1. Introduction
Let H be a real Hilbert space with inner product 〈·,·〉, and induced norm ||·||. A mapping T: H → H is called nonexpansive if ||Tx - Ty|| ≤ ||x - y|| for all x,y ∈ H. The set of the fixed points of T is denoted by Fix(T) := {x ∈ H: Tx = x}.
The viscosity approximation method was first introduced by Moudafi [1] in 2000. Starting with an arbitrary initial x0∈ H, define a sequence {x n } generated by
where f is a contraction with a coefficient α ∈ [0,1) on H, i.e., ||f(x) - f(y)|| ≤ α||x - y|| for all x,y ∈ H, T is nonexpansive, and {ε n } is a sequence in (0,1) satisfying the following given conditions:
(i1) limn→∞ε n = 0;
(i2) ;
(i3) .
It is proved that the sequence {x n } generated by (1.1) converges strongly to the unique solution x* ∈ C(C := Fix(T)) of the variational inequality:
In 2003, Xu [2] proved that the sequence {x n } defined by the below process where T is also nonexpansive, started with an arbitrary initial x0 ∈ H:
converges strongly to the unique solution of the minimization problem (1.3) when the sequence {α n } satisfies certain conditions:
where C is the set of fixed points set of T on H and b is a given point in H.
In 2006, Marino and Xu [3] combined the iterative method (1.2) with the viscosity approximation method (1.1) and considered the following general iterative method:
It is proved that if the sequence {α n } satisfies appropriate conditions, the sequence {x n } generated by (1.4) converges strongly to the unique solution of the variational inequality:
or equivalently , where C is the fixed point set of a nonexpansive mapping T.
In 2009, Maingè [4] considered the viscosity approximation method (1.1), and expanded the strong convergence to quasi-nonexpansive mappings in Hilbert space.
In 2010, Tian [5] considered the following general iterative method under the frame of nonexpansive mappings:
and gave some strong convergent theorems.
Very recently, Tian [6] extended (1.6) to a more general scheme, that is: the mapping f: H → H is no longer a contraction but a L-Lipschitzian continuous operator with coefficient L > 0, and proved that if the sequence {α n } satisfies appropriate conditions, the sequence {x n } generated by xn+1= α n γf(x n ) + (I - μα n F)Tx n converges strongly to the unique solution of the variational inequality where T is still nonexpansive:
Motivated by Maingè [4] and Tian [6], we consider the following iterative process:
where f is L-Lipschitzian, T ω = (1 - ω)I + ωT, and T is a quasi-nonexpansive mapping. Under some appropriate conditions on ω and {α n }, we obtain strong convergence over the class of quasi-nonexpansive mappings in Hilbert spaces. Our result is more general than Maingè's [4] conclusion.
2. Preliminaries
Throughout this article, we write x n ⇀ x to indicate that the sequence {x n } converges weakly to x. x n → x implies that the sequence {x n } converges strongly to x. The following lemmas are useful for our article.
The following statements are valid in a Hilbert space H: for each x,y ∈ H, t ∈ [0,1]
-
(i)
||x + y|| ≤ ||x||2 + 2〈y, x + y〉;
-
(ii)
||(1 - t)x + ty||2 = (1 - t)||x||2 + t||y||2 - (1 - t)t||x - y||2;
-
(iii)
.
Lemma 2.1. Let f: H →H be a L-Lipschitzian continuous operator with coefficient L > 0. F: H → H is a κ-Lipschitzian continuous and η-strongly monotone operator with κ > 0 and η > 0. Then, for 0 < γ ≤ μη/L,
That is, μF - γf is strongly monotone with coefficient.
Lemma 2.2.[4]Let T ω := (1 - ω)I + ωT, with T quasi-nonexpansive on H, Fix(T) ≠ ∅, and ω ∈ (0,1]. Then, the following statements are reached:
(a1) Fix(T) = Fix(T ω );
(a2) T ω is quasi-nonexpansive;
(a3) ||T ω x - q||2 ≤ ||x - q||2 - ω(1 - ω)||Tx - x||2for all x ∈ H and q ∈ Fix(T);
(a4) for all x ∈ H and q ∈ Fix(T).
Proposition 2.3. From the equality (iii) and the fact that T is quasi-nonexpansive, we have
(a4) is easily deduced by I-T ω = ω(I-T) and the previous inequality.
