Introduction and preliminaries Let X be a Banach space and let S, T be mappings from X to X. The pair of mean nonexpansive mappings was introduced by Bose in 1: Sx − T y ≤ ax − y b x − Sx y − T y c x − T y y − Sx , 1.1 for all x, y ∈ X, a, b, c ∈ 0, 1, a 2b 2c ≤ 1. The Ishikawa iteration sequence {xn } of S and T was defined by yn 1 − βn xn βn Sxn , xn1 1 − αn xn αn T yn , 1.2 where x0 ∈ X, αn , βn ∈ 0, 1. The recursion formulas 1.2 were first introduced in 1994 by Rashwan and Saddeek 2 in the framework of Hilbert spaces. In recent years, several authors see 2–6 have studied the convergence of iterations to a common fixed point for a pair of mappings. Rashwan has studied the convergence of Mann iterations to a common fixed point see 5 and proved that the Ishikawa iterations converge 2 Fixed Point Theory and Applications to a unique common fixed point in Hilbert spaces see 2. Recently, Ćirić has proved that if the sequence of Ishikawa iterations sequence {xn } associated with S and T converges to p, then p is the common fixed point of S and T see 7. In 4, 6, the authors studied the same problem. In 1, Bose defined the pair of mean nonexpansive mappings, and proved the existence of the fixed point in Banach spaces. In particular, he proved the following theorem. Theorem 1.1 see 1. Let X be a uniformly convex Banach space and K a nonempty closed convex subset of X, S : K→K and T : K→K are a pair of mean nonexpansive mappings, and c / 0. Then, i S and T have a common fixed point u; ii further, if b / 0, then a u is the unique common fixed point and unique as a fixed point of each S and T , b the sequence {xn } defined by x1 Sx0 , x2 T x1 , x3 Sx2 . . . , for any x0 ∈ K, converges strongly to u. It is our purpose in this paper to consider an iterative scheme, which converges to a common fixed point of the pair of mean nonexpansive mappings. Theorem 2.1 extends and improves the corresponding results in 1. 2. Main results Now we prove the following theorem which is the main result of this paper. Theorem 2.1. Let X be a uniformly convex Banach space, S : X→X and T : X→X are a pair of mean nonexpansive with a nonempty common fixed points set; if b > 0, 0 < α ≤ αn ≤ 1/2, 0 ≤ βn ≤ β < 1, then the Ishikawa sequence {xn } converges to the common fixed point of S and T . Proof. First, we show that the sequence {xn } is bounded. For a common fixed point p of S and T , we have T x − p T x − Sp ≤ ax − p b x − T x p − Sp c x − Sp p − T x ≤ ax − p b x − p p − T x c x − Sp p − T x . 