We introduce a new iterative scheme for finding the common element of the set of common fixed points of nonexpansive mappings, the set of solutions of an equilibrium problem, and the set of solutions of the variational inequality We show that the sequence converges strongly to a common element of the above three sets under some parameters controlling conditions Moreover, we apply our result to the problem of finding a common fixed point of a countable family of nonexpansive mappings, and the problem of finding a zero of a monotone operator This main theorem extends
a recent result of Yao et al.2007 and many others

1 Introduction
Let H be a real Hilbert space with inner product ·, · and norm ·, and let C be a closed convex subset of H Let F be a bifunction of C × C into R, where R is the set of real numbers The equilibrium problem for φ : C × C → R is to find x ∈ C such that
The set of solutions of1.1 is denoted by EPφ Given a mapping T : C → H, let φx, y
Tx, y − x for all x, y ∈ C Then z ∈ EPφ if and only if Tz, y − z ≥ 0 for all y ∈ C, that
is, z is a solution of the variational inequality Numerous problems in physics, optimization,
and economics reduce to find a solution of1.1 In 1997, Fl˚am and Antipin 1 introduced
an iterative scheme of finding the best approximation to initial data when EPφ is nonempty and proved a strong convergence theorem
Let A : C → H be a mapping The classical variational inequality, denoted by VIA, C,
is to find x∗∈ C such that
Ax∗, v − x∗
Trang 2for all v ∈ C The variational inequality has been extensively studied in the literature See,
for example,2,3 and the references therein A mapping A of C into H is called
α-inverse-strongly monotone4,5 if there exists a positive real number α such that
Au − Av, u − v ≥ αAu − Av2 1.3
for all u, v ∈ C It is obvious that any α-inverse-strongly monotone mapping A is monotone and Lipschitz continuous A mapping S of C into itself is called nonexpansive if
Su − Sv ≤ u − v 1.4
for all u, v ∈ C We denote by FS the set of fixed points of S For finding an element of
FS ∩ VIA, C, under the assumption that a set C ⊆ H is nonempty, closed, and convex,
a mapping S : C → C is nonexpansive and a mapping A : C → H is α-inverse-strongly
monotone, Takahashi and Toyoda6 introduced the following iterative scheme:
x n1 α n x n1− α n
SP C
x n − λ n Ax n
1.5
for every n 0, 1, 2, , where x0 x ∈ C, {α n } is a sequence in 0, 1, and {λ n} is a sequence
in0, 2α They proved that if FS ∩ VIA, C / ∅, then the sequence {x n} generated by 1.5
converges weakly to some z ∈ FS∩VIA, C Recently, motivated by the idea of Korpeleviˇc’s
extragradient method 7, Nadezhkina and Takahashi 8 introduced an iterative scheme
for finding an element of FS ∩ VIA, C and the weak convergence theorem is presented.
Moreover, Zeng and Yao 9 proposed some new iterative schemes for finding elements
in FS ∩ VIA, C and obtained the weak convergence theorem for such schemes Very
recently, Yao et al.10 introduced the following iterative scheme for finding an element of
FS ∩ VIA, C under some mild conditions Let C be a closed convex subset of a real Hilbert
space H, A : C → H a monotone, L-Lipschitz continuous mapping, and S a nonexpansive mapping of C into itself such that F S∩VIA, C / ∅ Suppose that x1 u ∈ C and {x n }, {y n} are given by
y n P C
x n − λ n Ax n
,
x n1 α n u β n x n γ n SP C
x n − λ n Ay n
∀n ∈ N, 1.6
where {α n }, {β n }, {γ n } ⊆ 0, 1 and {λ n } ⊆ 0, 1 satisfy some parameters controlling
conditions They proved that the sequence {x n} defined by 1.6 converges strongly to a
common element of FS ∩ VIA, C.
On the other hand, S Takahashi and W Takahashi11 introduced an iterative scheme
by the viscosity approximation method for finding a common element of the set of solution
1.1 and the set of fixed points of a nonexpansive mapping in a real Hilbert space Let S :
C → C be a nonexpansive mapping Starting with arbitrary initial x1 ∈ C, define sequences {x n } and {u n} recursively by
φ
u n , y
1
r n
y − u n , u n − x n
≥ 0 ∀y ∈ C,
x n1 α n f
x n

