We introduce a new iterative algorithm for a system of generalized equilibrium problems and
a countable family of strict pseudocontractions in Hilbert spaces We then prove that the sequence generated by the proposed algorithm converges strongly to a common element in the solutions set
of a system of generalized equilibrium problems and the common fixed points set of an infinitely countable family of strict pseudocontractions
1 Introduction
Let H be a real Hilbert space with the inner product ·, · and inducted norm · Let C
be a nonempty, closed, and convex subset of H Let {f k}k∈Λ : C × C → Ê be a family of bifunctions, and let{A k}k∈Λ : C → H be a family of nonlinear mappings, where Λ is an
arbitrary index set The system of generalized equilibrium problems is to findx ∈ C such that
f k
x, yA k x, y − x≥ 0, ∀y ∈ C, k ∈ Λ. 1.1
IfΛ is a singleton, then 1.1 reduces to find x ∈ C such that
f
x, yA x, y − x
The solutions set of 1.2 is denoted by GEPf, A If f ≡ 0, then the solutions set of 1.2
is denoted by VIC, A, and if A ≡ 0, then the solutions set of 1.2 is denoted by EPf.
Trang 22 Fixed Point Theory and Applications The problem1.2 is very general in the sense that it includes, as special cases, optimization problems, variational inequalities, minimax problems, and the Nash equilibrium problem
in noncooperative games; see also1,2 Some methods have been constructed to solve the system of equilibrium problemssee, e.g., 3 7 Recall that a mapping A : C → H is
said to be
1 monotone if
Ax − Ay, x − y
2 α-inverse-strongly monotone if there exists a constant α > 0 such that
Ax − Ay, x − y
≥ αAx − Ay2
It is easy to see that if A is α-inverse-strongly monotone, then A is monotone and 1/α-Lipschitz.
For solving the equilibrium problem, let us assume that f satisfies the following
conditions:
A1 fx, x 0 for all x ∈ C,
A2 f is monotone, that is, fx, y fy, x ≤ 0 for all x, y ∈ C,
A3 for each x, y, z ∈ C, lim t → 0 ftz 1 − tx, y ≤ fx, y,
A4 for each x ∈ C, y → fx, y is convex and lower semicontinuous.
Throughout this paper, we denote the fixed points set of a nonlinear mapping
T : C → C by FT {x ∈ C : Tx x} Recall that T is said to be a κ-strict pseudocontraction if
there exists a constant 0≤ κ < 1 such that
Tx − Ty2 ≤x − y2 κI − Tx − I − Ty2
It is well known that1.5 is equivalent to
Tx − Ty, x − y
≤x − y2−1− κ
2 I − Tx − I − Ty2
It is worth mentioning that the class of strict pseudocontractions includes properly the
class of nonexpansive mappings It is also known that every κ-strict pseudocontraction is
1 κ/1 − κ-Lipschitz; see 8
In 1953, Mann9 introduced the iteration as follows: a sequence {x n} defined by
x0∈ C and
where{α n}∞n0 ⊂ 0, 1 If S is a nonexpansive mapping with a fixed point and the control
sequence {α n}∞
n0 is chosen so that∞
n0 α n 1 − α n ∞, then the sequence {x n} defined
Trang 3by 1.7 converges weakly to a fixed point of S this is also valid in a uniformly convex
Banach space with the Fr´echet differentiable norm 10
In 1967, Browder and Petryshyn11 introduced the class of strict pseudocontractions and proved existence and weak convergence theorems in a real Hilbert setting by using Mann iterative algorithm1.7 with a constant sequence α n α for all n ≥ 0 Recently, Marino
and Xu8 and Zhou 12 extended the results of Browder and Petryshyn 11 to Mann’s iteration process1.7 Since 1967, the construction of fixed points for pseudocontractions via the iterative process has been extensively investigated by many authorssee, e.g., 13–22
Let C be a nonempty, closed, and convex subset of a real Hilbert space H Let
S : C → C be a nonexpansive mapping, f : C × C → Êa bifunction, and let A : C → H be
an inverse-strongly monotone mapping
In 2008, Moudafi23 introduced an iterative method for approximating a common
element of the fixed points set of a nonexpansive mapping S and the solutions set of a
generalized equilibrium problem GEPf, A as follows: a sequence {xn } defined by x0 ∈ C
and
f
y n , y
Ax n , y − y n

