1 Introduction and preliminaries
Throughout this paper, we denote by E and a real Banach space and a dual space of E, respectively. Let denote the pairing between E and . The normalized duality mapping is defined by
In the sequel, we use j to denote the single-valued normalized duality mapping. Let K be a nonempty subset of E and be a mapping. Recall the following.
T is said to be Lipschitz if there exists a positive constant L such that
T is said to be nonexpansive if
T is said to be strictly pseudocontractive in the terminology of Browder and Petryshyn [1] if there exists such that
for some . It is clear that the class of strictly pseudocontractive mappings includes the class of nonexpansive mappings as a special case. It is also clear that (1.1) is equivalent to the following:
We know that strictly pseudocontractive mappings are Lipschitz continuous. Indeed, we find from (1.2) that
T is said to be strongly pseudocontractive if there exists such that
for some . T is said to be pseudocontractive if there exists some such that
T is said to be Lipschitz if there exists a positive constant L such that
It is well known that [2] (1.4) is equivalent to the following:
We remark that the class of strongly pseudocontractive mappings is independent of the class of strictly pseudocontractive mappings. This can be seen from the following examples.
Example 1.1 [3]
Take and define by
Then T is a strictly pseudocontractive mapping but not a strongly pseudocontractive mapping.
Example 1.2 [3]
Take and define by
Example 1.3 [4]
Take , , , . If , we define to be . Define by
Then T is a Lipschitz pseudocontractive mapping but not a strictly pseudocontractive mapping.
Let . E is said to be smooth or is said to have a Gâteaux differentiable norm if the limit
exists for each . E is said to have a uniformly Gâteaux differentiable norm if for each , the limit is attained uniformly for all . E is said to be uniformly smooth or is said to have a uniformly Fréchet differentiable norm if the limit is attained uniformly for . It is known that if the norm of E is uniformly Gâteaux differentiable, then the duality mapping J is single valued and uniformly norm to weak∗ continuous on each bounded subset of E.
In 2001, Xu and Ori [5], in the framework of Hilbert spaces, introduced the following implicit iteration process for a finite family of nonexpansive mappings with a real sequence in and an initial point :

which can written in the following compact form:
where (here the modN takes values in ).
They obtained the following weak convergence theorem.
Theorem XO Let H be a real Hilbert space, K be a nonempty closed convex subset of H, and be a nonexpansive mapping such that . Let be defined by (1.6). If is chosen so that as , then converges weakly to a common fixed point of the family of .
They further remarked that it is yet unclear what assumptions on the mappings and/or the parameters are sufficient to guarantee the strong convergence of the sequence .
In 2004, Osilike [6] further extended the above results from Hilbert spaces to Banach spaces. To be more precise, he obtain the following results.
Theorem O Let H be a real Hilbert space, K be a nonempty closed convex subset of H, and be a strictly pseudocontractive mapping such that . Let be defined by (1.6). If is chosen so that as , then converges weakly to a common fixed point of the family of .
Subsequently, many authors have investigated the fixed point problem of strictly pseudocontractive mappings based on an implicit or non-implicit iterative algorithm in Banach spaces; see [7–32] and the references therein.
In 2007, Acedo and Xu proposed a parallel iterative algorithm for strictly pseudocontractive mappings in the framework of Hilbert spaces. Weak and strong convergence theorems for common fixed points of a family of strictly pseudocontractive mappings were established; see [26] for more details and the reference therein.
In this paper, motivated by the above results, we consider an implicitly parallel iterative algorithm for a finite family of strictly pseudocontractive mappings. Weak and strong convergence theorems are established in the framework of Banach spaces.
In order to prove our main results, we need the following conceptions and lemmas.
Recall that the space E is said to satisfy Opial’s condition [33] if, for each sequence in E, the convergence weakly implies that
Recall that the mapping is semicompact if any sequence in K satisfying has a convergent subsequence.
Lemma 1.1 [34]
Let E be a real Banach space, K be a nonempty closed convex subset of E, and be a continuous strongly pseudocontractive mapping. Then T has a unique fixed point in K.
Lemma 1.2 [11]
Let E be a smooth Banach space and K be a nonempty convex subset of E. Let be some integer. Let be a strictly pseudocontractive mapping. Assume that is not empty. Assume that is a positive sequence such that . Then .
Lemma 1.3 [35]
Let , , and be three nonnegative sequences satisfying the following condition:
where is some nonnegative integer, , and . Then the limit exists.
2 Main results
Theorem 2.1 Let E be a smooth and reflexive Banach space which also satisfies Opial’s condition and K be a nonempty closed convex subset of E. Let be some positive integer. Let , where , be a -strictly pseudocontractive mapping and be a bounded sequence in K. Let be a sequence generated in the following algorithm:
where , , , and are real number sequences in . Assume that , and the above control sequences satisfy the following restrictions:
-
(a)
;
-
(b)
;
-
(c)
, where a and b are constants.
Then converges weakly to some point in F.
Proof Put . We show that T is λ-strictly pseudocontractive mapping, where . Notice that

This proves that T is λ-strictly pseudocontractive mapping. Next, we show that the implicit iterative algorithm (2.1) is well defined for the strictly pseudocontractive mappings. Define a mapping
It follows that

This shows that is strongly pseudocontractive. Since strictly pseudocontractive mappings are Lipschitz continuous, we see that is also continuous. In view of Lemma 1.1, we see that has a unique fixed point. This proves that the implicit iterative algorithm (2.1) is well defined. In view of Lemma 1.2, we see that . Fixing , we see that
It follows that
This implies, from the restriction (c), that
where M is an appropriate constant such that . In view of Lemma 1.3, we obtain that exits. Thanks to (2.2), we find from the restrictions (b) and (c) that
Since the space is reflexive and is bounded, there exists a subsequence of the sequence , which weakly converges to some x∈. In view of Lemma 1.4, we find that .
Finally, we show the sequence weakly converges to x. Suppose the contrary, then there exists some subsequence of the sequence which weakly converges to . It also follows from Lemma 1.4 that . Since exits for any . Put
Since the space satisfies Opial’s condition, we see that
This is a contradiction. This shows that . This proves that the sequence converges weakly to . This completes the proof. □

Then converges weakly to some point in F.
Next, we give a strong convergence theorem.

-
(a)
;
-
(b)
;
-
(c)
, where a and b are constants.
If is semicompact, then converges strongly to some point in F.
Proof Since is semicompact, we see that there exists a subsequence of such that . Notice that
Since is Lipschitz continuous, we see from (2.3) that . From Theorem 2.1, we know that exits for any . That is, exits. In view of , we find that
This completes the proof. □
