We introduce an iterative algorithm for finding a common element of the set of solutions of aninfinite family of equilibrium problems and the set of fixed points of a finite family of nonexpansivemappings in a Hilbert space We prove some strong convergence theorems for the proposediterative scheme to a fixed point of the family of nonexpansive mappings, which is the uniquesolution of a variational inequality As an application, we use the result of this paper to solve amultiobjective optimization problem Our result extends and improves the ones of Colao et al
2008 and some others
1 Introduction
Let H be a real Hilbert space and T be a mapping of H into itself T is said to be nonexpansive
if
If there exists a point u ∈ H such that Tu u, then the point u is called a fixed point of T The set of fixed points of T is denoted by FT It is well known that FT is closed convex and also nonempty if T has a bounded trajectorysee 1
Trang 2Let f : H → H be a mapping If there exists a constant 0 ≤ κ < 1 such that
then f is called a contraction with the constant κ Recall that an operator A : H → H is called
to be strongly positive with coefficient γ > 0 if
Recently, Marino and Xu3 introduced a new iterative scheme from an arbitrary point
x0∈ H by the viscosity approximation method as follows:
Trang 3Let{Tn} N
n1be a finite family of nonexpansive mappings of H into itself In 2007, Yao

Then he proved that the iterative scheme1.10 strongly converges to the unique solution x∗
of the variational inequality:
Let A : C → H be a nonlinear mapping Let EPG, A denote the set of all solutions to the
following equilibrium problem:
EP cG, A x ∈ C : Gx, y
In the case of A ≡ 0, EPG, A is deduced to EP In the case of G ≡ 0, EPG, A is also denoted
by VIC, A
Trang 4In 2007, S Takahashi and W Takahashi 6 introduced a viscosity approximation
method for finding a common element of EP G and FT from an arbitrary initial element
and proved that the iterative schemes{xn} and {un} converge strongly to the unique solution
z of the variational inequality:
where h is a potential function for γf.
Very recently, for finding a common element of the set of a finite family ofnonexpansive mappings and the set of solutions of an equilibrium problem, by combiningthe schemes1.11 and 1.17, Colao et al 5 proposed the following explicit scheme:
Trang 5The equilibrium problems have been considered by many authors; see, for example,
6,8 19 and the reference therein But, in these references, the authors only considered atmost finite family of equilibrium problems and few of authors investigate the infinite family
of equilibrium problems in a Hilbert space or Banach space In this paper, we consider a newiterative scheme for obtaining a common element in the solution set of an infinite family
of generalized equilibrium problems and in the common fixed-point set of a finite family
of nonexpansive mappings in a Hilbert space Let {Tn} N
n1 N ≥ 1 be a finite family of nonexpansive mappings of H into itself, be {Gn} : C × C → R be an infinite family of
bifunctions, and be{An} : C → H be an infinite family of kn-inverse-strongly monotonemappings Let{rn} be a sequence such that rn ⊂ r, 2kn with r > 0 for each n ≥ 1 Define the mapping Tri : H → C by

Trang 62 Preliminaries
Let C be a closed convex subset of a Hilbert space H For any point x ∈ H, there exists a unique nearest point in C, denoted by P C x, such that
Then PC is called the metric projection of H onto C It is well known that PCis a nonexpansive
mapping of H onto C and satisfies the following:
for all x, y ∈ C However, A is called an α-inverse-strongly monotone mapping if there exists
a positive real number α such that
Hence, if λ ∈ 0, 2α, then I − λA is a nonexpansive mapping of C into H.
If there exists u ∈ C such that
for all v ∈ C, then u is called the solution of this variational inequality The set of all solutions
of the variational inequality is denoted by VIC, A
In this paper, we need the following lemmas
Trang 7Lemma 2.1 see 21 Given x ∈ H and y ∈ C Then PC x y if and only if there holds the
Therefore, the following lemma naturally holds
Lemma 2.3 Let H be a real Hilbert space The following identity holds:
x y2
Lemma 2.4 see 3 Assume that A is a strongly positive linear bounded operator on a Hilbert
Lemma 2.5 see 2 Assume that {an} is a sequence of nonnegative numbers such that
Trang 8Lemma 2.6 see 23 Let C be a nonempty closed convex subset of a Hilbert space H and let G :
C × C → R be a bifunction which satisfies the following:
A1 Gx, x 0 for all x ∈ C;
A2 G is monotone, that is, Gx, y Gy, x ≤ 0 for all x, y ∈ C;

A4 For each x ∈ C, y → Gx, y is convex and lower semicontinuous.

It is easy to see that if there exists some point v ∈ C such that v TrI − rAv, where
v Tr I − rAv, one has
Hence, v ∈ EPG, A.

