We introduce two general iterative schemes for finding a common fixed point of a countable family
of relatively nonexpansive mappings in a Banach space Under suitable setting, we not only obtainseveral convergence theorems announced by many authors but also prove them under weakerassumptions Applications to the problem of finding a common element of the fixed point set
of a relatively nonexpansive mapping and the solution set of an equilibrium problem are alsodiscussed
1 Introduction and Preliminaries
Let C be a nonempty subset of a Banach space E, and let T be a mapping from C into itself.
When{x n } is a sequence in E, we denote strong convergence of {x n } to x ∈ E by x n → x and weak convergence by x n x We also denote the weak∗convergence of a sequence{x∗
n} to
x∗in the dual E∗by x∗n x∗ ∗ A point p ∈ C is an asymptotic fixed point of T if there exists {x n } in C such that x n p and x n − Tx n → 0 We denote FT and FT by the set of fixed points and of asymptotic fixed points of T, respectively A Banach space E is said to be strictly
convex ifx y/2 < 1 for x, y ∈ SE {z ∈ E : z 1} and x / y It is also said to be uniformly convex if for each ∈ 0, 2, there exists δ > 0 such that x y/2 < 1 − δ for
x, y ∈ SE and x − y ≥ The space E is said to be smooth if the limit

Trang 2exists for all x, y ∈ SE It is also said to be uniformly smooth if the limit exists uniformly in
x, y ∈ SE.
Many problems in nonlinear analysis can be formulated as a problem of finding a fixedpoint of a certain mapping or a common fixed point of a family of mappings This paper dealswith a class of nonlinear mappings, so-called relatively nonexpansive mappings introduced
by Matsushita and Takahashi1 This type of mappings is closely related to the resolvent ofmaximal monotone operatorssee 2 4
Let E be a smooth, strictly convex and reflexive Banach space and let C be a nonempty closed convex subset of E Throughout this paper, we denote by φ the function defined by
Following Matsushita and Takahashi6, a mapping T : C → E is said to be relatively
nonexpansive if the following conditions are satisfied:
In2, Alber introduced the generalized projection ΠC from E onto C as follows:
For more example, see1,8
In 2004, Masushita and Takahashi 1,6 also proved weak and strong convergencetheorems for finding a fixed point of a single relatively nonexpansive mapping Severaliterative methods, as a generalization of1,6, for finding a common fixed point of the family
of relatively nonexpansive mappings have been further studied in7,9 14
Trang 3Recently, a problem of finding a common element of the set of solutions of anequilibrium problem and the set of fixed points of a relatively nonexpansive mapping isstudied by Takahashi and Zembayashi in15,16 The purpose of this paper is to introduce
a new iterative scheme which unifies several ones studied by many authors and to deduce thecorresponding convergence theorems under the weaker assumptions More precisely, manyrestrictions as were the case in other papers are dropped away
First, we start with some preliminaries which will be used throughout the paper
Lemma 1.1 see 7, Lemma 2.5 Let C be a nonempty closed convex subset of a strictly convex
and smooth Banach space E and let T be a relatively quasi-nonexpansive mapping from C into itself Then FT is closed and convex.
Lemma 1.2 see 17, Proposition 5 Let C be a nonempty closed convex subset of a smooth, strictly
convex, and reflexive Banach space E Then
for all x ∈ C and y ∈ E.
Lemma 1.3 see 17 Let E be a smooth and uniformly convex Banach space and let r > 0 Then
there exists a strictly increasing, continuous, and convex function h : 0, 2r → R such that h0 0 and
h x − y ≤ φx,y 1.6
for all x, y ∈ B r {z ∈ E : z ≤ r}.
Lemma 1.4 see 17, Proposition 2 Let E be a smooth and uniformly convex Banach space and let
{x n } and {y n } be sequences of E such that either {x n } or {y n } is bounded If lim n → ∞ φx n , y n 0,
then lim n → ∞ x n − y n 0.
