Boletı́n de la Asociación Matemática Venezolana, Vol. XVI, No. 1 (2009) 31 On the stability of some fixed point iteration procedures with errors J. O. Olaleru and A. A. Mogbademu Abstract. Several results have been obtained on the stability of Mann, Ishikawa and Kirk iteration procedures (without errors) when dealing with different classes of quasi-contractive operators. In this paper, we consider the stability of Mann, Ishikawa and Kirk iteration procedures with errors and show that they are almost stable with respect to some classes of quasi-contractive maps. The results obviously generalise the results of several authors. Resumen.

Los resultados, obviamente, generalizar los resultados de varios autores. 1. Introduction Suppose X is a normed linear space and T is a self map of X. Suppose xo ∈ X and xn+1 = f (T, xn ) defines an iteration procedure which yields a sequence of points {xn } in X. Suppose F (T ) = {x ∈ X|T x = x} = 6 φ and that {xn }∞ n=0 ∞ converges strongly to p ∈ F (T ). Suppose {yn }n=0 is a sequence in X and {n } is a sequence in [0, ∞) given by n = kyn+1 − f (T, yn )k. If limn→∞ n = 0 implies that limn→∞ yn = p, then the iteration procedure defined by xn+1 = f (T, xn ) P∞ is said to be T − stable or stable with respect to T . If n=o n < ∞ implies yn → p, then the iteration procedure is said to be almost T − stable. Clearly any T-stable iteration procedure is almost T stable, but an almost T-stable iteration procedure may fail to be T-stable. The stability of several iteration procedures for certain contractive operators has been studied by several authors. Harder and Ricks [2] proved the stability of Picard and Mann iteration procedures for the quasi-contractive operators, called Zamfirescu operators, satisfying the following condition: 2000 AMS Mathematics Classification: 47H10 32 J. O. Olaleru and A. A. Mogbademu Let (X, d) be a complete metric space and T : X → X a map for which there exists the real numbers a, b and c satisfying 0 < a < 1, 0 < b, c < 1/2 such that for each pair x, y ∈ X, at least one of the following is true: (i) d(T x, T y) ≤ ad(x, y); (ii) d(T x, T y) ≤ b[d(x, T x) + d(y, T y)]; (iii) d(T x, T y) ≤ c[d(x, T y) + d(y, T x)]. In [13], Rhoades considered the stability of some iteration procedures for the contractive operators satisfying the following definition: there exists a constant c ∈ [0, 1) such that for each x, y ∈ X, 1 d(T x, T y) ≤ c max{d(x, y), [d(x, T x) + d(y, T y)], d(x, T y), d(y, T x)}. (0.1) 2 The Zamfirescu operators are independent of the operators satisfying (0.1). However, it was shown by Rhoades, B. E. 1976 [Comments on fixed point iteration methods. J. Math. Anal. Appl., 56:741-750], that if T satisfies (0.1) or if T is a Zamfirescu operator, then for δ ∈ [0, 1) d(T x, T y) ≤ δ d(x, T x) + δd(x, y). 