Abstract

In this paper, we introduce two iterative schemes (one implicit and one explicit) for finding a common element of the set of an equilibrium problem and the set of common fixed points of a nonexpansive semigroup (T(s))s≥0 in Hilbert spaces. We prove that both approaches converge strongly to a common element z of the set of the equilibrium points and the set of common fixed points of (T(s))s≥0. Such common element z is the unique solution of a variational inequality, which is the optimality condition for a minimization problem.