Lemma 1.5 see 2 Let C be a nonempty closed convex subset of a smooth, strictly convex, and
reflexive Banach space E, let x ∈ E, and let z ∈ C Then
Lemma 1.6 see 18 Let E be a uniformly convex Banach space and let r > 0 Then there exists a
strictly increasing, continuous, and convex function g : 0, 2r → R such that g0 0 and

for all x, y ∈ B r and t ∈ 0, 1.
We next prove the following three lemmas which are very useful for our main results
Trang 4Lemma 1.7 Let Let C be a closed convex subset of a smooth Banach space E Let T be a relatively
quasi-nonexpansive mapping from E into E and let {S i}N
i1 be a family of relatively quasi-nonexpansive mappings from C into itself such that FT ∩N i1 FS i / ∅ The mapping U : C → E is defined by
If E has a stronger assumption, we have the following lemma.
Lemma 1.8 Let C be a closed convex subset of a uniformly smooth Banach space E Let r > 0.
Then, there exists a strictly increasing, continuous, and convex function g∗:0, 6r → R such that
g∗0 0 and for each relatively quasi-nonexpansive mapping T : E → E and each finite family of
relatively quasi-nonexpansive mappings {S i}N i1 : C → C such that FT ∩N i1 FS i / ∅,

for all x∗, y∗ ∈ {z∗ ∈ E∗ : z∗ ≤ 3r} and t ∈ 0, 1 Let T : E → E and {S i}N i1 : C → C

u − S i z2≤ φu, S i z ≤ φu, z ≤ u z2≤ 2r2 1.14

α i Jz 1 − α i JS i z2≤ α i Jz2 1 − α i JS i z2− α i 1 − α i g∗Jz − JS i z. 1.15Then
ω i α i 1 − α i g∗Jz − JS i z ≤ φu, z − φu, Uz. 1.17
Lemma 1.9 Let C be a closed convex subset of a uniformly smooth and strictly convex Banach
space E Let T be a relatively quasi-nonexpansive mapping from E into E and let {S i}N i1 be a family
of relatively quasi-nonexpansive mappings from C into itself such that FT ∩N i1 FS i / ∅ The

2 U is relatively quasi-nonexpansive.
Trang 6Proof 1 Clearly, FT ∩N i1 FS i ⊂ FU We want to show the reverse inclusion Let z ∈
2 It follows directly from the above discussion
2 Weak Convergence Theorem
Theorem 2.1 Let C be a nonempty closed convex subset of a uniformly smooth and uniformly convex
Banach space E Let {T n}∞
n1 : E → C be a family of relatively quasi-nonexpansive mappings and let {S i}N i1 : C → C be a family of relatively quasi-nonexpansive mappings such that F :∞
ω n,i α n,i Jx n 1 − α n,i JS i x n 2.1
for any n ∈ N, {ω n,i }, {α n,i } ⊂ 0, 1 for all n ∈ N, i 1, 2, , N such that N i1 ω n,i 1 for all
n ∈ N Then {Π F x n } converges strongly to z ∈ F, where Π F is the generalized projection of C onto F.
Trang 7Proof Let u∈∞n1 FT n ∩N i1 FS i Put
U n T n J−1 N
i1
FromLemma 1.7, we have
Therefore limn → ∞ φu, x n exists This implies that {φu, x n }, {x n } and {S i x n} are bounded
This implies that limn → ∞ φy n , x n exists This together with the boundedness of {x n} gives
r : sup n∈N y n < ∞ UsingLemma 1.3, there exists a strictly increasing, continuous, and
convex function h : 0, 2r → R such that h0 0 and
h y n − y nm ≤ φy n , y nm
≤ φy n , x n
− φy nm , x nm
. 2.7
Since{φy n , x n } is a convergent sequence, it follows from the properties of g that {y n} is a
Cauchy sequence Since F is closed, there exists z ∈ F such that y n → z.
