We construct a new iterative scheme by hybrid methods and prove strong convergence theorem for approximation of a common fixed point of two countable families of weak relatively nonexpansive mappings which is also a solution to a system of generalized mixed equilibrium problems in a uniformly convex real Banach space which is also uniformly smooth using the properties of generalized f -projection operator. Using this result, we discuss strong convergence theorem concerning general H-monotone mappings and system of generalized mixed equilibrium problems in Banach spaces. Our results extend many known recent results in the literature. 1. Introduction Let E be a real Banach space with dual E∗ , and let C be nonempty, closed and convex subset of E. A mapping T : C → C is called nonexpansive if Tx − Ty ≤ x − y, ∀x, y ∈ C. 1.1 A point x ∈ C is called a fixed point of T if Tx x. The set of fixed points of T is denoted by FT : {x ∈ C : Tx x}. 2 Abstract and Applied Analysis ∗ We denote by J the normalized duality mapping from E to 2E defined by 2 Jx f ∈ E∗ : x, f x2 f . 1.2 The following properties of J are well known the reader can consult 1–3 for more details. 1 If E is uniformly smooth, then J is norm-to-norm uniformly continuous on each bounded subset of E. 2 Jx / ∅, x ∈ E. 3 If E is reflexive, then J is a mapping from E onto E∗ . 4 If E is smooth, then J is single valued. Throughout this paper, we denote by φ, the functional on E × E defined by 2 φ x, y x2 − 2 x, J y y , ∀x, y ∈ E. 1.3 From 4, in uniformly convex and uniformly smooth Banach spaces, we have 2 2 x − y ≤ φ x, y ≤ x y , ∀x, y ∈ E. 1.4 Definition 1.1. Let C be a nonempty subset of E and let {Tn }∞ n0 be a countable family of mappings from C into E. A point p ∈ C is said to be an asymptotic fixed point of {Tn }∞ n0 if which converges weakly to p and lim x − T x C contains a sequence {xn }∞ n→∞ n n n 0. n0 ∞ The set of asymptotic fixed points of T is denoted by F{Tn }n0 . One says that {Tn }∞ n0 is countable family of relatively nonexpansive mappings see, e.g., 5 if the following conditions are satisfied: ∅; R1 F{Tn }∞ n0 / R2 φp, Tn x ≤ φp, x, for all x ∈ C, p ∈ FTn , n ≥ 0; n }∞ R3 ∩∞ FTn F{T n0 . n0 Definition 1.2. A point p ∈ C is said to be a strong asymptotic fixed point of {Tn }∞ n0 if C contains a sequence {xn }∞ n0 which converges strongly to p and limn → ∞ xn − Tn xn 0. The n }∞ set of strong asymptotic fixed points of T is denoted by F{T n0 . One says that a mapping ∞ {Tn }n0 is countable family of weak relatively nonexpansive mappings see, e.g., 5 if the following conditions are satisfied: R1 F{Tn }∞ / ∅; n0 R2 φp, Tn x ≤ φp, x, for all x ∈ C, p ∈ FTn , n ≥ 0; n }∞ R3 ∩∞ FTn F{T n0 . n0 Definition 1.3. Let C be a nonempty subset of E and let T be a mapping from C into E. A point p ∈ C is said to be an asymptotic fixed point of T if C contains a sequence {xn }∞ n0 which converges weakly to p and limn → ∞ xn − Txn 0. The set of asymptotic fixed points of T is denoted by FT. We say that a mapping T is relatively nonexpansive see, e.g., 6–11 if the following conditions are satisfied: Abstract and Applied Analysis 3 R1 FT / ∅; R2 φp, Tx ≤ φp, x, for all x ∈ C, p ∈ FT; R3 FT FT. Definition 1.4. A point p ∈ C is said to be an strong asymptotic fixed point of T if C contains a sequence {xn }∞ n0 which converges strongly to p and limn → ∞ xn − Txn 0. The set of strong asymptotic fixed points of T is denoted by FT. We say that a mapping T is weak relatively nonexpansive see, e.g., 12, 13 if the following conditions are satisfied: R1 FT / ∅; R2 φp, Tx ≤ φp, x, for all x ∈ C, p ∈ FT; R3 FT FT. Definition 1.3 Definition 1.4 is a special form of Definition 1.1 Definition 1.2 as Tn ≡ T, for all n ≥ 0. Furthermore, Su et al. 5 gave an example which is a countable family of weak relatively nonexpansive mappings but not a countable family of relatively nonexpansive mappings. It is obvious that relatively nonexpansive mapping is weak relatively nonexpansive mapping. In fact, for any mapping T : C → C, we have FT ⊂ FT ⊂ FT. Therefore, if T is relatively nonexpansive mapping, then FT FT FT. Kang et al. 12 gave an example of a weak relatively nonexpansive mapping which is not relatively nonexpansive. Let F : C×C → Ê be a bifunction, A : C → E∗ a mapping and ϕ : C → Ê a real-valued function. The generalized mixed equilibrium problem is to find x ∈ C see, e.g., 14–19 such that F x, y Ax, y − x ϕ y − ϕx ≥ 0, 1.5 for all y ∈ C. We will denote the solutions set of 1.5 by GMEPF, ϕ. Thus GMEP F, A, ϕ : x∗ ∈ C : F x∗ , y Ax∗ , y − x∗ ϕ y − ϕx∗ ≥ 0, ∀y ∈ C . 