In 1979, Ishikawa proved a strong convergence theorem for finite families of sive mappings in general Banach spaces Motivated by Ishikawa’s result, we prove strongconvergence theorems for infinite families of nonexpansive mappings
in [2,4,5], and other references
Many convergence theorems for nonexpansive mappings and families of nonexpansivemappings have been studied; see [1,3,6,7,10,11,12,14,15,17,18,19,20,21] and others.For example, in 1979, Ishikawa proved the following theorem
Theorem 1.1 [12] LetC be a compact convex subset of a Banach space E Let { T1,T2, ,T k }
be a finite family of commuting nonexpansive mappings on C Let { β i } k
for n ∈ N Then { x n } converges strongly to a common fixed point of { T1,T2, ,T k }

Trang 2The author thinks this theorem is one of the most interesting convergence theoremsfor families of nonexpansive mappings In the case ofk =4, this iteration scheme is asfollows:
We remark thatS i S j = S j S idoes not hold in general
Very recently, in 2002, the following theorem was proved in [19]
Theorem 1.2 [19] LetC be a compact convex subset of a Banach space E and let S and T
be nonexpansive mappings on C with ST = TS Let x1∈ C and define a sequence { x n } in C by
theo-Theorem 1.3 [15] LetC be a compact convex subset of a strictly convex Banach space E Let { T n:n ∈ N} be an infinite family of commuting nonexpansive mappings on C Let { β n }
be a sequence in (0, 1) Put S i x = β i T i x + (1 − β i)x for i ∈ N and x ∈ C Let f be a mapping
onNsatisfying (f −1(i)) = ∞ for all i ∈ N Define a sequence { x n } in C by x1∈ C and
x n+1 = S f (n) ◦ S f (n −1)◦ ··· ◦ S f (1) x1 (1.5)
for n ∈ N Then { x n } converges strongly to a common fixed point of { T n:n ∈ N}

2 Lemmas
In this section, we prove some lemmas The following lemma is connected with nosel’ski˘ı and Mann’s type sequences [14,16] This is a generalization of [19, Lemma 1].See also [8,20]
Kras-Lemma 2.1 Let { z n } and { w n } be sequences in a Banach space E and let { α n } be a sequence
in [0, 1] with lim sup n α n < 1 Put
Trang 4for j ∈ N Put a =(1−lim supn α n)/2 We note that 0 < a < 1 Fix k, ∈ N andε > 0.
Then there existsm ≥ such that a ≤1− α n, w n+1 − w n − z n+1 − z n ≤ ε, and w n+ j −
z n+ j − w n − z n ≤ ε/2 for all n ≥ m andj =1, 2, ,k In the case of d =lim supn w n −
forj =1, 2, ,k In both cases, such m satisfies that m ≥ , a ≤1− α n ≤1, w n+1 − w n −
z n+1 − z n ≤ ε for all n ≥ m, and
Trang 6By usingLemma 2.1, we obtain the following useful lemma, which is a generalization
of [19, Lemma 2] and [20, Lemma 6]
Lemma 2.2 Let { z n } and { w n } be bounded sequences in a Banach space E and let { α n } be
a sequence in [0, 1] with 0 < liminf n α n ≤lim supn α n < 1 Suppose that z n+1 = α n w n+ (1−
α n)z n for all n ∈ N and
lim sup
n →∞
w n+1 − w n −z n+1 − z n ≤0. (2.19)
Then lim n w n − z n = 0.
Trang 7Proof We put a =lim infn α n > 0, M =2 sup{ z n + w n :n ∈ N} < ∞, and d =
lim supn w n − z n < ∞ We assumed > 0 Then fix k ∈ Nwith (1 +ka)d > M ByLemma2.1, we have
lim inf
n →∞ w n+k − z n −1 +α n+α n+1+···+α n+k −1
d =0. (2.20)Thus, there exists a subsequence{ n i }of a sequence{ n }inNsuch that
We prove the following lemmas, which are connected with real numbers
Lemma 2.3 Let { α n } be a real sequence with lim n(α n+1 − α n)= 0 Then every t ∈ R with
lim infn α n < t < limsup n α n is a cluster point of { α n }
Proof We assume that there exists t ∈(lim infn α n, lim supn α n) such thatt is not a cluster
point of{ α n } Then there existε > 0 and n1∈ Nsuch that
Trang 8We put
n5=max
n : n < n4,α n ≤ t − ε ≥ n3. (2.25)Then we have
α n5≤ t − ε < t + ε ≤ α n5+1 (2.26)and hence
ε ≤2ε ≤ α n5+1− α n5=α n5+1− α n
This is a contradiction Therefore we obtain the desired result
Lemma 2.4 For α,β ∈(0, 1/2) and n ∈ N ,
Trang 9We know the following.
Lemma 2.5 Let C be a subset of a Banach space E and let { V n } be a sequence of pansive mappings on C with a common fixed point w ∈ C Let x1∈ C and define a sequence
nonex-{ x n } in C by x n+1 = V n x n for n ∈ N Then { x n − w } is a nonincreasing sequence inR.
Proof We have x n+1 − w = V n x n − V n w ≤ x n − w for alln ∈ N
3 Three nonexpansive mappings
In this section, we prove a convergence theorem for three nonexpansive mappings Thepurpose for this is that we give the idea of our results
Lemma 3.1 Let C be a closed convex subset of a Banach space E Let T1and T2be pansive mappings on C with T1◦ T2= T2◦ T1 Let { t n } be a sequence in (0, 1) converging to
nonex-0 and let { z n } be a sequence in C such that { z n } converges strongly to some w ∈ C and
Then w is a common fixed point of T1and T2.
Proof It is obvious that
T1◦ T2w = T2◦ T1w = T2w. (3.5)
Trang 10We assume thatw is not a fixed point of T2 Put
Trang 11Lemma 3.2 Let C be a closed convex subset of a Banach space E Let T1, T2, and T3 be commuting nonexpansive mappings on C Let { t n } be a sequence in (0, 1/2) converging to 0 and let { z n } be a sequence in C such that { z n } converges strongly to some w ∈ C and
Then w is a common fixed point of T1, T2, and T3.
Proof We note that { T1z n },{ T2z n }and{ T3z n }are bounded sequences inC because { z n }
Trang 12This is a contradiction Hence,w is a common fixed point of T1,T2, andT3
Theorem 3.3 Let C be a compact convex subset of a Banach space E Let T1, T2, and T3be commuting nonexpansive mappings on C Fix λ ∈ (0, 1) Let { α n } be a sequence in [0, 1/2] satisfying
Trang 13for alln ∈ N Since
Trang 14Therefore we have
1− t − t2
T1z t+tT2z t+t2T3z t = z t (3.27)
for allt ∈ Rwith 0< t < α Since C is compact, there exists a real sequence { t n }in (0,α)
such that limn t n =0, and{ z t n }converges strongly to some pointw ∈ C ByLemma 3.2,
we obtain that suchw is a common fixed point of T1,T2, andT3 We note thatw is a
cluster point of{ x n }because so arez t n for alln ∈ N Hence, lim infn x n − w =0 Wealso have that{ x n − w }is nonincreasing byLemma 2.5 Thus, limn x n − w =0 This
We give an example concerning{ α n }
Example 3.4 Define a sequence { β n }in [−1/2,1/2] by
forn ∈ N Then{ α n }satisfies the assumption ofTheorem 3.3
Remark 3.5 The sequence { α n }is as follows:
In this section, we prove our main results
Lemma 4.1 Let C be a closed convex subset of a Banach space E Let ∈ N with ≥ 2 and let
T1,T2, ,T be commuting nonexpansive mappings on C Let { t n } be a sequence in (0, 1/2) converging to 0 and let { z n } be a sequence in C such that { z n } converges strongly to some
Trang 15Then w is a common fixed point of T1,T2, ,T
Proof We will prove this lemma by induction We have already proved the conclusion
in the case of =2, 3 Fix ∈ Nwith ≥4 We assume that the conclusion holds forevery integer less than and greater than 1 We note that { T1z n },{ T2z n }, , { T z n }arebounded sequences inC because { z n }is bounded We have
lim sup
n →∞

