1. Introduction and Preliminaries
Throughout this paper, let H be a real Hilbert space with the scalar product
and norm denoted by the symbols h., .i and k . k respectively. Let C be a closed
convex subset of H, we denote by PC (.) the metric projection from H onto C. It is
known that z = PC (x) is equivalent to hz − y, x − zi ≥ 0 for every y ∈ C. A point
x ∈ C is a fixed point of T provided that T x = x. Denote by F (T ) the set of fixed
point of T , that is, F (T ) = {x ∈ C : T x = x}. It is known that F (T ) is closed and
convex. Let T be a (possibly) nonlinear mapping from C into C. We now consider
the following classes:

(I) T is contractive, i.e., there exists a constant k < 1 such that
kT x − T yk ≤

k kx − yk ,

(1)

for all x, y ∈ C.
(II) T is nonexpansive, i.e.,
kT x − T yk ≤ kx − yk ,

(2)

for all x, y ∈ C.
(III) T is uniformly L-Lipschitzian, i.e., if there exists a constant L > 0 such

that
kT n x − T n yk ≤

L kx − yk ,

(3)

for all x, y ∈ C and n ∈ N.
(IV) T is pseudo-contractive, i.e.,
2

hT x − T y, j(x − y)i ≤ kx − yk ,

(4)

for all x, y ∈ C.
(V) T is strictly pseudo-contractive, i.e., there exists a constant k ∈ [0, 1) such
that
2


kT x − T yk

≤ kx − yk + k k(x − T x) − (y − T y)k ,

(5)

for all x, y ∈ C.
(VI) T is asymptotically nonexpansive [4], i.e., if there exists a sequence {rn } ⊂
[0, ∞) with limn→∞ rn = 0 such that
kT n x − T n yk ≤

(1 + rn ) kx − yk ,

(6)

for all x, y ∈ C and n ∈ N.

(VII) T is k-strictly asymptotically pseudo-contractive [14], i.e., if there exists a
sequence {rn } ⊂ [0, ∞) with limn→∞ rn = 0 such that
2

kT n x − T n yk

2

≤ (1 + rn )2 kx − yk

+k k(x − T n x) − (y − T n y)k

(7)

for some k ∈ [0, 1) for all x, y ∈ C and n ∈ N.
Remark 1.1. [14] . If T is k-strictly asymptotically pseudo-contractive mapping,
then it is uniformly L-Lipschitzian, but the converse does not hold. It can be shown
as:

Observe that if T is k-strictly asymptotically pseudo-contractive, taking 1 +
rn = an in (7) with limn→∞ an = 1 since limn→∞ rn = 0, then for all x, y ∈ C, we
have from (7) that
kT n x − T n yk

≤ a2n kx − yk + k k(x − T n x) − (y − T n y)k

= (an kx − yk)2 + ( k k(x − T n x) − (y − T n y)k)2

≤ (an kx − yk + k k(x − T n x) − (y − T n y)k)2 .

Thus
kT n x − T n yk ≤



an kx − yk +

an kx − yk +





k k(x − T n x) − (y − T n y)k

k kx − yk − k kT n x − T n yk ,

so that

kT x − T yk ≤

Since {an } is bounded, then an ≤ a for all n ≥ 0 and for some a > 0. Hence

where L = a+

1− k
mapping is uniformly L-Lipschitzian.
The class of strictly pseudo-contractive mappings have been studied by several
authors (see, for example [2, 5, 11, 16] and references therein.).
In case of contractive mapping, the Banach Contraction Principle guarantee
not only the existence of unique fixed point, but also to obtain the fixed point
by successive approximation (or Picard iteration). But for outside the class of
contractive mapping, the classical iteration scheme no longer applies. So some
other iteration scheme is required.
Two iteration processes are often used to approximate fixed point of nonexpansive and pseudo-contractive mappings. The first iteration process is known as
Mann’s iteration [12], where {xn } is defined as

xn+1

= αn xn + (1 − αn )T xn , n ≥ 0

(8)

αn xn + (1 − αn )T yn ,
βn xn + (1 − βn )T xn ; n ≥ 0


(9)

where the initial guess x0 is taken in C arbitrary and the sequence {αn } is in the
interval [0, 1].
The second iteration process is known as Ishikawa iteration process [6] which
is defined by
xn+1
yn

=
=

where the initial guess x0 is taken in C arbitrary and {αn } and {βn } are sequences
in the interval [0, 1].
Process (9) is indeed more general than the process (8). But research has been
concentrated on the later, probably due to the reason that process (8) is simpler
and that a convergence theorem for process (8) may possibly lead to a convergence
theorem for process (9), provided that the sequence {βn } satisfy certain appropriate
conditions.

