Abstract

Let E be a real q-uniformly smooth Banach space with constant dq, q≥2. Let T:E→E and G:E→E be a nonexpansive map and an η-strongly accretive map which is also κ-Lipschitzian, respectively. Let {λn} be a real sequence in [0,1] that satisfies the following condition: C1:limλn=0 and ∑λn=∞. For δ∈(0,(qη/dqkq)1/(q−1)) and σ∈(0,1), define a sequence {xn} iteratively in E by x0∈E, xn+1=Tλn+1xn=(1−σ)xn+σ[Txn−δλn+1G(Txn)], n≥0. Then, {xn} converges strongly to the unique solution x* of the variational inequality problem VI(G,K) (search for x*∈K such that 〈Gx*,jq(y−x*)〉≥0 for all y∈K), where K:=Fix(T)={x∈E:Tx=x}≠∅. A convergence theorem related to finite family of nonexpansive maps is also proved.