k =1t k n
Trang 16This is a contradiction Hence,w is a common fixed point of T1,T2, ,T By induction,
Lemma 4.2 Let C be a bounded closed convex subset of a Banach space E Let { T n:n ∈ N}
be an infinite family of commuting nonexpansive mappings on C Let { t n } be a sequence in
(0, 1/2) converging to 0 and let { z n } be a sequence in C such that { z n } converges strongly to some w ∈ C and
Trang 17Proof Fix ∈ Nwith ≥2 We putM =2 sup{ x :x ∈ C } < ∞ We have
Theorem 4.3 Let C be a compact convex subset of a Banach space E Let { T n:n ∈ N} be
an infinite family of commuting nonexpansive mappings on C Fix λ ∈ (0, 1) Let { α n } be a sequence in [0, 1/2] satisfying
for n ∈ N Then { x n } converges strongly to a common fixed point of { T n:n ∈ N}
Remark 4.4 We know that∞

(4.15)forn ∈ N, we have
Trang 19for allt ∈ Rwith 0< t < α Since C is compact, there exists a real sequence { t n }in (0,α)
such that limn t n =0 and{ z t n }converges strongly to some pointw ∈ C ByLemma 4.2,
we obtain that suchw is a common fixed point of { T n:n ∈ N} We note thatw is a cluster
point of{ x n }because so arez t n for alln ∈ N Hence, lim infn x n − w =0 We also havethat{ x n − w }is nonincreasing byLemma 2.5 Thus, limn x n − w =0 This completes
Similarly, we can prove the following
Theorem 4.5 Let C be a compact convex subset of a Banach space E Let { T n:n ∈ N} be
an infinite family of commuting nonexpansive mappings on C Fix λ ∈ (0, 1) Let { α n } be a sequence in [0, 1/2] satisfying
for n ∈ N Then { x n } converges strongly to a common fixed point of { T n:n ∈ N}
As direct consequences, we obtain the following
Trang 20Theorem 4.6 Let C be a compact convex subset of a Banach space E Let S and T be expansive mappings on C with ST = TS Let { α n } be a sequence in [0, 1] satisfying
for n ∈ N Then { x n } converges strongly to a common fixed point of S and T.
Remark 4.7 This theorem is simpler thanTheorem 1.2
Theorem 4.8 Let C be a compact convex subset of a Banach space E Let ∈ N with ≥2
and let { T1,T2, ,T } be a finite family of commuting nonexpansive mappings on C Let