If T is a nonexpansive
P∞ mapping with a fixed point and the control sequence
{αn } is chosen so that n=0 αn (1 − αn ) = ∞, then the sequence {xn } generated
by Mann’s iteration process (8) converges weakly to a fixed point of T (this is

G. S. Saluja and H. K. Nashine

28

also valid in a uniformly convex Banach space with the Fréchet differentiable norm
[18]). However we note that Mann’s iterations have only weak convergence even in
Hilbert space [3].
Attempts to modify the Mann iteration method (8) so that strong convergence is guaranteed have recently been made. Nakajo and Takahashi [13] proposed
the following modification of Mann iteration method (8) for a single nonexpansive
mapping T in a Hilbert space H:
x0 ∈ C chosen arbitrary

yn

αn xn + (1 − αn )T xn ,
{z ∈ C : kyn − zk ≤ kxn − zk},
{z ∈ C : hxn − z, x0 − xn i ≥ 0},
PCn ∩Qn (x0 ).

(10)

They proved that if the sequence {αn } is bounded above from one, then the sequence {xn } generated by (10) converges strongly to PF (T ) (x0 ).
Algorithm (10) is called a (CQ) algorithm for the Mann iteration method
because at each step the Mann iterate (denoted by yn in (10)) is used to construct
the sets Cn and Qn which are in turn used to construct the next iterate xn+1 .
In algorithm (10) the initial guess x0 is projected onto the intersection of two
suitably constructed closed convex subsets Cn and Qn .
In 2006, Kim and Xu [7] adapted the iteration (10) to asymptotically nonexpansive mappings. They introduced the following iteration process for asymptotically nonexpansive mappings in Hilbert space H:
x0 ∈ C chosen arbitrary,
yn

{z ∈ C : hxn − z, x0 − xn i ≥ 0},
PCn ∩Qn (x0 ),

(11)

where
θn = (1 − αn )((1 + rn )2 − 1)(diam C)2 → 0 as n → ∞.
Recently, Marino and Xu [11] extended (CQ) algorithm from nonexpansive
mappings to strict pseudo-contractive mappings.
It is important note that the set Cn in the (CQ) algorithm differs among
distinct classes of mappings.
In recent years, the implicit iteration scheme for approximating fixed points
of nonlinear mappings has been introduced and studied by several authors.
In 2001, Xu and Ori [20] have introduced the following implicit iteration
process for common fixed points of a finite family of nonexpansive mappings {Ti }N
i=1

in Hilbert spaces:
tn xn−1 + (1 − tn )Tn xn , n ≥ 1

=

xn

(12)

where Tn = Tn mod N . (Here the mod N function takes values in {1, 2, . . . , N }).
And they proved the weak convergence of the process (12).
Very recently, Acedo and Xu [1] still in the framework of Hilbert spaces
introduced the following cyclic algorithm.
N −1
Let C be a closed convex subset of a Hilbert space H and let {Ti }i=0
be
TN −1
N k-strict pseudo-contractions on C such that F = i=0 F (Ti ) 6= ∅. Let x0 ∈ C
and let {αn } be a sequence in (0, 1). The cyclic algorithm generates a sequence
{xn }∞
n=1 in the following way:

α0 x0 + (1 − α0 )T0 x0 ,
α1 x1 + (1 − α1 )T1 x1 ,
αN −1 xN −1 + (1 − αN −1 )TN −1 xN −1 ,
αN xN + (1 − αN )T0 xN ,