r n
y − y n , y n − x n
≥ 0, ∀y ∈ C,
x n1 α n x n 1 − α n Sy n , n ≥ 1,
1.8
where{α n}∞n0 ⊂ 0, 1 and {r n}∞n0 ⊂ 0, ∞ He proved that the sequence {x n} generated by
1.8 converges weakly to an element in GEPf, A ∩ FS under suitable conditions.
Due to the weak convergence, recently, S Takahashi and W Takahashi24 introduced another modification iterative method of 1.8 for finding a common element of the fixed points set of a nonexpansive mapping and the solutions set of a generalized equilibrium problem in the framework of a real Hilbert space To be more precise, they proved the following theorem
Theorem 1.1 see 24 Let C be a closed convex subset of a real Hilbert space H, and let
f : C × C → Ê be a bifunction satisfying (A1)–(A4) Let A be an α-inverse-strongly monotone mapping of C into H, and let S be a nonexpansive mapping of C into itself such that FS ∩
GEPf, A / ∅ Let u ∈ C and x1∈ C, and let {y n } ⊂ C and {x n } ⊂ C be sequences generated by
f
y n , y
Ax n , y − y n

r n
y − y n , y n − x n
≥ 0, ∀y ∈ C,
x n1 β n x n1− β n

α n u 1 − α n y n , n ≥ 1,
1.9
where {α n}∞n1 ⊂ 0, 1, {β n}∞n1 ⊂ 0, 1 and {r n}∞n1 ⊂ 0, 2α satisfy
i limn → ∞ α n 0 and∞
n1 α n ∞,
ii 0 < c ≤ β n ≤ d < 1,
iii 0 < a ≤ r n ≤ b < 2α,
iv limn → ∞ r n − r n1 0.
Then, {x n } converges strongly to z P FS ∩ GEPf,A u.
Trang 44 Fixed Point Theory and Applications Recently, Yao et al.25 introduced a new modified Mann iterative algorithm which is different from those in the literature for a nonexpansive mapping in a real Hilbert space To
be more precise, they proved the following theorem
Theorem 1.2 see 25 Let C be a nonempty, closed, and convex subset of a real Hilbert space H.
Let S : C → C be a nonexpansive mapping such that FS / ∅ Let {α n}∞
n0 , and let {β n}∞
n0 be two real sequences in 0, 1 For given x0 ∈ C arbitrarily, let the sequence {x n }, n ≥ 0, be generated
iteratively by
y n P C 1 − α n x n ,
x n11− β n
Suppose that the following conditions are satisfied:
i limn → ∞ α n 0 and∞n0 α n ∞,
ii 0 < lim inf n → ∞ β n≤ lim supn → ∞ β n < 1,
then, the sequence {x n } generated by 1.10 strongly converges to a fixed point of S.
We know the following crucial lemmas concerning the equilibrium problem in Hilbert spaces
Lemma 1.3 see 1 Let C be a nonempty, closed, and convex subset of a real Hilbert space H, let f
be a bifunction from C × C toÊsatisfying (A1)–(A4) Let r > 0 and x ∈ H Then, there exists z ∈ C such that
f

Lemma 1.4 see 26 Let C be a nonempty, closed, and convex subset of a real Hilbert space H Let
f be a bifunction from C × C toÊ satisfying (A1)–(A4) For x ∈ H and r > 0, define the mapping
T r f : H → 2 C as follows:
T r f x
z ∈ C : f

Then, the following statements hold:
1 T f

2 T f
r is firmly nonexpansive, that is, for any x, y ∈ H,
T r f x − T r f y2

Motivated and inspired by Marino and Xu 8, Moudafi 23, S Takahashi and W Takahashi24, and Yao et al 25, we consider the following iteration: x1∈ C and
y n P C 1 − α n x n ,