We first establish weak convergence theorem for finding a common fixed point of
a countable family of relatively quasi-nonexpansive mappings Recall that, for a family ofmappings{T n}∞n1 : C → E with∞n1 FT n / ∅, we say that {T n} satisfies the NST-condition
19 if for each bounded sequence {z n } in C,
Trang 8Theorem 2.2 Let C be a nonempty closed convex subset of a uniformly smooth and uniformly
convex Banach space E Let {T n}∞
n1 : E → C be a family of relatively quasi-nonexpansive mappings
satisfying NST-condition and let {S i}N i1 : C → C be a family of relatively nonexpansive mappings
such that F :∞n1 FT n ∩N i1 FS i / ∅ and suppose that
ω n,i α n,i Jx n 1 − α n,i JS i x n 2.10
for any n ∈ N, {ω n,i }, {α n,i } ⊂ 0, 1 for all n ∈ N, i 1, 2, , N such that N
i1 ω n,i 1 for all
n ∈ N, lim inf n → ∞ ω n,i α n,i 1 − α n,i > 0 for all i 1, 2, , N If J is weakly sequentially continuous,
then {x n } converges weakly to z ∈ F, where z lim n → ∞ΠF x n
Proof Let u ∈ F FromTheorem 2.1, limn → ∞ φu, x n exists and hence {x n } and {S i x n} are
bounded for all i 1, 2, , N Let
r sup
n∈N {x n , S1x n , S2x n , , S N x n }. 2.11
By Lemma 1.8, there exists a strictly increasing, continuous, and convex function g∗ :
0, 2r → R such that g∗0 0 and
N
i1
ω n,i α n,i 1 − α n,i g∗Jx n − JS i x n ≤ φu, x n − φu, x n1 . 2.12
In particular, for all i 1, 2, , N,
ω n,i α n,i 1 − α n,i g∗Jx n − JS i x n ≤ φu, x n − φu, x n1 . 2.13Hence,
∞
n1
ω n,i α n,i 1 − α n,i g∗Jx n − JS i x n < ∞ 2.14
for all i 1, 2, , N Since lim inf n → ∞ ω n,i α n,i 1 − α n,i > 0 for all i 1, 2 , N and the properties of g, we have
lim
n → ∞ Jx n − JS i x n 0 2.15
Trang 9for all i 1, 2 , N Since J−1is uniformly norm-to-norm continuous on bounded sets, wehave
lim
n → ∞ x n − S i x n 0 2.16
for all i 1, 2 , N Since {x n } is bounded, there exists a subsequence {x n k } of {x n} such that
x n k z ∈ C Since S i is relatively nonexpansive, z ∈ FS i FS i for all i 1, 2 , N.
We show that z∈∞n1 FT n Let
y n J−1 N
i1
ω n,i α n,i Jx n 1 − α n,i JS i x n . 2.17
We note from2.15 that
It follows fromLemma 1.4that limn → ∞ T n y n − y n 0 From 2.19 and x n k z, we have
y n k z Since {T n } satisfies NST-condition, we have z ∈∞n1 FT n Hence z ∈ F.
Let z n ΠF x n FromLemma 1.5and z ∈ F, we have
Trang 10Moreover, since J is monotone,
We next apply our result for finding a common element of a fixed point set of
a relatively nonexpansive mapping and the solution set of an equilibrium problem Thisproblem is extensively studied in11, 14–16 Let C be a subset of a Banach space E and let f : C × C → R be a bifunction The equilibrium problem for a bifunction f is to find x ∈ C such that fx, y ≥ 0 for all y ∈ C The set of solutions above is denoted by EPf, that is
x ∈ EPf
iff fx, y
≥ 0 ∀y ∈ C. 2.25
To solve the equilibrium problem, we usually assume that a bifunction f satisfies the
following conditionsC is closed and convex:
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 all x, y, z ∈ C, lim sup t↓0 ftz 1 − tx, y ≤ fx, y;
A4 for all x ∈ C, fx, · is convex and lower semicontinuous.