1.6 If ϕ 0 and A 0, then problem 1.5 reduces to an equilibrium problem studied by many authors see, e.g., 20–28, which is to find x∗ ∈ C such that F x∗ , y ≥ 0 1.7 for all y ∈ C. We shall denote the solutions set of 1.7 by EPF. If ϕ 0 and E H a real Hilbert space, then problem 1.5 reduces to a generalized equilibrium problem studied by many authors see, e.g., 29–31, which is to find x∗ ∈ C such that F x∗ , y Ax∗ , y − x∗ ≥ 0 for all y ∈ C. 1.8 4 Abstract and Applied Analysis If A 0 and E H, then problem 1.5 reduces to mixed equilibrium problem considered by many authors see, e.g., 32–34, which is to find x∗ ∈ C such that F x∗ , y ϕ y − ϕx∗ ≥ 0 1.9 for all y ∈ C. The mixed equilibrium problems include fixed point problems, optimization problems, variational inequality problems, Nash equilibrium problems, and equilibrium problems as special cases see, e.g., 35. Some methods have been proposed to solve the mixed equilibrium problem see, e.g., 33, 34, 36. Numerous problems in physics, optimization and economics reduce to find a solution of problem 1.8. In 9, Matsushita and Takahashi introduced a hybrid iterative scheme for approximation of fixed points of relatively nonexpansive mapping in a uniformly convex real Banach space which is also uniformly smooth: x0 ∈ C, yn J −1 αn Jxn 1 − αn JTxn , Hn w ∈ C : φ w, yn ≤ φw, xn , 1.10 Wn {w ∈ C : xn − w, Jx0 − Jxn }, xn1 ΠHn ∩Wn x0 , n≥0 ∅. They proved that {xn }∞ n0 converges strongly to ΠFT x0 , where FT / In 37, Plubtieng and Ungchittrakool introduced the following hybrid projection algorithm for a pair of relatively nonexpansive mappings: x0 ∈ C, 1 2 3 zn J −1 βn Jxn βn JTxn βn JSxn , yn J −1 αn Jx0 1 − αn Jzn , Cn z ∈ C : φ z, yn ≤ φz, xn αn x0 2 2w, Jxn − Jx0 , 1.11 Qn {z ∈ C : xn − z, Jxn − Jx0 ≤ 0}, xn1 PCn ∩Qn x0 , 1 2 3 1 2 3 where {αn }, {βn }, {βn }, and {βn } are sequences in 0, 1 satisfying βn βn βn 1 and T and S are relatively nonexpansive mappings and J is the single-valued duality mapping on E. They proved under the appropriate conditions on the parameters that the sequence {xn } generated by 1.11 converges strongly to a common fixed point of T and S. In 10, Takahashi and Zembayashi introduced the following hybrid iterative scheme for approximation of fixed point of relatively nonexpansive mapping which is also a solution to an equilibrium problem in a uniformly convex real Banach space which is also uniformly Abstract and Applied Analysis 5 smooth: x0 ∈ C, C1 C, x1 ΠC1 x0 , yn J −1 αn Jxn 1 − αn JTxn , 1 y − un , Jun − Jyn ≥ 0, ∀y ∈ C, F un , y rn Cn1 w ∈ Cn : φw, un ≤ φw, xn , xn1 ΠCn 1 x0 , 1.12 n ≥ 1, where J is the duality mapping on E. Then, they proved that {xn }∞ n0 converges strongly to ∅. ΠΩ x0 , where Ω EPF ∩ FT / Recently, Li et al. 38 introduced the following hybrid iterative scheme for approximation of fixed points of a relatively nonexpansive mapping using the properties of generalized f-projection operator in a uniformly smooth real Banach space which is also uniformly convex: x0 ∈ C, yn J −1 αn Jxn 1 − αn JTxn , Cn1 w ∈ Cn : G w, Jyn ≤ Gw, Jxn , f xn1 ΠCn 1 x0 , 1.13 n ≥ 1. They proved a strong convergence theorem for finding an element in the fixed points set of T. We remark here that the results of Li et al. 38 extended and improved on the results of Matsushita and Takahashi 9. Quite recently, motivated by the results of Matsushita and Takahashi 9 and Plubtieng and Ungchittrakool 37, Su et al. 5 proved the following strong convergence theorem by hybrid iterative scheme for approximation of common fixed point of two countable families of weak relatively nonexpansive mappings in uniformly convex and uniformly smooth Banach space. Theorem 1.5. Let E be a uniformly convex real