2.1 Let L a b c/1 − b − c, by a 2b 2c ≤ 1, it is easy to see that a b c ≤ 1 − b − c, thus 0 ≤ L ≤ 1 and T x − p ≤ Lx − p ≤ x − p. Similarly, we have Sx − p ≤ Lx − p ≤ x − p, xn1 − p 1 − αn xn αn T yn − p 1 − αn xn − p αn T yn − p ≤ 1 − αn xn − p αn T yn − p ≤ 1 − αn xn − p αn Lyn − p 2.2 ≤ 1 − αn xn − p αn 1 − βn xn βn Sxn − p 1 − αn xn − p αn 1 − βn xn − p βn Sxn − p ≤ 1 − αn xn − p αn 1 − βn xn − p αn βn Sxn − p ≤ 1 − αn xn − p αn 1 − βn xn − p αn βn xn − p 1 − αn αn 1 − βn αn βn xn − p xn − p. Z. Gu and Y. Li 3 So xn1 − p ≤ xn − p ≤ xn−1 − p ≤ · · · ≤ x0 − p. 2.3 Hence, {xn } is bounded. Second, we show that lim xn − T yn 0. n→∞ 2.4 We recall that Banach space X is called uniformly convex if δε > 0 for every ε > 0, where the modulus δε of convexity of X is defined by x y : x ≤ 1, y ≤ 1, x − y ≥ ε , δε inf 1 − 2 2.5 for every ε with 0 ≤ ε ≤ 2. It is easy to see that Banach space X is uniformly convex if and only if for any xn , yn ∈ BX {x | x ≤ 1}, xn yn → 2 implies xn − yn → 0. Assume that lim n→∞ xn − T yn / 0, then there exist a subsequence {xnk } of {xn } and a real number ε0 > 0, such that xn − T y n ≥ ε 0 , k k k 1, 2, 3, . . . . 2.6 On the other hand, for a common fixed point p of T and S, we have xn − T yn ≤ xn − p T yn − p k k k k ≤ xnk − p Lynk − p xnk − p L 1 − βnk xnk βnk Sxnk − p xnk − p L 1 − βnk xnk − p βnk Sxnk − p ≤ xnk − p 1 − βnk Lxnk − p βnk LSxnk − p ≤ 1 1 − βnk L βnk L2 xnk − p ≤ 1 Lxnk − p ≤ 2xnk − p. 2.7 xn − p ≥ 1 xn − T y ≥ ε0 ε1 > 0. k k nk 2 2 2.8 Thus, Because T yn − p ≤ yn − p ≤ 1 − β xn β Sxn − p n n 1 − βn xn − p βn Sxn − p ≤ 1 − βn xn − p βn Sxn − p ≤ 1 − β xn − p β xn − p ≤ xn − p, n 2.9 n we know {xn } is bounded, then there exists M > 0, such that xn − p ≤ M. Thus, T yn − p ≤ xn − p ≤ M. 4 Fixed Point Theory and Applications Furthermore, we have x −p xn − T yn T ynk − p ε nk k k − ≥ 1 > 0. xn − p xnk − p xnk − p M k From x −p nk 1, x nk − p Ty − p nk ≤ L ≤ 1, xnk − p and the fact that X is uniformly convex Banach space, there exists δ > 0, such that x −p T ynk − p nk ≤ 2 − δ. xnk − p x nk − p Thus, xn 1 − p 1 − αn xn αn T yn − p k k k k k ≤ 1 − 2αnk xnk − p αnk xnk − p αnk T ynk − p xnk − p T ynk − p ≤ 1 − 2αnk xnk − p αnk xnk − p · xnk − p xnk − p ≤ 1 − 2αnk xnk − p 2 − δαnk xnk − p ≤ 1 − δαnk xnk − p xnk − p − δαnk xnk − p ≤ xnk − p − δαε1 . Using 2.3, we obtain that xn 1 − p ≤ xn − p − δαε1 ≤ xn −1 − p − δαε1 k k k ≤ xnk −2 − p − δαε1 ≤ · · · ≤ xnk−1 1 − p − δαε1 ≤ xn − p − 2δαε1 . 2.10 2.11 2.12 2.13 2.14 k−1 So xn − p ≤ xn − p − δαε1 ≤ xn − p − 2δαε1 ≤ · · · ≤ xn − p − k − 1δαε1 . k k−1 k−2 1 2.15 Let k→∞, then we have xnk − p < 0. It is a contradiction. Hence, lim n→∞ xn − T yn 0. Third, we show that lim xn − Sxn 0. 