This paper presents a framework of iterative methods for finding specific common fixed points of a
nonexpansive self-mappings semigroup in a Banach space. We prove, with appropriate conditions,
the strong convergence to the solution of some variational inequalities.
1. Introduction
Let C be a nonempty closed convex subset of a Hilbert space H,andletF : C → H be a
nonlinear map. The classical variational inequality which is denoted by VIF, C is formulated
as finding x
∗
∈ C such that
Fx
∗
,x− x
∗
VIF, C has a unique solution. An important problem is how to find a solution of VIF, C.It
is known that

where λ>0 is an arbitrarily fixed constant and P
C
is the projection of H onto C.This
alternative equivalence has been used to study the existence theory of the solution and to
develop several iterative type algorithms for solving variational inequalities. But the fixed
point formulation in 1.4 involves the projection P
C
, which may not be easy to compute, due
to the complexity of the convex set C. So, projection methods and their variant forms can be
implemented for solving variational inequalities.
In order to reduce the complexity probably caused by the projection P

Our main purpose is to improve some of the conditions and results in the mentioned
papers, especially those of Song and Xu 11.
2. Preliminaries
Let S : {x ∈ X : x 1} be the unit sphere of the Banach space X. The space X is said to
have Gateaux differentiable norm or X is said to be smooth, if the limit
lim
t → 0
x ty
−

f

2
, ∀x ∈ X. 2.2
where ·, · denotes the generalized duality pairing. It is well known if X is smooth then any
duality mapping on X is single valued, and if X has a uniformly Gateaux differentiable norm,
then the duality mapping is norm to weak
∗
uniformly continuous on bounded sets.
4 Fixed Point Theory and Applications
Recall that a Banach space X is said to be strictly convex if x y 1andx
/
y
implies x y/2 < 1. In a strictly convex Banach space X, we have that if λx 1 − λy 1
for λ ∈ 0, 1 and x, y ∈ X, then x y.
Now, we recall the concept of uniformly asymptotically regular semigroup. A
continuous operator semigroup {Tt : t>0} on X is said to be uniformly asymptotically
regular on X if for all h>0 and any bounded subset D of X, we have
lim

called a Banach limit if μ

A discussion on these and related concepts can be found in 12.
We make use of the following well-known results throughout the paper.
Lemma 2.1 see 12, Lemma 4.5.4. Let D be a nonempty closed convex subset of a Banach space
X with a uniformly Gateaux differentiable norm, and let {y

The following lemma will be be used to show the convergence of 1.8 and 1.9.
Lemma 3.1. Let X be a Banach space, and let J be the single-valued normalized duality mapping from
X into 2

Assume that F : X → X is η-strongly monotone and κ-Lipschitzian. Assume also that {t

sequence of positive numbers that lim

Step 3. The sequence {x

we can obtain

Because {y

Therefore, from 4.8 and 4.9,weobtain

4.12
This completes the proof.
Next, we prove the strong convergence of explicit iteration scheme 1.9.
Theorem 4.2. Let X be a real Banach space with a uniformly Gateaux differentiable norm, and let
{Tt : t>0} be a nonexpansive semigroup from X into itself. Let also {x

the following conditions:

solution in C for the following variational inequality:

Proof. Existence and uniqueness of the solution of VI

Corollary 4.3. Let X be a real reflexive strictly convex Banach space with a uniformly Gateaux

Remark 5.4. We can easily see that under some restrictions all the strongly monotone and
Lipschitzian nonlinear operators used in this paper are replaceable by strongly accretive and
strictly pseudocontractive ones see 15.