Banach space which is also uniformly smooth. Let C be ∞ a nonempty, closed and convex subset of E. Suppose {Tn }∞ n1 and {Sn }n1 are two countable families of ∞ ∅. weak relatively nonexpansive mappings of C into itself such that Ω : ∩∞ n1 FTn ∩∩n1 FSn / ∞ Suppose that {xn }n0 is iteratively generated by x0 ∈ C, 1 2 3 zn J −1 βn Jxn βn JTn xn βn JSn xn , yn J −1 αn Jxn 1 − αn Jzn , Cn w ∈ Cn−1 ∩ Qn−1 : φ w, yn ≤ φw, xn , C0 w ∈ C : φ w, y0 ≤ φw, x0 , Qn {w ∈ Cn−1 ∩ Qn−1 : xn − w, Jx0 − Jxn ≥ 0}, Q0 C, xn1 ΠCn ∩Qn x0 , n ≥ 1, 1.14 6 Abstract and Applied Analysis with the conditions 1 2 i lim infn → ∞ βn βn > 0; 1 3 ii lim infn → ∞ βn βn > 0; iii 0 ≤ αn ≤ α < 1 for some α ∈ 0, 1. Then, {xn }∞ n0 converges strongly to ΠΩ x0 . Motivated by the above-mentioned results and the ongoing research, it is our purpose in this paper to prove a strong convergence theorem for two countable families of weak relatively nonexpansive mappings in a uniformly convex real Banach space which is also uniformly smooth using the properties of generalized f-projection operator. Our results extend the results of Li et al. 38, Su et al. 5 and many other recent known results in the literature. 2. Preliminaries Let E be a real Banach space. The modulus of smoothness of E is the function ρE : 0, ∞ → 0, ∞ defined by 1 x y x − y − 1 : x ≤ 1, y ≤ t . ρE t : sup 2 2.1 E is uniformly smooth if and only if lim t→0 ρE t 0. t 2.2 Let dim E ≥ 2. The modulus of convexity of E is the function δE : 0, 2 → 0, 1 defined by x y δE : inf 1 − : x y 1; x − y . 2 2.3 E is uniformly convex if for any ∈ 0, 2, there exists a δ δ > 0 such that if x, y ∈ E with x ≤ 1, y ≤ 1, and x − y ≥ , then 1/2x y ≤ 1 − δ. Equivalently, E is uniformly convex if and only if δE > 0 for all ∈ 0, 2. A normed space E is called strictly convex if for all x, y ∈ E, x / y, x y 1, we have λx 1 − λy < 1, for all λ ∈ 0, 1. Let E be a smooth, strictly convex and reflexive real Banach space and let C be a nonempty, closed and convex subset of E. Following Alber 39, the generalized projection ΠC from E onto C is defined by ΠC x : arg min φ y, x , y∈C ∀x ∈ E. 2.4 The existence and uniqueness of ΠC follows from the property of the functional φx, y and strict monotonicity of the mapping J see, e.g., 3, 4, 39–41. If E is a Hilbert space, then ΠC is the metric projection of H onto C. Abstract and Applied Analysis 7 Next, we recall the concept of generalized f-projector operator, together with its properties. Let G : C × E∗ → Ê ∪ {∞} be a functional defined as follows: 2 G ξ, ψ ξ2 − 2 ξ, ψ ψ 2ρfξ, 2.5 where ξ ∈ C, ψ ∈ E∗ , ρ is a positive number and f : C → Ê ∪ {∞} is proper, convex and lower semi-continuous. From the definitions of G and f, it is easy to see the following properties: i Gξ, ψ is convex and continuous with respect to ψ when ξ is fixed; ii Gξ, ψ is convex and lower semi-continuous with respect to ξ when ψ is fixed. Definition 2.1 Wu and Huang 42. Let E be a real Banach space with its dual E∗ . Let C be f a nonempty, closed and convex subset of E. One says that ΠC : E∗ → 2C is a generalized f-projection operator if f ΠC ψ u ∈ C : G u, ψ inf G ξ, ψ , ξ∈C ∀ψ ∈ E∗ . 2.6 For the generalized f-projection operator, Wu and Huang 42 proved the following theorem basic properties. Lemma 2.2 Wu and Huang 42. Let E be a real reflexive Banach space with its dual E∗ . Let C be a nonempty, closed, and convex subset of E. Then the following statements hold: f i ΠC is a nonempty closed convex subset of C for all ψ ∈ E∗ ; f ii if E is smooth, then for all ψ ∈ E∗ , x ∈ ΠC if and only if x − y, ψ − Jx ρf y − ρfx ≥ 0, ∀y ∈ C; 2.7 iii if E is strictly convex and f : C → Ê ∪ {∞} is positive homogeneous (i.e., ftx tfx f for all t > 0 such that tx ∈ C where x ∈ C), then ΠC is a single valued mapping. Fan et al. 43 showed that the condition f is positive homogeneous which appeared in Lemma 2.2 and can be removed. Lemma 2.3 Fan et al. 43. Let E be a real reflexive Banach space with its dual E∗ and C a f nonempty, closed and convex subset of E. Then if E is strictly convex, then ΠC is a single-valued mapping. Recall that J is a single valued mapping when E is a smooth Banach space. There exists a unique element ψ ∈ E∗ such that ψ Jx for each x ∈ E. This substitution in 4.3 gives Gξ, Jx ξ2 − 2ξ, Jx x2 2ρfξ. Now, we consider the second generalized f-projection operator in a Banach space. 