On the approximation problem of common fixed points for a finite family of non-self asymptotically quasi-nonexpansive-type mappings in Banach spaces

The purpose of this paper is to introduce the concept of non-self asymptotically quasi-nonexpansive-type mappings and to construct a iterative sequence to converge to a common fixed point for a finite family of non-self asymptotically quasi-nonexpansive-type mappings in Banach spaces.

Convergence theorems for asymptotically pseudocontractive mappings in the intermediate sense

In this paper, we prove a strong convergence of Ishikawa scheme to a uniformly L-Lipschitzian and asymptotically pseudocontractive mappings in the intermediate sense. No compactness assumption is imposed either on T or C, and computation of intersection of closed convex sets C_n and Q_n for each n≥1 is not required. We also obtain convergence results in this direction for asymptotically strict pseudocontractive mappings in the intermediate sense. Our theorems improve and unify most of the results that have been proved for this important class of nonlinear mappings.     

Coupled fixed point theorems for mixed monotone mappings and an application to integral equations

In this paper, we extend the coupled fixed point theorems for a mixed monotone mapping F:X×X→X in partially ordered metric spaces established by Bhaskar and Lakshmikantham [T. Gnana Bhaskar, V. Lakshmikantham, Fixed point theorems in partially ordered metric spaces and applications, Nonlinear Anal. TMA 65 (2006) 1379-1393]. An application to nonlinear integral equations is also given to illustrate our results.     

Coupled common fixed point theorems for a pair of commuting mappings in partially ordered complete metric spaces

The purpose of this paper is to establish a coupled coincidence point for a pair of commuting mappings in partially ordered complete metric spaces. We also present a result on the existence and uniqueness of coupled common fixed points. An example is given to support the usability of our results.     

Convergence of an Ishikawa type iterative scheme for asymptotically quasi-nonexpansive mappings

In convex metric spaces, the Ishikawa iteration process and the Ishikawa iteration process with errors is defined for asymptotically quasi-nonexpansive mappings. It is proved some sufficient and necessary conditions for the iterative scheme converges to the fixed point of the asymptotically quasi-nonexpansive mappings. These results generalize and unify many important known results in recent literature.     

A viscosity approximation scheme for finite mixed equilibrium problems and variational inequality problems and fixed point problems

In this paper, we introduce a new iterative scheme for finding a common element of the set of solutions of finite mixed equilibrium problems, the set of solutions of variational inequalities for two cocoercive mappings, the set of common fixed points of an infinite family of nonexpansive mappings and the set of common fixed points of a nonexpansive semigroup in Hilbert space. Then we prove a strong convergence theorem under some suitable conditions. The results obtained in this paper extend and improve many recent ones announced by many others.     

Hyperbolicity of the fixed point set for the simple genetic algorithm

We study an infinite population model for the genetic algorithm, where the iteration of the algorithm corresponds to an iteration of a map G. The map G is a composition of a selection operator and a mixing operator, where the latter models effects of both mutation and crossover. We examine the hyperbolicity of fixed points of this model. We show that for a typical mixing operator all the fixed points are hyperbolic.     

A relaxed fixed point method for a mean curvature-based denoising model

Mean curvature-based energy minimization denoising model by Zhu and Chan offers one approach for restoring both smooth (no edges) and non-smooth (with edges) images. The resulting fourth-order partial differential equations arising from minimization of this model is non-trivial to solve due to appearance of a high nonlinearity and stiffness term, because simple alternative methods such as the fixed point method and the primal dual method do not work. In this paper, we first present a relaxed fixed point method for solving such equations and further to combine with a homotopy algorithm to achieve fast convergence. Numerical experiments show that our method is able to maintain all important information in the image, and at the same time to filter out noise.     

Convergence of a general iterative scheme for a finite family of asymptotically quasi-nonexpansive mappings in convex metric spaces and applications

In this paper, we introduce the iterative scheme due to Khan, Domlo and Fukhar-ud-din (2008) [8] in convex metric spaces and establish strong convergence of this scheme to a unique common fixed point of a finite family of asymptotically quasi-nonexpansive mappings. As a consequence of our result, we obtain some related convergence theorems. Our results generalize some recent results obtained in [8].     

Split common fixed point and null point problems for demicontractive operators in Hilbert spaces

In this article, we consider a split common fixed point and null point problem which includes the split common fixed point problem, the split common null problem and other problems related to the fixed point problem and the null point problem. We introduce an algorithm for studying the split common fixed point and null problem for demicontractive operators and maximal monotone operators in real Hilbert spaces. We establish a strong convergence result under some suitable conditions and reduce our main result to above-mentioned problems. Moreover, we also apply our main results to the split equilibrium problem. Finally, we give numerical results to demonstrate the convergence of our algorithms.     

Convergence theorems by a new iteration process for a finite family of nonself asymptotically nonexpansive mappings with errors in Banach spaces

In this paper, we study a new iteration process for a finite family of nonself asymptotically nonexpansive mappings with errors in Banach spaces. We prove some weak and strong convergence theorems for this new iteration process. The results of this paper improve and extend the corresponding results of Chidume et al. (2003) [10], Osilike and Aniagbosor (2000) [3], Schu (1991) [4], Takahashi and Kim (1998) [9], Tian et al. (2007) [18], Wang (2006) [11], Yang (2007) [17] and others.     

Some common fixed point theorems for generalized nonlinear contractive mappings

Sufficient conditions for the existence of a common fixed point for generalized nonlinear contractive mappings are derived. As applications, some results on the set of best approximation for this class of mappings are also obtained. The proved results generalize and extend various known results in the literature.     

Supremum metric on the space of fuzzy sets and common fixed point theorems for fuzzy mappings

This paper generalizes a classical result about the space of bounded closed sets with the Hausdorff metric, and establishes the completeness of CB(X) with respect to the completeness of the metric space X, where CB(X) is the class of fuzzy sets with nonempty bounded closed α-cut sets, equipped with the supremum metric d_∞ which takes the supremum on the Hausdorff distances between the corresponding α-cut sets. In addition, some common fixed point theorems for fuzzy mappings are proved and two examples are given to illustrate the validity of the main results in fixed point theory.     

An iterative approximation scheme for solving a split generalized equilibrium,variational inequalities and fixed point problems

In this paper, we consider a common solution of three problems in Hilbert spaces including the split generalized equilibrium problem, the variational inequality problem and fixed point problem. For finding the solution, we present a new iterative method and prove the strongly convergence theorem under mild conditions. Moreover, some numerical examples are given in the last section.     

On solving the minimization problem and the fixed-point problem for a finite family of non-expansive mappings in CAT(0) spaces

In this paper, we propose a new modified proximal point algorithm for a finite family of non-expansive mappings in the framework of CAT(0) spaces. We establish Δ-convergence and strong convergence theorems under some mild conditions. Our results extend some known results which appeared in the literature.     

Two types of nonlinear automata over a finite ring

The structure of a class of automata is analyzed. These automata are analogs of symmetric chaotic dynamical systems over a finite ring, namely, the Guckenheimer–Holmes cycle and free-running systems. Problems of parametric identification and identification of initial states are solved, and a set of fixed points of automaton mappings is characterized.