Lemma 2.4.[7]Let {Γ n } be a sequence of real numbers that does not decrease at infinity, in the sense that there exist a subsequenceof {Γ n } which satisfiesfor all j ≥ 0. Also, consider the sequence of integersdefined by
Then, is a nondecreasing sequence verifying limn→∞τ(n) = ∞ and for all n ≥ n0, it holds that Γτ(n)< Γτ(n)+1and we have
Recall the metric projection P K from a Hilbert space H to a closed convex subset K of H is defined: for each x ∈ H the unique element P K x ∈ K such that
Lemma 2.5. Let K be a closed convex subset of H. Given x ∈ H, and z ∈ K, z = P K x, if and only if there holds the inequality:
Lemma 2.6. If x* is the solution of the variational inequality (1.7) with T: H → H demi-closed and {y n } ∈ H is a bounded sequence such that ||Ty n - y n || → 0, then
Proof. We assume that there exists a subsequence of {y n } such that . From the given conditions and T: H → H demi-closed, we have that any weak cluster point of {y n } belongs to the fixed point set Fix(T). Hence, we conclude that , and also have that
Recalling (1.7), we immediately obtain
This completes the proof. □
3. Main results
Let H be a real Hilbert space, let F be a κ-Lipschitzian and η-strongly monotone operator on H with k > 0, η > 0, and let T be a quasi-nonexpansive mapping on H, and f is a L-Lipschitzian mapping with coefficient L > 0 for all x,y ∈ H. Assume the set Fix(T) of fixed points of T is nonempty and we note that Fix(T) is closed and convex.
Theorem 3.1. Let, and start with an arbitrary chosen x0 ∈ H, let the sequence {x n } be generated by
where the sequence {α n } ⊂ (0,1) satisfies limn→∞α n = 0, and. Also, T ω := (1 - ω)I + ωI with two conditions on T:
(C1) ||Tx - q|| ≤ ||x - q|| for any x ∈ H, and q ∈ Fix(T); this means that T is a quasi-nonexpansive mapping;
(C2) T is demi-closed on H; that is: if {y k } ∈ H, y k ⇀ z, and (I - T)y k → 0, then z ∈ Fix(T).
Then, {x n } converges strongly to the x* ∈ Fix(T) which is the unique solution of the VIP:
Proof. First, we show that {x n } is bounded.
Take any p ∈ Fix(T), by Lemma 2.2 (a3), we have
By induction, we have
Hence, {x n } is bounded, so are the {f(x n )} and {F(x n )}.
From (3.1), we have
Since x* ∈ Fix(T), from Lemma 2.2 (a4), and together with (3.4), we obtain
it follows from the previous inequality that
From (iii), we obviously have
Set , and combine (3.5) with (3.6), it follows that
Now, we calculate ||x n +1 - x n ||.
From the given condition: T ω := (1 - ω)I + ωT, it is easy to deduce that ||T ω x n - x n || = ω||x n - Tx n ||. Thus, it follows from (3.4) that
Then, from (3.7) and (3.8), we have
Finally, we prove x n → x*. To this end, we consider two cases.
Case 1: Suppose that there exists n 0 such that is nonincreasing, it is equal to Γn+1≤ Γ n for all n ≥ n0. It follows that limn→∞Γ n exists, so we conclude that
It follows from (3.9),(3.10) and combine with the fact that limn→∞α n = 0, we have limn→∞||x n - Tx n || = 0. Considering (3.9) again, from (3.10), we have
Then, by , we conclude that
Since {f(x n )} and {x n } are both bounded, as well as α n → 0, and limn→∞||x n - Tx n || = 0, it follows from (3.12) that
From Lemma 2.1, it is obvious that
Thus, from (3.14), and the fact that limn→∞Γ n exists, we immediately obtain*******
or equivalently
Finally, by Lemma 2.6, we have
so we conclude that limn→∞Γ n = 0, which equivalently means that {x n } converges strongly to x*.
Case 2: Assume that there exists a subsequence of {Γ n }n ≥ 0such that for all j ∈ ℕ. In this case, it follows from Lemma 2.4 that there exists a subsequence {Γτ(n)} of {Γ n } such that Γτ(n)+1> Γτ(n), and {τ(n)} is defined as in Lemma 2.4.
Invoking (3.9) again, it follows that
Recalling the fact that Γτ(n)+1> Γτ(n), we have
From the preceding results, we get the boundedness of {x n } and α n → 0 which obviously lead to
Hence, combining (3.18) with (3.19), we immediately deduce that
Again, (3.14) and (3.20) yield
Recall that limn→∞ατ(n)= 0, from (3.19) and (3.21), we immediately have
By Lemma 2.6, we have
Consider (3.22) again, we conclude that
which means that limn→∞Γτ(n)= 0. By Lemma 2.4, it follows that Γ n ≤ Γτ(n), thus, we get limn→∞Γ n = 0, which is equivalent to x n → x*. □
Remark 3.2. Corollary 3.3 is only valid for . This is revised by Wongchan and Saejung [8].
corollary 3.3.[4]Let the sequence {x n } be generated by
where the sequence {α n } ⊂ (0,1) satisfies limn→∞α n = 0, and. Also, and T ω := (1 - ω)I + ωT with two conditions on T:
(C1) ||Tx - q|| ≤ ||x - q|| for any x ∈ H, and q ∈ Fix(T); this means that T is a quasi-nonexpansive mapping;
(C2) T is demi-closed on H; that is: if {y k } ∈ H, y k ⇀ z, and (I - T)y k → 0, z ∈ Fix(T).
Then, {x n } converges strongly to the x* ∈ Fix(T) which is the unique solution of the VIP(3.26):