2.8 8 Abstract and Applied Analysis Definition 2.4. Let E be a real Banach space and C a nonempty, closed, and convex subset of f E. One says that ΠC : E → 2C is a generalized f-projection operator if f ΠC x u ∈ C : Gu, Jx inf Gξ, Jx , ∀x ∈ E. ξ∈C 2.9 Obviously, the definition of {Tn }∞ n0 is a countably family of weak relatively nonexpansive mappings is equivalent to ∅; R 1 F{Tn }∞ n0 / R 2 Gp, JTn x ≤ Gp, Jx, for all x ∈ C, p ∈ FTn , n ≥ 0; ∞ R 3 ∩∞ n0 FTn F{Tn }n0 . Lemma 2.5 Li et al. 38. Let E be a Banach space and f : E → convex functional. Then there exists x∗ ∈ E∗ and α ∈ Ê such that fx ≥ x, x∗ α, Ê ∪{∞} a lower semi-continuous ∀x ∈ E. 2.10 f We know that the following lemmas hold for operator ΠC . Lemma 2.6 Li et al. 38. Let C be a nonempty, closed, and convex subset of a smooth and reflexive Banach space E. Then the following statements hold: f i ΠC x is a nonempty closed and convex subset of C for all x ∈ E; f ii for all x ∈ E, x ∈ ΠC x if and only if x − y, Jx − J x ρf y − ρfx ≥ 0, ∀y ∈ C; 2.11 f iii if E is strictly convex, then ΠC x is a single-valued mapping. Lemma 2.7 Li et al. 38. Let C be a nonempty, closed, and convex subset of a smooth and reflexive f Banach space E. Let x ∈ E and x ∈ ΠC . Then φ y, x Gx, Jx ≤ G y, Jx , ∀y ∈ C. 2.12 Lemma 2.8 Su et al. 5. Let C be a nonempty, closed, and convex subset of a smooth, strictly convex Banach space E. Let T be a weak relatively nonexpansive mapping of C into itself. Then FT is closed and convex. Also, this following lemma will be used in the sequel. Lemma 2.9 Kamimura and Takahashi 4. Let C be a nonempty, closed, and convex subset of a ∞ smooth, uniformly convex Banach space E. Let {xn }∞ n1 and {yn }n1 be sequences in E such that either ∞ ∞ {xn }n1 or {yn }n1 is bounded. If limn → ∞ φxn , yn 0, then limn → ∞ xn − yn 0. Abstract and Applied Analysis 9 Lemma 2.10 Cho et al. 44. Let E be a uniformly convex real Banach space. For arbitrary r > 0, let Br 0 : {x ∈ E : x ≤ r} and λ, μ, γ ∈ 0, 1 such that λ μ γ 1. Then, there exists a continuous strictly increasing convex function g : 0, 2r −→ Ê, g0 0 2.13 such that for every x, y, z ∈ Br 0, the following inequality holds: λx μy γ z2 ≤ λx2 μy2 − λμg x − y . For solving the equilibrium problem for a bifunction F : C × C → that F satisfies the following conditions: 2.14 Ê, let us assume A1 Fx, x 0 for all x ∈ C; A2 F is monotone, that is, Fx, y Fy, x ≤ 0 for all x, y ∈ C; A3 for each x, y, z ∈ C, lim supt↓0 Ftz 1 − tx, y ≤ Fx, y; A4 for each x ∈ C, y → Fx, y is convex and lower semicontinuous. Lemma 2.11 Liu et al. 14 and Zhang 19. Let C be a nonempty, closed, and convex subset of a smooth, strictly convex and reflexive Banach space E. Assume that F : C × C → Ê satisfies (A1)– (A4), A : C → E∗ a continuous and monotone mapping, and ϕ : C → Ê a lower semicontinuous and convex functional. For r > 0 and x ∈ E, there exists z ∈ C such that 1 Q z, y y − z, Jz − Jx ≥ 0, r ∀y ∈ C, 2.15 where Qz, y Fz, y Az, y − z ϕy − ϕz, z, y ∈ C. Furthermore, define a mapping Tr : E → C as follows: Tr x 1 z ∈ C : Q z, y y − z, Jz − Jx ≥ 0, ∀y ∈ C . r 2.16 Then, the following hold: i Tr is single-valued; ii for any x, y ∈ E, Tr x − Tr y, JTr x − JTr y ≤ Tr x − Tr y, Jx − Jy ; iii FTr GMEPF, A, ϕ; iv GMEPF, A, ϕ is closed and convex. 2.17 10 Abstract and Applied Analysis Lemma 2.12 Zhang 19. Let C be a nonempty, closed, and convex subset of a smooth, strictly convex, and reflexive Banach space E. Assume that F : C × C → Ê satisfies (A1)–(A4), and let r > 0. Then for each x ∈ E and q ∈ FTr , φ q, Tr x φTr x, x ≤ φ q, x . 2.18 For the rest of this paper, the sequence {xn }∞ n0 converges strongly to p shall be denoted 1 2 1 1 2 1 by xn → p as n → ∞, and we shall assume that βn , βn , βn ∈ 0, 1 such that βn βn βn 1, for all n ≥ 0. 3. Main Results Theorem 3.1. Let E be a uniformly convex real Banach space which is also uniformly smooth. Let C be a nonempty, closed, and convex subset of E.