The following lemma gives a characterization of a solution of an equilibrium problem
Lemma 2.3 Let C be a nonempty closed convex subset of a Banach space E Let f be a bifunction from
C × C → R satisfying (A1)–(A4) Suppose that p ∈ C Then p ∈ EPf if and only if fy, p ≤ 0 for all y ∈ C.
Proof Let p ∈ EPf, then fp, y ≥ 0 for all y ∈ C From A2, we get that fy, p ≤ −fp, y ≤
Trang 11So f x t , y ≥ 0 for all t ∈ 0, 1 From A3, we have
Takahashi and Zembayashi proved the following important result
Lemma 2.4 see 15, Lemma 2.8 Let C be a nonempty closed convex subset of a uniformly smooth,
strictly convex and reflexive Banach space E Let f be a bifunction from C × C → R satisfying (A1)– (A4) For r > 0 and x ∈ E, define a mapping T r : E → C as follows:
4 EPf is closed and convex.
We now deduce Takahashi and Zembayashi’s recent result fromTheorem 2.2
Corollary 2.5 see 15, Theorem 4.1 Let C be a nonempty closed convex subset of a uniformly
smooth and uniformly convex Banach space E Let f be a bifunction from C × C to R satisfying (A1)– (A4) and let S be a relatively nonexpansive mapping from C into itself such that FS ∩ EPf / ∅ Let the sequence {x n } be generated by u1 ∈ E,
for every n ∈ N, {α n } ⊂ 0, 1 satisfying lim inf n → ∞ α n 1 − α n > 0 and {r n } ⊂ a, ∞ for some
a > 0 If J is weakly sequentially continuous, then {x n } converges weakly to z ∈ Π FS∩EPf , where
z lim n → ∞ΠFS∩EPf x n
Trang 12Proof Put T n ≡ T r n where T r n is defined by Lemma 2.4 Then ∞
To see that {T n } satisfies NST-condition, let {z n } be a bounded sequence in C such that
limn → ∞ z n − T n z n 0 and p ∈ ω w {z n } Suppose that there exists a subsequence {z n k} of
{z n } such that z n k p Then T n k z n k p ∈ C Since J is uniformly continuous on bounded
sets and r n k ≥ a, we have
EPf ∩ FS, where z limn → ∞ΠEPf∩FSx n
Using the same proof as above, we have the following result
Trang 13Corollary 2.6 see 11, Theorem 3.5 Let C be a nonempty and closed convex subset of a uniformly
convex and uniformly smooth Banach space E Let f be a bifunction from C × C to R satisfies (A1)–
EP f / ∅ Let the sequence {x n } be generated by the following manner:
b lim infn → ∞ α n β n > 0, lim inf n → ∞ α n γ n > 0;
c {r n } ⊂ a, ∞ for some a > 0.
If J is weakly sequentially continuous, then {x n } converges weakly to z ∈ F, where z lim n → ∞ΠF x n
The following result also follows fromTheorem 2.2
Corollary 2.7 see 9, Theorem 5.3 Let E be a uniformly smooth and uniformly convex Banach
space and let C be a nonempty closed convex subset of E Let {S i}N i1 be a finite family of relatively nonexpansive mappings from C into itself such that F N i1 FS i is a nonempty and let {α n,i :
lim infn → ∞ α n,i 1 − α n,i > 0 and lim inf n → ∞ ω n,i > 0 for all i ∈ {1, 2, , N} and N
i1 ω n,i 1 for
all n ∈ N Let U n be a sequence of mappings defined by
U n x Π C J−1 N
i1
for all x ∈ C and let the sequence {x n } be generated by x1 x ∈ C and
x n1 U n x n n 1, 2, . 2.39
Then the following hold:
1 the sequence {x n } is bounded and each weak subsequential limit of {x n } belongs to
N
i1 FS i ;
2 if the duality mapping J from E into E∗ is weakly sequentially continuous, then {x n}
converges weakly to the strong limit of{ΠF x n }.