In general, {xn+1 } is defined by
xn+1

=

αn xn + (1 − αn )T[n] xn ,

(13)

where T[n] = Ti with i = n (mod N ), 0 ≤ i ≤ N − 1. They also proved a weak
convergence theorem for k-strict pseudo-contractions in Hilbert spaces by cyclic
algorithm (13).
We note that it is the same as Mann’s iterations that have only weak convergence theorems with implicit iteration scheme (12) and (13). In this paper, we
introduce the following implicit iteration scheme and modify it by hybrid method,
so strong convergence theorems are obtained:
−1
Let C be a closed convex subset of a Hilbert space H and let {Ti }N
be N kTN −1i=0
strictly asymptotically pseudo-contractions on C such that F = i=0 F (Ti ) 6= ∅.
Let x0 ∈ C and let {αn } be a sequence in (0, 1). The implicit iteration scheme
generates a sequence {xn }∞
n=0 in the following way:
xn+1

=

s
αn xn + (1 − αn )T[n]
xn ,

(14)

s
where T[n]
= Tns (mod N ) = Tis with n = sN + i and i ∈ I = {0, 1, . . . , N − 1}.
Observe that if C is a nonempty closed convex subset of a real Hilbert space H
N −1
and {Ti }i=0
: C → C be N k-strictly asymptotically pseudo-contractive mappings.
If (1 − αn )L < 1, where L = max{Li : i = 0, 1, . . . , N − 1}, then for given xn ∈ C,
the mapping Wn : C → C defined by

Wn (x)

(16)

Since (1 − αn )L < 1 for all n ≥ 1, hence Wn : C → C is a contraction mapping.
By Banach contraction mapping principle, there exists a unique fixed point xn ∈ C
such that
xn

s
= αn xn + (1 − αn )T[n]
x, ∀n ≥ 1.

(17)

Therefore, if (1 − αn )L < 1 for all n ≥ 1, then the iterative sequence (14) can
be employed for the approximation of common fixed points for a finite family of
k-strictly asymptotically pseudo-contractive mappings.
It is the purpose of this paper to modify iteration process (14) by hybrid
method as follows:

The purpose of this paper is to establish strong convergence theorems of
newly proposed (CQ) algorithm (18) for finite family of k-strictly asymptotically
pseudo-contractive mappings in Hilbert spaces. Our results extend the corresponding results of Liu [9], Kim and Xu [8], Osilike and Akuchu [15], Thakur [19] and
some others.
In the sequel, we will need the following lemmas.
Lemma 1.2. Let H be a real Hilbert space. There holds the following identities:

Lemma 1.3. Let H be a real Hilbert space. Given a closed convex subset C ⊂ H
and points x, y, z ∈ H. Given also a real number a ∈ R. The set
2

{v ∈ C : ky − vk ≤ kx − vk + hz, vi + a}
is convex (and closed).
Lemma 1.4. Let K be a closed convex subset of a real Hilbert space H. Given
x ∈ H and y ∈ K. Then z = PK x if and only if there holds the relation
hx − z, y − zi ≤ 0 ∀y ∈ K,
where PK is the nearest point projection from H onto K, that is, PK x is the unique
point in K with the property
kx − PK xk ≤ kx − yk ∀x ∈ K.
We use following notation:
1. ⇀ for weak convergence and → for strong convergence.
2. ωw (xn ) = {x : ∃ xnj ⇀ x} denotes the weak ω-limit set of {xn }.
Lemma 1.5. [10]. Let K be a closed convex subset of H. Let {xn } be a sequence
in H and u ∈ H. Let q = PK u. If {xn } is such that ωw (xn ) ⊂ K and satisfies the
condition
kxn − uk =

ku − qk ∀n.

(19)

Then xn → q.


