Journal of Inequalities and Applications volume 2012, Article number: 279 (2012)
Abstract
In this paper, we introduce and prove strong convergence theorems for a new viscosity iteration scheme for approximating common fixed points of a Lipschitzian semigroup on a compact and convex subset of a smooth Banach space. Our results extend and improve recent results.

1 Introduction
Let C be a nonempty, closed and convex subset of a Banach space E. Recall that a self mapping is an α-contraction on C if there exists a constant such that for any , we have
A function is said to be an L-function if , for any , and for every and , there exists such that for all . This implies that for all .
A mapping is said to be a -contraction if there exists an L-function such that
If for all , where , then f is a contraction.
A mapping f is called a Meir-Keeler type mapping if for each , there exists such that for all , if , then .
A mapping is said to be
-
(i)
nonexpansive if
-
(ii)
Lipschitzian with a Lipschitz constant if
-
(iii)
asymptotically nonexpansive if there exists a sequence of positive numbers satisfying the property and
Every nonexpansive mappings are asymptotically nonexpansive with respect to the sequence , . Also, every asymptotically nonexpansive mappings are uniformly l-Lipschitzian with .
Let S be a semigroup. Then a family of mappings of C into itself is called Lipschitzian mappings on C if for each , the mapping is a Lipschitzian mapping on C with a Lipschitz constant , and for all . A family is called a Lipschitzian semigroup on C if it satisfies the following:
-
1.
for all and ;
-
2.
for each , is a Lipschitzian mapping of C into itself, i.e., there is such that
A Lipschitzian semigroup is called uniformly l-Lipschitzian if for all .
Let denote the common fixed point set of the mappings .
For a semigroup S, we define a partial preordering ≺ on S by if and only if . If S is a left reversible semigroup (i.e., for ), then it is a directed set. (Indeed, for every , applying , there exist with ; by taking , we have , and then and .)
Let be a representation of a left reversible semigroup S as Lipschitzian mappings on C with Lipschitz constants . We shall say that is an asymptotically nonexpansive semigroup on C, if there holds the uniform Lipschitzian condition on the Lipschitz constants.
In 1953, Mann [1] introduced an iterative method as follows: a sequence defined by
where the initial guess element is arbitrary and is a sequence of real numbers in . The Mann iteration can guarantee in general only weak convergence. The Mann iteration has been extensively investigated for nonexpansive mappings and modified for strong convergence. Later, in 2000, Reich and Zaslavski [2] introduced the Krasnoselskii-Mann iterations of a generic nonexpansive operator on a closed and convex, but not necessarily bounded, subset of a hyperbolic space with a unique fixed point.
In 1967, Halpern [3] considered the following algorithm:
where T is nonexpansive and the initial guess element is arbitrary.
In 2004, Xu [4] introduced and proved the following viscosity approximation methods for nonexpansive mappings in a uniformly smooth Banach space:
where is a contraction mapping.
In 2007, Lau, Miyake and Takahashi [5] introduced the following Mann’s implicit iteration process:
for a semigroup of nonexpansive mappings on a compact and convex subset C of a smooth and strictly convex Banach space.
In the same year, Zhang et al. [6] introduced the following composite iteration scheme:
where is a nonexpansive semigroup, x is an arbitrary point in C. Under a suitable condition, they proved strong convergence theorems of an explicit composite iteration scheme for nonexpansive semigroups in a reflexive Banach space with a uniformly Gâteaux differentiable norm, uniformly smooth Banach space and uniformly convex Banach space with a weakly continuous normalized duality mapping.
In 2008, Shahram Saeidi [7] introduced the following viscosity iterative scheme:
for a representation of S as Lipschitzian mappings on a compact and convex subset C of a smooth Banach space E with respect to a left regular sequence of means defined on an appropriate invariant subspace of ; for some related results, we refer the readers to [8, 9].
Motivated and inspired by the idea of Zhang et al. [6] and Saeidi [7], we introduce the explicit viscosity iterative process by Meir-Keeler type contraction in a smooth Banach space. Then we prove that the sequence converges strongly to a common fixed point of , where S is a left reversible semigroup, which is the unique solution of the variational inequality
2 Preliminaries
Let E be a Banach space and let be the topological dual of E. The value of at will be denoted by or . With each , we associate the set
Using the Hahn-Banach theorem, it immediately follows that for each . A Banach space E is said to be smooth if the duality mapping J of E is single-valued. We know that if E is smooth, then J is norm-to-weak∗ continuous; see [8, 9]. Let E be a Banach space and let C be a closed and convex subset of E. Then
and
for all and .
Let S be a semigroup. We denote by the Banach space of all bounded real valued functions on S with a supremum norm. For each , we define and on by and for each and . Let X be a subspace of containing 1 and let be its topological dual. An element μ of is said to be a mean on X if . We often write instead of for and . Let X be left invariant (resp. right invariant), i.e., (resp. ) for each . A mean μ on X is said to be left invariant (resp. right invariant) if (resp. ) for each and . A subspace X is said to be left (resp. right) amenable if X has a left (resp. right) invariant mean. A semigroup X is amenable if X is both left and right amenable. If a semigroup S is left amenable, then S is left reversible [10, 11].
A net of means on X is said to be strongly left regular if
for each , where is the adjoint operator of . Let C be a nonempty, closed and convex subset of E. Throughout this paper, S will always denote a semigroup with an identity e. S is called left reversible if any two right ideals in S have nonvoid intersection, i.e., for any . In this case, we can define a partial ordering ≺ on S by if and only if . It is easy to see (for all ). Further, if , then for all . If a semigroup S is left amenable, then S is left reversible. But the converse is false. Denote by the set of almost periodic elements in C, i.e., all such that is relatively compact in the norm topology of E. We will call a subspace X of , -stable if the functions and on S are in X for all and . We know that if μ is a mean on X and if for each , the function is contained in X and C is weakly compact, then there exists a unique point of E such that
for each . We denote such a point by . Note that for each ; see [12–14]. Let D be a subset of B where B is a subset of a Banach space E and let P be a retraction of B onto D. Then P is said to be sunny [15] if for each and with ,
A subset D is said to be a sunny nonexpansive retract of B if there exists a sunny nonexpansive retraction P of B onto D. If E is smooth and P is a retraction of B onto D, then P is sunny and nonexpansive if and only if for each and ,