Su n ∀n ∈ N.
1.7 They proved that under certain appropriate conditions imposed on {α n } and {r n}, the sequences{x n } and {u n } converge strongly to z ∈ FS ∩ EPφ, where z P FS∩EPφ fz.
Trang 3Moreover, Aoyama et al.12 introduced an iterative scheme for finding a common fixed point of a countable family of nonexpansive mappings in Banach spaces and obtained the strong convergence theorem for such scheme
In this paper, motivated by Yao et al.10, S Takahashi and W Takahashi 11 and Aoyama et al 12, we introduce a new extragradient method 4.2 which is mixed the iterative schemes considered in10–12 for finding a common element of the set of common fixed points of nonexpansive mappings, the set of solutions of an equilibrium problem, and
the solution set of the classical variational inequality problem for a monotone L-Lipschitz
continuous mapping in a real Hilbert space Then, the strong convergence theorem is proved under some parameters controlling conditions Further, we apply our result to the problem
of finding a common fixed point of a countable family of nonexpansive mappings, and the problem of finding a zero of a monotone operator The results obtained in this paper improve and extend the recent ones announced by Yao et al results10 and many others
2 Preliminaries
Let H be a real Hilbert space with norm · and inner product ·, · and let C be a closed convex subset of H For every point x ∈ H, there exists a unique nearest point in C, denoted
by P C x, such that
x − P C x ≤ x − y ∀y ∈ C. 2.1
P C is called the metric projection of H onto C It is well known that P C is a nonexpansive
mapping of H onto C and satisfies
x − y, P C x − P C y
for every x, y ∈ H Moreover, P C x is characterized by the following properties: P C x ∈ C and
x − P C x, y − P C x
x − y2≥x − P C x2y − P C x2 2.4
for all x ∈ H, y ∈ C For more details, see 13 It is easy to see that the following is true:
A set-valued mapping T : H → 2H is called monotone if for all x, y ∈ H, f ∈ Tx, and
g ∈ Ty imply x − y, f − g ≥ 0 A monotone mapping T : H → 2 His maximal if the graph of
GT of T is not properly contained in the graph of any other monotone mapping It is known
that a monotone mapping T is maximal if and only if for x, f ∈ H × H, x − y, f − g ≥ 0
for everyy, g ∈ GT implies f ∈ Tx Let B be a monotone map of C into H, L-Lipschitz continuous mapping and let N C v be the normal cone to C at v ∈ C, that is, N C v {w ∈ H :
u − v, w ≥ 0 for all u ∈ C} Define

C into itself defined by

For solving the equilibrium problem for a bifunction φ : C × C → R, let us assume that
φ satisfies the following conditions:
A1 φx, x 0 for all x ∈ C;
A2 φ is monotone, that is, φx, y φy, x ≤ 0 for all x, y ∈ C;
A3 for each x, y, z ∈ C, lim t→0 φtz 1 − tx, y ≤ φx, y;
A4 for each x ∈ C, y → φx, y is convex and lower semicontinuous.
The following lemma appears implicitly in18
Lemma 2.5 see 18 Let C be a nonempty closed convex subset of H and let φ be a bifunction of
C × C into R satisfying (A1)–(A4) Let r > 0 and x ∈ H Then, there exists z ∈ C such that
The following lemma was also given in1
Trang 5Lemma 2.6 see 1 Assume that φ : C × C → R satisfies (A1)–(A4) For r > 0 and x ∈ H, define
a mapping T r : H → C as follows:
T r x

for all z ∈ H Then, the following hold:

ii T r is firmly nonexpansive, that is, for any x, y ∈ H, T r x − T r y2≤ T r x − T r y, x − y;
iii FT r EPφ;
iv EPφ is closed and convex.
3 Main results
In this section, we prove a strong convergence theorem
Theorem 3.1 Let C be a closed convex subset of a real Hilbert space H Let φ be a bifunction from C×
C to R satisfying (A1)–(A4), A : C → H a monotone L-Lipschitz continuous mapping and let {S n}
be a sequence of nonexpansive mappings of C into itself such that ∩∞

where {α n }, {β n }, {γ n } ⊆ 0, 1, {λ n } ⊆ 0, 1, and {r n } ⊆ 0, ∞ satisfy the following conditions:
C1 α n β n γ n 1,
C2 limn→∞ α n 0, ∞n1 α n ∞,

C4 limn→∞ λ n 0,
C5 lim infn→∞ r n > 0, ∞n1 |r n1 − r n | < ∞.
Suppose that ∞n1sup{Sn1 z − S n z : z ∈ B} < ∞ for any bounded subset B of C Let
S be a mapping of C into itself defined by Sy lim n→∞ S n y for all y ∈ C and suppose that FS ∩∞
n1 FS n Then the sequences {x n }, {u n }, and {y n } converge strongly to the same point
q ∈ ∩∞
n1 FS n ∩ VIA, C ∩ EPφ, where q P∩∞
n1 FS n ∩VIA,C∩EPφ fq.
Proof Let Q P∩∞
n1 FS n ∩VIA,C∩EPφ Since f is a contraction with α ∈ 0, 1, we obtain
Qfx − Qfy ≤ fx − fy ≤ αx − y ∀x,y ∈ C. 3.2
Therefore, Qf is a contraction of C into itself, which implies that there exists a unique element
q ∈ C such that q Qfq Then we divide the proof into several steps.

n1 FS n ∩ VIA, C ∩ EPφ From 2.5 we have x∗ P C x∗− λ n Ax∗ Also it follows from 2.4 that

3.3
Since A is monotone and x∗is a solution of the variational inequality problem VIA, C, we have
Ay n − Ax∗, x∗− y n
≤ 0, Ax∗, x∗− y n
≤ 0. 3.4 This together with3.3 implies that

3.5 From2.3, we have
u n − λ n Au n − y n , t n − y n
so that
u n − λ n Ay n − y n , t n − y n
u n − λ n Au n − y n , t n − y n

≤λ n Au n − λ n Ay n , t n − y n

3.7
Hence it follows from3.5 and 3.7 that

Trang 7Since λ n → 0 as n → ∞, there exists a positive integer N0 such that λ n L − 1 ≤ −1/3, when
n ≥ N0 Hence it follows from3.8 that
t n − x∗ ≤ u n − x∗. 3.9 Observe that
u n − x∗ T r n x n − T r n x∗ ≤ x n − x∗, 3.10 and hence
t n − x∗ ≤ x n − x∗. 3.11 Thus, we can calculate

Therefore,{x n } is bounded Hence, so are {t n }, {S n t n }, {Au n }, {Ay n }, and {fx n}

and hence

Without loss of generality, let us assume that there exists a real number c such that r n > c > 0
for all n ∈ N Then, we have