1−δ (0.2) Osilike [11] considered a more general contractive definition: there exists L ≥ 0, a ∈ [0, 1) such that, for each x, y ∈ X d(T x, T y) ≤ Ld(x, T x) + ad(x, y). (0.3) Recently, Imoru and Olatinwo [3] proved the stability of the Picard and the Mann iteration process for the following operator which is more general than the one introduced by Osilike [11]. The operator satisfies the following contractive definition: there exist a constant q ∈ [0, 1) and a monotone increasing function Φ : R+ → R+ with Φ(0) = 0 such that for each x, y ∈ X, kT x − T yk ≤ Φ(kx − T xk) + qkx − yk. (0.4) Olaleru [9] also considered the stability of Ishikawa and Kirk iteration procedures when the operator satisfies (0.4). Osilike [10] proved that the Ishikawa iteration is almost T − stable when the operator is a Lipschitz strongly pseudocontractive operator. It is the purpose of this paper to generalise previous results on the stability of iteration procedures in literature by studying the stability of those iteration procedures with errors when the operators satisfy (0.4). Stability of some fixed point iteration procedures 33 2. Preliminaries The idea of considering fixed point iteration procedures with errors comes from practical numerical computations. Definition 1 [1]. Let K be a nonempty convex subset of a Banach space X and T : K → X a mapping. The sequence {xn }∞ n=0 defined iteratively by xo ∈ K, (0.5) xn+1 = an xn + bn T yn + cn un , yn = a0n xn + b0n T xn + c0n vn , n≥0 (0.6) (0.7) where {un }, {vn } are bounded sequences in K and {an }, {bn }, {cn }, {a0n }, {b0n } and {c0n } are sequences in [0, 1] such that an + bn + cn = a0n + b0n + c0n = 1, n ≥ 0 (0.8) is called the Ishikawa iteration sequence with errors. Remark 1. If un and vn are null sequences, then we have the usual Ishikawa iteration [4]. If b0n = c0n = 0, n ≥ 0, then the sequence {xn } will be called M ann iteration with errors. For recent results on Ishikawa iteration with errors, see [6] and [14]. If in addition, un is a null sequence, then we have the usual Mann iteration procedure [7-8]. Definition 2. The Kirk iteration with errors is defined as the sequence {xn }∞ n=1 given iteratively by xn+1 = ao xn + a1 T xn + a2 T 2 xn + ... + ak T k xn + wn un , n ≥ 0 (0.9) where {un } is a bounded sequence in X, {an } and {wn } are sequences in [0,1], Pk k ≥ 1 an integer, i = 0, 1, ..., k such that a1 > 0 and i=0 ai + wn = 1 for each n. Remark 2. If un is a null sequence, then we have the usual Kirk iteration ([1], [11]). In the sequel we shall require the following Lemma. Lemma [1]. Let {rn }, {sn }, and {kn } be sequences of nonnegative numbers satisfying rn+1 ≤ (1 − tn )rn + sn + kn P∞ ∞ for n=0 tn = ∞, sn = o(tn ) and P∞all n ≥ 0, where {tn }n=0 ⊂ [0, 1]. If k < ∞ hold, then lim r = 0. n n→∞ n n=o 3. Main Results Theorem 1. Let X be a normed linear space, T : X → X a self map of X satisfying (0.4) and {yn }∞ n=0 ⊂ X. For arbitrary xo ∈ X, define sequence {xn }∞ iteratively by n=0 xn+1 = f (T, xn ) = an xn + bn T xn + cn un , n ≥ 0 34 J. O. Olaleru and A. A. Mogbademu where {an }, {bn } and {cn } are sequences in [0,1] such that an + bn + cn = 1 and {un } is a bounded sequence in X. Suppose n = kyn+1 −(an yn +bn T yn +cn un )k and suppose T has a fixed point p. Assume that M = supn≥0 kun − pk. If limP n→∞ cn = 0, then ∞ (i) n=o n < ∞ implies limn→∞ yn = p, i.e., the Mann iteration with errors is almost T-stable; (ii) limn→∞ yn = P p implies limn→∞ n = 0. ∞ Proof. (i) Let n=o n < ∞. We shall establish that limn→∞ yn = p. In view of (0.4) and the fact that