Lemma 1.6. [17]. Let {an }∞
n=1 , {βn }n=1 and {rn }n=1 be sequences of nonnegative
real numbers satisfying the inequality

an+1 ≤ (1 + rn )an + βn , n ≥ 1.
P∞
If n=1 rn < ∞ and n=1 βn < ∞, then limn→∞ an exists. If in addition
{an }∞
n=1 has a subsequence which converges strongly to zero, then limn→∞ an = 0.
P∞

Lemma 1.7. Let H be a real Hilbert space, let C be a nonempty closed convex subset
of H, and let Ti : C → C be a ki -strictly asymptotically pseudocontractive
P∞ mapping
for i = 0, 1, . . . , N − 1 with a sequence {rni } ⊂ [0, ∞) such that n=1 rni < ∞
and for some 0 ≤ ki < 1, then there exist constants L > 0 and k ∈ [0, 1) and a
sequence {rn } ⊂ [0, ∞) with limn→∞ rn = 0 such that for any x, y ∈ C and for
each i = 0, 1, . . . , N − 1 and each n ≥ 1, the following hold:
kTin x − Tin yk ≤

2

(1 + rn )2 kx − yk

2

+k k(x − Tin x) − (y − Tin y)k ,

(20)

and
kTin x − Tin yk ≤

L kx − yk .

(21)

Proof. Since for each i = 0, 1, . . . , N − 1, Ti is ki -strictly asymptotically pseudocontractive, where ki ∈ [0, 1) and {rni } ⊂ [0, ∞) with limn→∞ rni = 0. By

G. S. Saluja and H. K. Nashine

32

Remark 1.1, Ti is Li -Lipschitzian. Taking rn = max{rni , i = 0, 1, . . . , N − 1} and
k = max{ki , i = 0, 1, . . . , N − 1}, hence, for each i = 0, 1, . . . , N − 1, we have
kTin x − Tin yk ≤

(1 + rni )2 kx − yk

2
2

+ki k(x − Tin x) − (y − Tin y)k ,

≤ (1 + rn )2 kx − yk

2

2

+k k(x − Tin x) − (y − Tin y)k .

(22)

The conclusion (20) is proved. Again taking L = max{Li : i = 0, 1, . . . , N − 1} for
any x, y ∈ C, we have
kTin x − Tin yk ≤

Li kx − yk ≤ L kx − yk .

(23)

This completes the proof of lemma.

Theorem 2.2. Let C be a closed convex compact subset of a Hilbert space H. Let
N ≥ 1 be an integer. Let for each 0 ≤ i ≤ N − 1, Ti : C → C be NPki -strictly

asymptotically pseudo-contraction mappings for some 0 ≤ ki < 1 and n=1 rn <
∞. Let k = max{ki : 0 ≤ i ≤ N − 1} and rn = max{rni : 0 ≤ i ≤ N − 1}. Assume
TN −1
that F = i=0 F (Ti ) 6= ∅. Given x0 ∈ C, let {xn }∞
n=0 be the sequence generated by
an implicit iteration scheme (14). Assume that the control sequence {αn } is chosen
so that k + ǫ < αn < 1 − ǫ for all n and for some ǫ ∈ (0, 1). Then {xn } converges
N −1
strongly to a common fixed point of the family {Ti }i=0
.
Proof. We only conclude the difference. By compactness of C this immediately
implies that there is a subsequence {xnj } of {xn } which converges to a com−1
mon fixed point of {Ti }N
i=0 , say, p. Combining (27) with Lemma 1.6, we have
limn→∞ kxn − pk = 0. This completes the proof.

Remark 2.3. Theorem 2.2 extends and improves the corresponding result of Liu [9]
in the following ways:
(i) We removed the uniformly L-Lipschitzian condition.
(ii) The modified Mann iteration process is replaced by implicit iteration process for a finite family of mappings.
For our next result, we shall need the following definition:
Definition 2.4. A mapping T : C → C is said to be semi-compact, if for any
bounded sequence {xn } in C such that limn→∞ kxn − T xn k = 0 there exists a subsequence {xni } ⊂ {xn } such that limi→∞ xni = x ∈ C.
Theorem 2.5. Let C be a closed convex subset of a Hilbert space H. Let N ≥ 1 be
an integer. Let for each 0 ≤ i ≤ N − 1, Ti : C → C be N P
ki -strictly asymptotically

pseudo-contraction mappings for some 0 ≤ ki < 1 and n=1 rn < ∞. Let k =
max{ki : 0 ≤ i ≤ N − 1} and rn = max{rni : 0 ≤ i ≤ N − 1}. Assume that
TN −1
F = i=0 F (Ti ) 6= ∅. Given x0 ∈ C, let {xn }∞
n=0 be the sequence generated by an
implicit iteration scheme (14). Assume that the control sequence {αn } is chosen

so that k + ǫ < αn < 1 − ǫ for all n and for some ǫ ∈ (0, 1). Assume that one
N −1
member of the family {Ti }i=0
be semi-compact. Then {xn } converges strongly to
N −1
a common fixed point of the family {Ti }i=0
.
Proof. Without loss of generality, we can assume that T1 is semi-compact. It follows
from (35) that
°
°
(36)
lim °xn − T[1] xn ° = 0.
n→∞