Then, {xn }∞ n0 converges strongly to ΠΩ x0 . f Abstract and Applied Analysis 11 ∞ Proof. By Lemma 2.8, we know that ∩∞ n0 FTn ∩ ∩n0 FSn is closed and convex. We also m know from Lemma 2.11iv that ∩k1 GMEPFk , Ak , ϕk is closed and convex. Hence, Ω ∞ ∞ ∩m k1 GMEPFk , Ak , ϕk ∩ ∩n0 FTn ∩ ∩n0 FSn is a nonempty, closed and convex subset f of C. Consequently, ΠΩ x0 is well defined. We first show that Cn , for all n ≥ 0 is closed and convex. It is obvious that C0 C is closed and convex. Thus, we only need to show that Cn is closed and convex for each n ≥ 1. Since Gz, Jun ≤ Gz, Jxn is equivalent to 3.2 2z, Jxn − z, Jun ≤ xn 2 − un 2 , f this implies that Cn1 is closed and convex for all n ≥ 0. This shows that ΠCn1 x0 is well defined Q Q Q Q k 2 1 Trk−1k−1,n · · · Tr2 ,n Tr1 ,n , k 1, 2, . . . , m and θn0 I for all n ≥ 1, we for all n ≥ 0. By taking θnk Trk ,n m obtain un θn yn . We next show that Ω ⊂ Cn , for all n ≥ 0. For n 0, we have Ω ⊂ C C0 . Then for each x∗ ∈ Ω, we obtain Gx∗ , Jun ≤ G x∗ , Jθnm yn ≤ G x∗ , Jyn Gx∗ , αn Jxn 1 − αn Jzn x∗ 2 − 2αn x∗ , Jxn − 21 − αn x∗ , Jzn αn Jxn 1 − αn Jzn 2 2ρfx∗ ≤ x∗ 2 − 2αn x∗ , Jxn − 21 − αn x∗ , Jzn αn Jxn 2 1 − αn Jzn 2 2ρfx∗ αn Gx∗ , Jxn 1 − αn Gx∗ , Jzn 1 2 3 αn Gx∗ , Jxn 1 − αn G x∗ , βn Jxn βn JTn xn βn JSn xn 1 2 ≤ αn Gx∗ , Jxn 1 − αn x∗ 2 − 2βn x∗ , Jxn − 2βn x∗ , JTn xn 3 − 2βn x∗ , JSn xn 1 2 3 βn xn 2 βn Tn xn 2 βn Sn xn 2 2ρfx∗ 1 2 3 αn Gx∗ , Jxn 1 − αn βn Gx∗ , Jxn βn Gx∗ , JTn xn βn Gx∗ , JSnxn ≤ Gx∗ , Jxn . 3.3 Ω ⊂ Cn , for all n ≥ 0. It follows that {xn }∞ So, x∗ ∈ Cn . This implies that ∅ / n0 is well defined for all n ≥ 0. 12 Abstract and Applied Analysis We now show that limn → ∞ Gxn , Jx0 exists. Since f : E → Ê is a convex and lower semi-continuous, applying Lemma 2.5, we see that there exists u∗ ∈ E∗ and α ∈ Ê such that f y ≥ y, u∗ α, ∀y ∈ E. 3.4 It follows that Gxn , Jx0 xn 2 − 2xn , Jx0 x0 2 2ρfxn ≥ xn 2 − 2xn , Jx0 x0 2 2ρxn , u∗ 2ρα xn 2 − 2xn , Jx0 − ρu∗ x0 2 2ρα ≥ xn 2 − 2xn Jx0 − ρu∗ x0 2 2ρα 2 2 xn − Jx0 − ρu∗ x0 2 − Jx0 − ρu∗ 2ρα. 3.5 f Since xn ΠCn x0 , it follows from 3.5 that 2 2 Gx∗ , Jx0 ≥ Gxn , Jx0 ≥ xn − Jx0 − ρu∗ x0 2 − Jx0 − ρu∗ 2ρα 3.6 ∞ for each x∗ ∈ Ω. This implies that {xn }∞ n0 is bounded and so is {Gxn , Jx0 }n0 . By the f construction of Cn , we have that Cm ⊂ Cn and xm ΠCm x0 ∈ Cn for any positive integer m ≥ n. It then follows from Lemma 2.7 that φxm , xn Gxn , Jx0 ≤ Gxm , Jx0 . 