kT yn − pk = kT yn − T pk, kyn+1 − pk ≤ + ≤ ≤ + = = kyn+1 − (an yn + bn T yn + cn un )k k(an yn + bn T yn + cn un ) − (an + bn + cn )pk n + an kyn − pk + bn kT yn − pk + cn kun − pk n + an kyn − pk + bn [Φkp − T pk + qkp − yn k] cn kun − pk n + an kyn − pk + bn qkyn − pk] + cn kun − pk n + (an + bn q)kyn − pk] + M cn . Thus kyn+1 − pk ≤ (an + bn q)kyn − pk + M cn + n . (0.10) In view of the Lemma and considering tha fact that 0 ≤ an + bn q < 1, (0.10) yields limn→∞ kyn − pk = 0. Consequently, limn→∞ yn = p. (ii) Suppose limn→∞ yn = p. Following the same method as above, it is easy to see that, n = = − ≤ ≤ + = = kyn+1 − (an yn + bn T yn + cn un )k kyn+1 − (an + bn + cn )p + (an + bn + cn )p (an yn + bn T yn + cn un )k kyn+1 − pk + an kyn − pk + bn kT yn − pk + cn kun − pk kyn+1 − pk + an kyn − pk + bn [Φkp − T pk + qkp − yn k] cn kun − pk kyn+1 − pk + an kyn − pk + bn qkyn − pk] + cn kun − pk kyn+1 − pk + (an + bn q)kyn − pk + M cn . If n → ∞, it is clear that n → 0 and this completes the proof. Remark 3. If cn ≡ 0 in Theorem 1(ii), we obtain a corresponding stability result for the Mann iteration procedure in [3] and the corresponding stability result in [11] if specifically, Φ(d(x, T x)) is Ld(x, T x), L ≥ 0. Example 1. Let X and T be defined as in Theorem 1. Suppose 1 n 2 1 , an = n+3 , bn = n+3 , cn = n+3 , n ≥ 0. Then, Theorem 1 is kun k = n+7 satisfied. Theorem 2. Let X be a normed linear space, T : X → X a self map of X satisfying (0.4). Suppose T has a fixed point p. For arbitrary xo ∈ X, define Stability of some fixed point iteration procedures 35 sequence {xn }∞ n=0 iteratively by zn = a0n xn + b0n T xn + c0n vn xn+1 = f (T, xn ) = an xn + bn T zn + cn un , n ≥ 0 where {an }, {bn }, {cn }, {a0n }, {b0n } and {c0n } are sequences in [0,1] such that an + bn + cn = 1, a0n + b0n + c0n = 1 and {un }, {vn } are bounded sequences in X. Let {yn } be any sequence in X and define sn = a0n yn + b0n T yn + c0n vn and n = kyn+1 − an yn + bn T sn + cn un k, n ≥ 0 Assume that M = supn≥0 kun − pk and N = supn≥0 kvn − pk. If ∀ n, cn c0n and 0, then c0n → P∞ (i) n=o n < ∞ implies limn→∞ yn = p, i.e. Ishikawa iteration with errors is almost T-stable; (ii) limn→∞ yn = p implies limn→∞ n = 0. P∞ Proof. (i) Suppose n=o n < ∞, we shall establish that limn→∞ yn = p. In view of (0.4), it follows that kyn+1 − pk = kyn+1 − (an yn + bn T sn + cn un ) + (an yn + bn T sn + cn un ) − (an + bn + cn )pk ≤ n + an kyn − pk + bn kT sn − pk + cn kun − pk ≤ n + an kyn − pk + bn [Φkp − T pk + qkp − sn k] + cn kun − pk = n + an kyn − pk + bn qkp − sn k + cn kun − pk = n + an kp − yn k + bn qka0n yn + b0n T yn + c0n vn − (a0n + b0n + c0n )pk + cn kun − pk i.e. kyn+1 − pk ≤ n + an kp − yn k + bn qk(a0n (yn − p) + b0n (T yn − p) + c0n (vn − p)k + cn kun − pk ≤ n + an kp − yn k + bn qa0n kyn − pk + bn qb0n kT yn − pk + bn qc0n kvn − pk + cn kun − pk ≤ n + an kp − yn k + bn qa0n kyn − pk + bn qb0n [Φ(p − T p) + qkp − yn k] + bn qc0n kvn − pk + cn kun − pk = n + an kp − yn k + bn qa0n kyn − pk + bn q 2 b0n kp − yn k + bn qc0n kvn − pk + cn kun − pk = n + (an + bn qa0n + bn q 2 b0n )kp − yn k + bn qc0n kvn − pk + cn kun − pk ≤ (an + bn q)kyn − pk + (M cn + bn qc0n N ) + n . 