Convergence theorems on total asymptotically demicontractive and hemicontractive mappings in CAT(0) spaces
Journal of Inequalities and Applications volume 2014, Article number: 436 (2014)
Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to introduce the concepts of total asymptotically demicontractive mappings and total asymptotically hemicontractive mappings. Under suitable conditions some strong convergence theorems for these two kinds of mappings to converge to their fixed points in CAT(0) space are proved. The results presented in the paper extend and improve some recent results announced in the current literature.

1 Introduction
The fixed point theorems for nonexpansive mappings in the setting of CAT(0) space have been studied extensively by many authors (see, for example, Refs. [1–8]). Nanjaras and Panyanak [9], in 2010, obtained a △-convergence theorem for asymptotically nonexpansive mappings in CAT(0) spaces. In 2012, Chang et al. [10] introduced the concept of total asymptotically nonexpansive mappings and proved the demiclosed principle for total asymptotically nonexpansive mappings in CAT(0) spaces and obtained a △-convergence theorem for the Krasnoselskii-Mann iteration. Recently, Sahin and Basarir [11] obtained a strong convergence theorem for asymptotically quasi-nonexpansive mappings by a modified S-iteration.
The classes of asymptotically demicontractive mappings and asymptotically hemicontractive mappings were introduced in 1987 by Liu [12] in Hilbert spaces. Liu [13] obtained some convergence results of the Mann iterative scheme for the class of asymptotically demicontractive mappings. Osilike [14] in 1998 extended the results of Liu [13] to more general q-uniformly smooth Banach spaces. Zegeye et al. [15] in 2011 obtained some strong convergence results of the Ishikawa-type iterative scheme for the class of asymptotically pseudocontractive mappings in the intermediate sense without resorting to the hybrid method which was the main tool of Qin et al. [16]. Olaleru and Okeke [17] in 2012 established a strong convergence of Noor-type scheme for uniformly L-Lipschitzian and asymptotically pseudocontractive mappings in the intermediate sense without assuming any form of compactness.
Inspired and motivated by the recent work of Olaleru and Okeke [18], Chang et al. [10], Sahin and Basarir [11], the purpose of this paper is to introduce the concept of total asymptotically demicontractive mappings and total asymptotically hemicontractive mappings in CAT(0) spaces, and prove some strong convergence theorems of Mann- and Ishikawa-type iterative schemes for uniformly L-Lipschitzian total asymptotically demicontractive mappings and total asymptotically hemicontractive mappings. The result presented in the paper extend and improve the corresponding results in Chang et al. [10], Sahin and Basarir [11], Liu [12, 13], Osilike [14] and Olaleru et al. [17, 18].
2 Preliminaries and lemmas
Let be a metric space. A geodesic path joining to (or, more briefly, a geodesic from x to y) is a map such that , , and for all . In particular, c is an isometry and . The image α of c is called a geodesic (or metric) segment joining x and y. When it is unique, this geodesic segment is denoted by . The space is said to be a geodesic space if every two points of X are joined by a geodesic, and X is said to be uniquely geodesic if there is exactly one geodesic joining x and y for each . A subset is said to be convex if Y includes every geodesic segment joining any two of its points.
Let , by [[8], Lemma 2.1(iv)] for each , then there exists a unique point such that
From now on, we will use the notation to denote the unique point z satisfying (2.1).
The following lemma plays an important role in our paper.
Lemma 2.1 [8]
A geodesic space X is a CAT(0) space, if and only if the following inequality holds:
for all and all . In particular, if x, y, z are points in a CAT(0) space and , then
Let be a metric space, C be a nonempty subset of X. Recall a mapping is said to be nonexpansive if
T is said to be asymptotically nonexpansive, if there is a sequence with such that
T is said to be -total asymptotically nonexpansive [10], if there exist nonnegative sequences , with , and a strictly increasing continuous function with such that
T is said to be quasi-nonexpansive, if and
T is said to be uniformly L-Lipschitzian, if there exists a constant such that
T is said to be completely continuous, if the image of each bounded subset in C is contained in a compact subset of C.
Berg and Nikolaev [19] introduced the concept of quasilinearization as follows:
Let us formally denote a pair by and call it a vector. Then a quasilinearization is defined as a map which is defined by
It is easily seen that , , and for all . We say that X satisfies the Cauchy-Schwarz inequality if
for all . It is well known [[19], Corollary 3] that a geodesically connected metric space is a CAT(0) space if and only if it satisfies the Cauchy-Schwarz inequality.
By using the quasilinearization, we can define demicontractive mappings in CAT(0) spaces.
Definition 2.2 Let X be a CAT(0) space, C be a nonempty subset of X. A mapping is said to be demicontractive if and there exists a constant such that
It is easy to show that (2.6) is equivalent to
Remark 2.3 From the definitions, we may conclude that each quasi-expansive mapping is a demicontractive mapping with .
Definition 2.4 Let X be a CAT(0) space, C be a nonempty subset of X. A mapping with is said to be:
-
(1)
an asymptotically demicontractive mapping if there exist a constant and a nonnegative sequence with such that
for all , , ;
-
(2)
an asymptotically demicontractive mapping in the intermediate sense if there exist a constant and nonnegative sequences with , such that
for all , , ;
-
(3)
a -total asymptotically demicontractive mapping if there exist a constant and nonnegative sequences with , , and a strictly increasing continuous function with such that
(2.8)
for all , , ;
-
(4)
a -total asymptotically hemicontractive mapping if there exist nonnegative sequences with , and a strictly increasing continuous function with such that
(2.9)
for all , , .
Remark 2.5 From the definitions, it is easy to see that each asymptotically demicontractive mapping is an asymptotically demicontractive mapping in the intermediate sense with sequence , and each asymptotically demicontractive mapping in the intermediate sense is a total asymptotically demicontractive mapping with .
Let C be a nonempty bounded closed convex subset of a complete CAT(0) space X and be a completely continuous and uniformly L-Lipschitzian and total asymptotically demicontractive or hemicontractive mapping with . We introduce the Mann-type iteration process,
and the Ishikawa-type iteration process,
where , are the sequences in . Under suitable conditions, we prove that sequences generated by (2.10) and (2.11) converges strongly to a fixed point of T. The results presented in the paper extend and improve some recent results announced in the current literature.
The following lemmas will be useful in this study.
Lemma 2.6 [13]
Let , be sequences of nonnegative real numbers satisfying , , , and we have a subsequence , converging to 0. Then we have