3.7 φxm , xn ≥ xm − xn 2 ≥ 0. 3.8 It is obvious that In particular, φxn1 , xn Gxn , Jx0 ≤ Gxn1 , Jx0 , φxn1 , xn ≥ xn1 − xn 2 ≥ 0, 3.9 ∞ and so {Gxn , Jx0 }∞ n0 is nondecreasing. It follows that the limit of {Gxn , Jx0 }n0 exists. By f the fact that Cm ⊂ Cn and xm ΠCm x0 ∈ Cn for any positive integer m ≥ n, we obtain φxm , un ≤ φxm , xn . 3.10 Abstract and Applied Analysis 13 Now, 3.7 implies that φxm , un ≤ φxm , xn ≤ Gxm , Jx0 − Gxn , Jx0 . 3.11 Taking the limit as m, n → ∞ in 3.11, we obtain lim φxm , xn 0. 3.12 n→∞ It then follows from Lemma 2.9 that xm − xn → 0 as m, n → ∞. Hence, {xn }∞ n0 is Cauchy. Since E is a Banach space and C is closed and convex, then there exists p ∈ C such that xn → p as n → ∞. Now since φxm , xn → 0 as m, n → ∞ we have in particular that φxn1 , xn → 0 as n → ∞ and this further implies that limn → ∞ xn1 − xn 0. Since xn1 ΠCn1 x0 ∈ Cn1 , we have φxn1 , un ≤ φxn1 , xn , ∀n ≥ 0. 3.13 Then, we obtain lim φxn1 , un 0. n→∞ 3.14 Since E is uniformly convex and smooth, we have from Lemma 2.9 that lim xn1 − xn 0 lim xn1 − un . 3.15 xn − un ≤ xn1 − xn xn1 − un . 3.16 lim xn − un 0. 3.17 n→∞ n→∞ So, Hence, n→∞ Since J is uniformly norm-to-norm continuous on bounded sets and limn → ∞ xn − un 0, we obtain lim Jxn − un 0. n→∞ 3.18 14 Abstract and Applied Analysis Since {xn } is bounded, so are {zn }, {JTn xn }, and {JSn xn }. Let r : supn≥0 {xn , Tn xn , Sn xn }.

From limn → ∞ xn − un 0 and limn → ∞ Jxn − Jun 0, we obtain Gx∗ , Jxn − Gx∗ , Jun −→ 0, n −→ ∞. 3.22 1 2 Using the condition lim infn → ∞ βn βn > 0, we have lim gJxn − JTn xn 0. 3.23 n→∞ By property of g, we have limn → ∞ Jxn −JTn xn 0. Since J −1 is also uniformly norm-to-norm continuous on bounded sets, we have lim xn − Tn xn 0. 3.24 lim xn − Sn xn 0. 3.25 n→∞ Similarly, we can show that n→∞ ∞ Since xn → p and {Tn }, {Sn } are uniformly closed, we have p ∈ ∩∞ n0 FTn ∩ ∩n0 FSn . Next, we show that p ∈ ∩m k1 GMEPFk , Ak , ϕk . Now, by Lemma 2.12, we obtain φ un , yn φ θnm yn , yn ≤ φ x∗ , yn − φ x∗ , θnm yn ≤ φx∗ , xn − φx∗ , un −→ 0, 3.26 n −→ ∞. Using Lemma 2.9, we have limn → ∞ un − yn 0. Furthermore, xn − yn ≤ xn − un un − yn −→ 0, n −→ ∞. 3.27 16 Abstract and Applied Analysis Since xn → p as n → ∞ and xn − yn → 0 as n → ∞, then yn → p as n → ∞. By the fact that θnk , k 1, 2, . . . , m is relatively nonexpansive and using Lemma 2.12 again, we have that φ θnk yn , yn ≤ φ x∗ , yn − φ x∗ , θnk yn ≤ φx∗ , xn − φ x∗ , θnk yn . 