By the semi-compactness of T1 , there exists a subsequence {xnk } of {xn } such that
xnk → u ∈ C strongly. Since C is closed, u ∈ C, and furthermore,
°
°
°
°
(37)
lim °xnk − T[l] xnk ° = °u − T[l] u° = 0,
nk →∞

for all l ∈ I = {0, 1, . . . , N − 1}. Thus u ∈ F . Since {xnk } converges strongly
to u and limn→∞ kxn − uk exists, it follows from Lemma 1.2 that {xn } converges
strongly to u. This completes the proof.

Remark 2.6. Theorem 2.5 extends and improves the corresponding result of Kim
and Xu [8].
Remark 2.7. Theorem 2.5 also extends and improves Theorem 1.6 of Osilike and
Akuchu [15] from asymptotically pseudocontractive mappings to strictly asymptotically pseudocontractive mappings.
We now prove strong convergence of k-strictly asymptotically pseudo-contractive
N −1
mappings {Ti }i=0
using algorithm (18):
Theorem 2.8. Let C be a closed convex subset of a Hilbert space H. Let N ≥ 1 be
an integer. Let for each 0 ≤ i ≤ N − 1, Ti : C → C be
N ki -strictly asymptotically
P∞
pseudo-contraction mappings for some 0 ≤ ki < 1, n=1 rn < ∞ and I − T[n] is
demiclosed at zero. Let k = max{ki : 0 ≤ i ≤ N − 1} and rn = max{rni : 0 ≤
TN −1
i ≤ N − 1}. Assume that F = i=0 F (Ti ) 6= ∅. Let {xn }∞
n=0 be the sequence
generated by an the algorithm (18). Assume that the sequence {αn } is chosen so
that supn≥0 αn < 1. Then {xn } converges strongly to PF (x0 ).
Proof. By Lemma 1.3, we observe that Cn is convex.
Now, for all p ∈ F , using Lemma 1.2(ii), we have

so p ∈ Cn for all n. Thus F ⊂ Cn for all n.
Next we show that F ⊂ Qn for all n ≥ 0, for this we use induction.
For n = 0, we have F ⊂ C = Q0 . Assume that F ⊂ Qn .
Since xn+1 is the projection of x0 onto Cn ∩ Qn , by Lemma 1.4, we have
hxn+1 − z, x0 − xn+1 i ≥ 0 ∀z ∈ Cn ∩ Qn .
As F ⊂ Cn ∩ Qn by the induction assumption, the last inequality holds, in particular, for all z ∈ F . This together with the definition of Qn+1 implies that F ⊂ Qn+1 .
Hence F ⊂ Qn for all n ≥ 0.
Now, since xn = PQn (x0 ) (by the definition of Qn ), and since F ⊂ Qn , we
have
kxn − x0 k ≤ kp − x0 k ∀p ∈ F.

In particular, {xn } is bounded and

kxn − x0 k ≤ kq − x0 k , where q = PF (x0 ).

(40)

The fact xn+1 ∈ Qn asserts that hxn+1 − xn , xn − x0 i ≥ 0. This together with
Lemma 1.2(i), implies that

It follows that,
kxn+1 − xn k → 0.
By the fact xn+1 ∈ Cn we get

Now, since I − T[n] is demiclosed at zero, (48) imply that xn ⇀ x, where x is a
weak limit of {xn } and hence ωw (xn ) ⊂ F (Ti ) for any i = 0, 1, . . . , N − 1. So,
TN −1
ωw (xn ) ⊂ F = i=0 . This fact, the inequality (40) and Lemma 1.5 implies that
{xn } → q = PF (x0 ), that is, {xn } converges strongly to PF (x0 ). This completes
the proof.
