Abstract

In this paper, we introduce a new iterative scheme for finding a common element of the set of fixed points of a nonexpansive mapping, the set of solution of generalized equilibrium problem and the set of solutions of the variational inequality problem for a co-coercive mapping in a real Hilbert space. Then strong convergence of the scheme to a common element of the three sets is proved. Furthermore, new convergence results are deduced and finally we apply our results to solving optimization problems and obtaining zeroes of maximal monotone operators and co-coercive mappings.
