a subsequence such that
Lemma 6 implies that there exists an increasing sequence of integers
satisfying (
17). Therefore
We obtain
Now, using (
24) with
instead of
we have
and (
20) can be written as
From (
27) and since
We also obtain that
By (
28) and (
29), we have that
Similar to (
26) changing

we have
Following the same proof of (
26), replacing
p with

Now we compute,
Consequently,
dividing by
we get
Taking the limsup and recalling the hypothesis (
30) and (
31), we obtain
Now by (
17), we conclude that
□
A more general result could be proved similarly to the proof of Theorem 1.
Theorem 2.
Let be a Hilbert space and C be a closed convex subset of Let be a k-strictly pseudocontractive mapping and be a β-demicontractive mapping satisfying Condition A such that is demiclosed at Assume that Let and be sequences in such that and Let be a sequence generated in the following manner:
where , with .

-
If then converges strongly to that is the unique point in that solves the variational inequality
i.e. .
- (III)
-
If then strongly converges to that is the unique solution of the variational inequality
i.e.
Proof. As
F is
k-strictly pseudocontractive, by Lemma 3 we have that the averaged mapping
is nonexpansive, for any
and that
. We apply Theorem 1 for
and
G and get the conclusion. □
Remark 1. Most of the results obtained in Takahashi and Tamura [21], Moudafi [15], Cianciaruso et al. [7], Falset et al. [8], Iemoto and Takahashi [9] could be obtained as corollaries of our main results or could be slightly improved by considering our averaged Halpern type algorithm (8).
We illustrate this fact in the following for four different instances.
If F is nonexpansive and G is nonspreading, then by Theorem 1 we obtain an improvement of Theorem 4.1 in Iemoto and Takahashi [9], in the sense that for our averaged Halpern type algorithm (8) we have strong convergence, while for the Krasnoselsij-Mann iterative procedure (5) only weak convergence was obtained by Iemoto and Takahashi [9];
If F is nonexpansive and G is nonspreading, then by Theorem 1 we obtain the main result (i.e., Theorem 14) in Cianciaruso et al. [7];
If F and G are both nonexpansive, then by Theorem 1 we obtain an improvement of the main result in Takahashi and Tamura [21], in the sense that for our averaged Halpern type algorithm (8) we get strong convergence, while for the Krasnoselsij-Mann iterative procedure (5) only weak convergence is obtained by Takahashi and Tamura [21];
If F is nonexpansive and G is strongly quasi-nonexpansive, then by Theorem 1 we obtain the main result (i.e., Theorem 3) in Falset et al. [8];
...
4. Numerical Illustrations
In this section, we consider some numerical examples to illustrate the numerical behaviour of Algorithm (
8), for approximating a common fixed point for a nonexpansive mapping and a
-demicontractive mapping.
Example 2.
Let be the real line with the usual norm and Define F and G on D as follows as
and
Note that F is nonexpansive, and G is -demicontractive. It is easy to check that The mapping G is neither quasi-nonexpasive nor nonexpansive (and hence it is neither strongly quasi-nonexpansive nor nonspeading).
Therefore, we cannot apply any of the results in Takahashi and Tamura [21], Moudafi [15], Cianciaruso et al. [7], Falset et al. [8], Iemoto and Takahashi [9] etc. to solve the common fixed point problem for F and G.
If we put
then all assumptions in Theorem 1 part (iii) are satisfied. This implies that the sequence generated by the algorithm (8) converges to , the unique common fixed point of F and G.
Several numerical experiments were conducted in MATLAB using the algorithm(
8)
with different values of the parameters.
The numerical results for three initial values with are presented in Table 1.
Table 2 shows numerical results for three initial values with and One can see that for x near the common fixed point and r large, the iterations converge faster.
5. Conclusions
We have introduced an averaged iterative Halpern type algorithm intended to find a common fixed point for a pair consisting of a nonexpansive mapping and a demicontractive mapping which also solves a certain variational inequality problem;
We established a strong convergence theorem (Theorem 1) for the sequence generated by our algorithm;
We extended Theorem 1 to the more general case of a pair of mappings consisting of a
k-strictly pseudocontractive mapping
F and a
-demicontractive mapping
G (Theorem 2), by considering the double averaged Halpern type algorithm (
32).
We validated the effectiveness of our general theoretical results by some appropriate numerical experiments, corresponding to part (iii) of Theorem 1, which are reported in
Section 4. These results clearly illustrate the progress of our convergence results over existing literature.