3 Main Results
Now, we give our main results in this paper
Theorem 3.1 Let H be a Hilbert space and C be a nonempty closed convex subset of H Let f : H →
H be a contraction with coefficient 0 < κ < 1, A, B : H → H be strongly positive linear bounded
n1 : H →
H N ≥ 1 be a finite family of nonexpansive mappings, {Gn} : C × C → R be an infinite family

i1EP Gi , A i / ∅ Let {n} and {δn} be two sequences in 0, 1, {λn,i} N
i1be asequence in a, b with 0 < a ≤ b < 1, {rn}
Take a fixed number γ > 0 with 0 < γ − γκ < 1 Assume that
E1 limn→ ∞ n 0 and ∞n1 n ∞;
E2 limn→ ∞|λn 1,i − λn,i| 0 for each i 1, 2, , N;
E3 0 ≤ δn n ≤ 1 for all n ≥ 1;
Trang 10Then the sequence {xn} defined by 1.23 converges strongly to x∗∈ Ω, which is the unique solution
of the variational inequality:1.24, that is,
generality, that n < 1 − δn B A −1for all n ≥ 1 Noting that A and B are both the linear
bounded self-adjoint operators, one has
Trang 11Moreover, it follows from3.7, f1/ B > 1 and E4 that
δ n < 1
Next, we proceed the proof with following steps
Let p ∈ Ω Lemma 2.6 shows that every T ri is firmly nonexpansive and hence
nonexpansive Since r < r i < 2k i , I −ri A i is nonexpansive for each i ≥ 1 Therefore, TriI −ri A i
is nonexpansive for each i ≥ 1 Noting that {αn} is strictly decreasing, α0 1, we have
Trang 12It follows from n ∈ 0, 1 and 0 < γ − γκ < 1 that 0 < nγ − γκ < 1 Therefore, by the simple
It follows from the definition of Wnthat
Un 1,N−i z n − Un,N −i z n
λn 1,N−i T N −i U n 1,N−i−1 z n 1 − λn 1,N−i zn − λn,N −i T N −i U n,N −i−1 z n − 1 − λn,N −i zn
≤ λn 1,N−i TN −i U n 1,N−i−1 z n − TN −i U n,N −i−1 z n
|λn 1,N−i − λn,N −i | TN −i U n,N −i−1 z n |λn 1,N−i − λn,N −i | zn
≤ Un 1,N−i−1 z n − Un,N −i−1 z n zn TN −i U n,N −i−1 z n |λn 1,N−i − λn,N −i|
≤ Un 1,N−i−1 z n − Un,N −i−1 z n M1|λn 1,N−i − λn,N −i|
Trang 14Hence, by3.4 and 3.18, we get
where M2 supn {γ fxn−1 Bxn−1 BWn−1z n−1 AWn−1z n−1 }
Set M3 min{β − B , γ − γκ} It follows from 0 ≤ γ − γκ < 1 and β > B due to

Trang 15Then it follows from3.21 that
Trang 16Notice that, for any x∈ Ω,
Trang 17and hence, for each i≥ 1,
Tri I − ri A ixn − Tri I − ri A ix 2
≤ Tri I − ri A ixn − Tri I − ri A ix, I − ri A ixn − I − ri A ix
Tri I − ri A ixn − x, xn − x riTri I − ri A ixn − x, Ai x − Ai x n
Trang 18By using3.8, 3.9, 3.35, Lemmas2.3and2.4, we havenoting that δn < 1/β
Trang 19This shows that for, each i≥ 1,
Since{αn} is strictly decreasing, δn → 0, n → 0, Ai x n − Ai x → 0 and xn − xn1 → 0, we
have, for each i≥ 1,
To prove this, we pick a subsequence{xnj } of {xn} such that
Without loss of generality, we may further assume that xnj )x Obviously, to proveStep 5,
we only need to prove that )x ∈ Ω.
Indeed, for each i ≥ 1, since xn − Tri I − ri A ixn → 0, xnj → )x and Tri I − ri A i is
nonexpansive, by demiclosed principle of nonexpansive mapping we have
)x ∈ FTri I − ri A i EPGi , A i, i ≥ 1. 3.43
Assume that λ nm,k → λk ∈ 0, 1 for each k 1, 2, , N Let W be the W-mapping generated by T1, , T N and λ1, , λ N Then, byLemma 2.8, we have
Trang 20Moreover, it follows fromLemma 2.7thatN
n1F Ti FW Assume that )x /∈ FW.
Then )x / W )x Since )x ∈ FTri I − ri A i for each i ≥ 1, byStep 3,3.44 and Opial’s property
of the Hilbert space H, we have
By using Lemmas2.3and2.4, we have
Trang 21which implies that
ByTheorem 3.1, we have the following direct corollaries
Corollary 3.2 Let H be a Hilbert space and C be a nonempty closed convex subset of H Let f :
H → H be a contraction with coefficient 0 < κ < 1, A : H → H be strongly positive linear

min h1x,
where h1x and h2x are both the convex and lower semicontinuous functions defined on a closed convex subset of C of a Hilbert space H.
We denote by A the set of solutions of the problem4.1 and assume that A / ∅ Also,
we denote the sets of solutions of the following two optimization problems by A1 and A2,respectively,