3.28 Observe that φx∗ , un φ x∗ , θnm yn Q Qm−1 Q Qk−1 Q Q φ x∗ , Trm,nm Trm−1,n · · · Trk,nk Trk−1,n · · · Tr2,n2 Tr1,n1 yn 3.29 Q Qm−1 φ x∗ , Trm,nm Trm−1,n · · · θnk yn ≤ φ x∗ , θnk yn . Using 3.29 in 3.28, we obtain φ θnk yn , yn ≤ φx∗ , xn − φx∗ , un −→ 0, n −→ ∞. 3.30 Then Lemma 2.9 implies that limn → ∞ yn − θnk yn 0, k 1, 2, . . . , m. Now p − θnk yn ≤ yn − θnk yn yn − p −→ 0, n −→ ∞, k 1, 2, . . . , m. 3.31 Similarly, limn → ∞ p − θnk−1 yn 0, k 1, 2, . . . , m. This further implies that lim θnk yn − θnk−1 yn 0. n→∞ 3.32 Also, since J is uniformly norm-to-norm continuous on bounded sets and using 3.32, we obtain lim Jθnk yn − Jθnk−1 yn 0. n→∞ 3.33 Since lim infn → ∞ rk,n > 0, k 1, 2, . . . , m, lim n→∞ k Jθn yn − Jθnk−1 yn rk,n 0. 3.34 Abstract and Applied Analysis 17 By Lemma 2.11, we have that for each k 1, 2, . . . , m 1 Qk θnk yn , y y − θnk yn , Jθnk yn − Jθnk−1 yn ≥ 0, rk,n ∀y ∈ C. 3.35 Furthermore, using A2 we obtain 1 rk,n y − θnk yn , Jθnk yn − Jθnk−1 yn ≥ Qk y, θnk yn . 3.36 By A4, 3.34, and θnk yn → p, we have for each k 1, 2, . . . , m Qk y, p ≤ 0, ∀y ∈ C. 3.37 For fixed y ∈ C, let zt,y : ty 1 − tp for all t ∈ 0, 1. This implies that zt ∈ C. This yields that Qk zt , p ≤ 0. It follows from A1 and A4 that 0 Qk zt , zt ≤ tQk zt , y 1 − tQk zt , p ≤ tQk zt , y 3.38 0 ≤ Qk zt , y . 3.39 and hence From condition A3, we obtain Qk p, y ≥ 0, ∀y ∈ C. 3.40 This implies that p ∈ GMEPFk , Ak , ϕk , k 1, 2, . . . , m. Thus, p ∈ ∩m GMEPFk , Ak , ϕk . k1 ∞ ∞ GMEPF , A , ϕ ∩ ∩ FT ∩ ∩ FS . Hence, we have p ∈ Ω ∩m k k k n n n0 n0 k1 f GMEPFk , Ak , ϕk ∩ ∩∞ Finally, we show that p ΠΩ x0 . Since Ω ∩m n0 FTn ∩ k1 f ∩∞ n0 FSn is a closed and convex set, from Lemma 2.6, we know that ΠΩ x0 is single valued f f and denote w ΠΩ x0 . Since xn ΠCn x0 and w ∈ Ω ⊂ Cn , we have Gxn , Jx0 ≤ Gw, Jx0 , ∀n ≥ 0. 3.41 We know that Gξ, Jϕ is convex and lower semi-continuous with respect to ξ when ϕ is fixed. This implies that G p, Jx0 ≤ lim inf Gxn , Jx0 ≤ lim sup Gxn , Jx0 ≤ Gw, Jx0 . n→∞ f n→∞ From the definition of ΠΩ x0 and p ∈ Ω, we see that p w.

Corollary 3.3 extends and improves on Theorem 1.5. In fact, the iterative procedure 3.44 is simpler than 1.14 in the following two aspects: a the process of computing Qn {w ∈ Cn−1 ∩ Qn−1 : xn − w, Jx0 − Jxn ≥ 0} is removed; b the process of computing ΠCn ∩Qn is replaced by computing ΠCn .