36 J. O. Olaleru and A. A. Mogbademu Hence kyn+1 − pk ≤ (an + bn q)kyn − pk + (M cn + bn qc0n N ) + n . (0.11) In view of the Lemma, (0.11) yields limn→∞ yn = p. (ii) Suppose limn→∞ yn = p. n = = − ≤ ≤ + = = + = + ≤ + ≤ + = + = + ≤ kyn+1 − (an yn + bn T sn + cn un )k kyn+1 − (an + bn + cn )p + (an + bn + cn )p (an yn + bn T sn + cn un )k kyn+1 − pk + an kyn − pk + bn kT sn − pk + cn kun − pk kyn+1 − pk + an kyn − pk + bn [Φkp − T pk + qkp − sn k] cn kun − pk kyn+1 − pk + an kyn − pk + bn qkp − sn k + cn kun − pk kyn+1 − pk + an kp − yn k bn qk(a0n yn + b0n T yn + c0n vn − (a0n + b0n + c0n )pk + cn kun − pk kyn+1 − pk + an kp − yn k bn qk(a0n (yn − p) + b0n (T yn − p) + c0n (vn − p)k + cn kun − pk kyn+1 − pk + an kp − yn k + bn qa0n kyn − pk bn qb0n kT yn − pk + bn qc0n kvn − pk + cn kun − pk kyn+1 − pk + an kp − yn k + bn qa0n kyn − pk bn qb0n [Φ(p − T p) + qkp − yn k] + bn qc0n kvn − pk + cn kun − pk kyn+1 − pk + an kp − yn k + bn qa0n kyn − pk bn q 2 b0n kp − yn k + bn qc0n kvn − pk + cn kun − pk kyn+1 − pk + (an + bn qa0n + bn q 2 b0n )kp − yn k + bn qc0n kvn − pk cn kun − pk kyn+1 − pk + (an + bn q)kyn − pk + M cn + bn qc0n N. Thus n → 0 as n → ∞. Remark 4. If Φ(d(x, T x)) is Ld(x, T x), L ≥ 0 and ∀ n, cn = c0n = 0, then Theorem 2(ii) gives the corresponding result of [11]. 1 Example 2. Let X and T be defined as in Theorem 2. Suppose kun k = n+7 , 1 n+2 n 1 1 n 2 0 0 0 kvn k = n+1 , an = n+3 , an = 2n+3 , bn = n+3 , bn = 2n+3 , cn = n+3 , cn = 2n+3 , n ≥ 0. Then, Theorem 2 is satisfied. Theorem 3. Let X be a normed linear space and let T : X → X be a selfmap of X satisfying (0.4). Suppose T has a fixed point p. Let xo ∈ X and suppose that xn+1 = f (T, xn ) = ao xn + a1 T xn + a2 T 2 xn + ... + ak T k xn + wn un , n ≥ 0, k ≥ 1 an integer, where {un } is a bounded sequence P in X, {an } and {wn } are sequences in [0,1] such that limn→∞ un = 0, wn = ∞, a1 > 0 and ao + a1 + .... + ak + wn = 1 for any n ≥ 0. Let {yn } be any sequences in X and Pk suppose n = kyn+1 − i=0 ai T i yn + wn un k. If wn → 0, then Stability of some fixed point iteration procedures 37 P∞ (i) n=o n < ∞ implies limn→∞ yn = p i.e the Kirk iteration with errors is almost T-stable; (ii) limn→∞ yn = pPimplies limn→∞ n = 0. ∞ Proof. (i) Let n=o n < ∞. We shall establish that limn→∞ yn = p. It is clear that kT yn − pk = kT p − T yn k ≤ qkyn − pk and hence for i = 1, 2, ..., k, kT i yn − pk ≤ q i kyn − pk. Thus Pk kyn+1 − pk ≤ kyn+1 − ( i=0 ai T i yn + wn un )k Pk Pk + k i=0 ai T i yn + wn un − p( i=0 ai + wn )k Pk ≤ n + ( i=0 ai )kT i yn − T i pk + wn kun − pk Pk ≤ ( i=0 ai q i )kyn − pk + wn kun − pk + n . Pk Since i=0 ai q i < 1, in view of the Lemma , it follows that limn→∞ yn = p. (ii) If limn→∞ yn = p, it follows easily that k k X X ai q i )kyn − pk + wn kun k ai T i yn + wn un )k ≤ kyn+1 − pk + ( n = kyn+1 − ( i=0 i=0 and n → 0 as n → ∞. Thus the proof of the Theorem is complete. Remark 5. If Φ(d(x, T x)) is Ld(x, T x), L ≥ 0 and wn ≡ 0, then Theorem 2(ii) is the same as Theorem 7 of [11]. It is still an open problem to show that our Theorems can be proved for Tstability instead of almost T-stability for the iteration processes with errors. References [1] V.