1.14
where{α n}∞n1 ⊂ 0, 1, {β n}∞n1 ⊂ 0, 1 and γ ∈ 0, 1.
In this paper, we first prove a path convergence result for a nonexpansive mapping and a system of generalized equilibrium problems Then, we prove a strong convergence theorem of the iteration process1.14 for a system of generalized equilibrium problems and
a countable family of strict pseudocontractions in a real Hilbert space Our results extend the main results obtained by Yao et al.25 in several aspects
2 Preliminaries
Let C be a nonempty, closed, and convex subset of a real Hilbert space H For each x ∈ H, there exists a unique nearest point in C, denoted by P C x, such that x −P C x min y∈C x−y.
P C is called the metric projection of H onto C It is also known that for x ∈ H and z ∈ C,
z P C x is equivalent to x − z, y − z ≤ 0 for all y ∈ C Furthermore,
y − P C x2
x − P C x2≤x − y2
for all x ∈ H, y ∈ C In a real Hilbert space, we also know that
λx 1 − λy2
λx2 1 − λy2
− λ1 − λx − y2
for all x, y ∈ H and λ ∈ 0, 1.
In the sequel, we need the following lemmas
Lemma 2.1 see 27,28 Let E be a real uniformly convex Banach space, and let C be a nonempty,
closed, and convex subset of E, and let S : C → C be a nonexpansive mapping such that FS / ∅,
then I − S is demiclosed at zero.
Lemma 2.2 see 29 Let {x n } and {z n } be two sequences in a Banach space E such that
x n1 β n x n1− β n
z n , n ≥ 1, 2.3
Trang 66 Fixed Point Theory and Applications
where {β n}∞n1 satisfies conditions: 0 < lim inf n → ∞ β n≤ lim supn → ∞ β n < 1 If lim sup n → ∞ z n1−
z n − x n1 − x n ≤ 0, then x n − z n → 0 as n → ∞.
Lemma 2.3 see 30 Assume that {a n}∞n1 is a sequence of nonnegative real numbers such that
a n1≤1− γ n
a n γ n δ n , n ≥ 1, 2.4
where {γ n}∞n1 is a sequence in 0, 1 and {δ n}∞n1 is a sequence inÊsuch that
a∞n1 γ n ∞; b lim sup n → ∞ δ n ≤ 0 or∞n1 |γ n δ n | < ∞.
Then, lim n → ∞ a n 0.
Lemma 2.4 see 31 Let C be a nonempty, closed, and convex subset of a real Hilbert space H Let
the mapping A : C → H be α-inverse-strongly monotone, and let r > 0 be a constant Then, we have
I − rAx −I − rAy2≤x − y2
rr − 2αAx − Ay2
for all x, y ∈ C In particular, if 0 ≤ r ≤ 2α, then I − rA is nonexpansive.
To deal with a family of mappings, the following conditions are introduced: let C
be a subset of a real Hilbert space H, and let {T n}∞n1 be a family of mappings of C such
that∞

a family of mappings of C into itself which satisfies the AKTT-condition Then, for each x ∈ C, {T n x} converges strongly to a point in C Moreover, let the mapping T be defined by
Tx lim
Then, for each bounded subset B of C,
lim sup

3 Path Convergence Results
Let C be a nonempty, closed, and convex subset of a real Hilbert space H Let S : C → C be
a nonexpansive mapping Let{f k}M
k1 : C × C → Ê be a family of bifunctions, let{A k}M
k1 :
C → H be a family of α k -inverse-strongly monotone mappings, and let r k ∈ 0, 2α k For each
k ∈ {1, 2, , M}, we denote the mapping T f k ,A k
r k : C → C by
T f k ,A k
r k : Tf k
where T f k
r k is the mapping defined as inLemma 1.4 For each t ∈ 0, 1, we define the mapping
S t : C → C as follows:
S t x ST f M ,A M
r M T f M−1 ,A M−1
r M−1 · · · T f1,A1
By Lemmas 1.42 and 2.4, we know that T f k
r k and I − r k A k are nonexpansive for each
k ∈ {1, 2, , M} So, the mapping T f k ,A k
r is also nonexpansive for each k ∈ {1, 2, , M}.

Moreover, we can check easily that S tis a contraction Then, the Banach contraction principle

n1 FT n / ∅ For each t ∈ 0, 1, let the net {x t } be generated by
3.3 Then, as t → 0, the net {x t } converges strongly to an element in F.
Proof First, we show that {x t } is bounded For each t ∈ 0, 1, let y t P C 1 − tx t and

x t − p Su t − Sp ≤ u t − p ≤ y t − p ≤ 1 − tx t − p tp. 3.4
It follows that
Hence,{x t } is bounded and so are {y t } and {u t} Observe that
as t → 0 since {x t} is bounded