A set-valued mapping M is said to be i monotone if x1 − x2 , y1 − y2 ≥ 0 for each xi ∈ DM and yi ∈ Mxi , i 1, 2; ii r-strongly monotone if x1 − x2 , y1 − y2 ≥ rx1 − x2 2 for each xi ∈ DM and yi ∈ Mxi , i 1, 2; iii maximal monotone if M is monotone and its graph GM : {x, y : y ∈ Mx} is not properly contained in the graph of any other monotone operator; iv a general H-monotone if M is monotone and H λME E∗ holds for every λ > 0, where H is a mapping from E to E∗ . We denote the set {x ∈ E : 0 ∈ Mx} by M−1 0. From Li et al. 38, we know that if H : E → E∗ ∗ is strictly monotone and M : E → 2E is general H-monotone mapping, then M−1 0 is closed and convex. Furthermore, for every λ > 0 and x∗ ∈ E∗ , there exists a unique x ∈ DM such that x H λM−1 x∗ . Thus, we can define a single-value mapping Tλ : E → DM by Tλ x H λM−1 Hx. It is obvious that M−1 0 FTλ for all λ > 0. Lemma 4.1 Alber, 39. If E is a uniformly convex and uniformly smooth Banach space, δE is the modulus of convexity of E, and ρE t is the modulus of smoothness of E, then the inequalities 2 8d δE x − ξ 4d hold for all x and ξ in E, where d ≤ φx, ξ ≤ 4d ρE 2 4x − ξ d 4.1 x2 ξ2 /2. Lemma 4.2 Xia and Huang 45. Let E be a Banach space with dual space E∗ , H : E → E∗ a ∗ strictly monotone mapping, and M : E → 2E a general H-monotone mapping. Then i H λM−1 is a single-valued mapping; ii if E is reflexive and M : E → 2E is r-strongly monotone, H λM−1 is Lipschitz continuous with constant 1/λr, where r > 0. ∗ Theorem 4.3. Let E be a uniformly convex real Banach space which is also uniformly smooth with δE ≥ k2 and ρE t ≤ ct2 for some k, c > 0. For each k 1, 2, . . . , m, let Fk be a bifunction from E × E satisfying (A1)–(A4), Ak : E → E∗ a continuous and monotone mapping, and ϕk : E → Ê a lower semicontinuous and convex functional. Suppose that H : E → E∗ is a strictly monotone ∗ and β-Lipschitz continuous mapping and Mi : E → 2E is a general H-monotone mapping and ri -strongly monotone mapping with ri > 0, i 1, 2 such that Ω : ∩m GMEPFk , Ak , ϕk ∩ M1−1 0 ∩ k1 M2−1 0 / ∅.

Then, {xn }∞ n0 converges strongly to ΠΩ x0 . f Proof. We only need to prove that {TλMn 1 } and {TλMn 2 } are countable families of weak M1 −1 relatively nonexpansive mappings with common fixed points sets ∩∞ n0 FTλn M1 0 and M2 M1 −1 −1 ∞ ∅. Secondly, we show ∩∞ n0 FTλn M2 0, respectively. Firstly, we have ∩n0 FTλn M1 0 / that φp, TλMn 1 w ≤ φp, w, for all w ∈ E, p ∈ FTλMn 1 , n ≥ 0. Now, by Lemma 4.2 and the Lipschitz continuity of H, we have M1 M Tλn p − Tλn 1 w H λn M1 −1 Hp − H λn M1 −1 Hw ≤ 1 Hp − Hw λn r1 ≤ β p − w. λn r1 4.3 Abstract and Applied Analysis 21 By 4.3 and Lemma 4.1, φ p, TλMn 1 w φ TλMn 1 p, TλMn 1 w ⎞ ⎛ 4TλMn 1 p − TλMn 1 w 2 ⎠ ≤ 4d ρE ⎝ d 2 ≤ 64cTλMn 1 p − TλMn 1 w ≤ 64cβ2 λ2n r12 φ p, w ≥ 8d2 δE 4.4 2 p − w , p − w 4d ≥ 2 1 k p − w . 2 Since 64cβ2 ≤ 1/2kλ2n r12 , it follows from 4.4 that φp, TλMn 1 w ≤ φp, w, for all w ∈ E, M1 M1 −1 } ∩∞ p ∈ FTλMn 1 , n ≥ 0. Thirdly, we show that F{T n0 FTλn M1 0. We first show λn M1 M1 } ⊂ M−1 0. Let p ∈ F{T }, then there exists {xn } ⊂ E such that xn → p and that F{T 1 λn λn limn → ∞ xn − TλMn 1 xn 0. Since H is β-Lipschitz continuous, M M Hxn − HTλn 1 xn ≤ βxn − Tλn 1 xn . 4.5 1 Hxn − HTλMn 1 xn −→ 0. λn 4.6 Letting n → ∞, we obtain It follows from 1/λn Hxn − HTλMn 1 xn ∈ M1 TλMn 1 and the monotonicity of M1 that x − TλMn 1 , x∗ − 1 Hxn − HTλMn 1 xn λn ≥0 4.7 for all ∈ DM1 and x∗ ∈ M1 x. Taking the limit as n → ∞, we obtain x − p, x∗ ≥ 0 4.8 for all ∈ DM1 and x∗ ∈ M1 x. By the maximality of M1 , we know that p ∈ M1−1 0. On M1 for all n ≥ 0, therefore, the other hand, we know that FTλMn 1 M1−1 0, FTλMn 1 ⊂ FT λn ∞ T M1 . Thus, we have proved that {T M1 } is a countable family of M−1 0 ∩∞ FT M1 F∩ 1 n0 λn n0 λn λn M1 −1 weak relatively nonexpansive mappings with common fixed points sets ∩∞ n0 FTλn M1 0.

Then, we can define Jλ JλM−1 J for all λ > 0. We know that Jλ is relatively nonexpansive and therefore weak relatively nonexpansive and M−1 0 FJλ for all λ > 0 see, e.g., 2, where FJλ denotes the fixed points set of Jλ . By Corollary 3.3, we obtain the following theorem. Theorem 4.4. Let E be a uniformly convex real Banach space which is also uniformly smooth.