2.16 n→∞ Since xn − Sxn ≤ xn − T yn T yn − Sxn ≤ xn − T yn axn − yn b xn − Sxn yn − T yn c xn − T yn yn − Sxn 1 cxn − T yn axn − yn bxn − Sxn byn − T yn cyn − Sxn 1 cxn − T yn a 1 − βn xn βn Sxn − xn bxn − Sxn b 1 − βn xn βn Sxn − T yn c 1 − βn xn βn Sxn − Sxn ≤ 1 cxn − T yn aβn xn − Sxn bxn − Sxn bβn xn − Sxn bxn − T yn c 1 − βn xn − Sxn 1 b cxn − T yn aβn b bβn c 1 − βn xn − Sxn , 2.17 Z. Gu and Y. Li 5 we have 1 − aβn − b − bβn − c 1 − βn xn − Sxn ≤ 1 b cxn − T yn . 2.18 Let M1 1 − aβn − b − bβn − c1 − βn , then M1 1 − aβn − b − bβn − c cβn 1 − b − c − a b − cβn ≥ a b c − a b − cβn a b 1 − βn c 1 βn 2.19 ≥ a b1 − β c > 0. So xn − Sxn ≤ 1 b c xn − T yn . M1 2.20 Using 2.4, we get that lim xn − Sxn 0. n→∞ 2.21 Forth, we show that if the Ishikawa sequence {xn } converges to some point p ∈ X, then p is the common fixed point of S and T . By yn 1 − βn xn βn Sxn , xn1 1 − αn xn αn T yn , 2.22 we have xn − T yn 1/αn xn1 − xn . Since {xn } is a convergent sequence, we get lim n→∞ xn − T yn 0. It is easy to see that xn − yn βn xn − Sxn and Sxn − yn 1 − βn xn − Sxn . On the other hand, yn − T yn 1 − β xn β Sxn − T yn ≤ 1 − β xn − T yn β Sxn − T yn . 2.23 n n n n By 1.1, we obtain T yn − Sxn ≤ axn − yn b xn − Sxn yn − T yn c xn − T yn yn − Sxn ≤ aβn xn − Sxn bxn − Sxn b 1 − βn xn − T yn bβn Sxn − T yn cxn − T yn c 1 − βn xn − Sxn aβn b c 1 − βn xn − Sxn b 1 − βn c xn − T yn bβn Sxn − T yn . 2.24 Since xn − Sxn ≤ Sxn − T yn xn − T yn , 2.25 T yn − Sxn ≤ b 1 − β c aβ b c 1 − β xn − T yn n n n bβn aβn b c 1 − βn Sxn − T yn . 2.26 we get 6 Fixed Point Theory and Applications So 1 − b − c − a b − cβn T yn − Sxn ≤ b 1 − βn c aβn b c 1 − βn xn − T yn . 2.27 Let M2 1 − b − c − a b − cβn , Since 0 ≤ βn ≤ β < 1, we have M2 ≥ a b c − a b − cβn ≥ a b 1 − βn c 1 βn ≥ a b1 − β c > 0. 2.28 It is easy to see that b 1 − βn c aβn b c 1 − βn > 0. Note that lim n→∞ xn − T yn 0, then we get lim Sxn − T yn 0, n→∞ lim yn − T yn 0. n→∞ 2.29 2.30 So lim n→∞ xn − yn lim n→∞ βn Sxn − xn 0. Let p lim n→∞ xn , then lim n→∞ yn p, lim n→∞ Sxn p, lim n→∞ T yn p. By 1.1, we have Sxn − T p ≤ axn − p b xn − Sxn p − T p c xn − T p p − Sxn . 2.31 Let n→∞, then we get p − T p ≤ b cp − T p. 2.32 Since b c < 1, it follows that p − T p 0, that is T p p. Similarly, we can prove that Sp p. So p is the common fixed point of S and T . Finally, we show that {Sxn } is a Cauchy sequence. For any m, n ∈ N, Sxn − Sxnm ≤ Sxn − T ynm Sxnm − T ynm ≤ axn − ynm b xn − Sxn ynm − T ynm c xn − T ynm ynm − Sxn Sxnm − T ynm ≤ a xn − Sxn Sxn − Sxnm Sxnm − ynm b xn − Sxn ynm − T ynm c xn − Sxn Sxn − Sxnm Sxnm − T ynm ynm − Sxnm Sxnm − Sxn Sxnm − T ynm . Since b > 0, thus we get 1 − a − 2c > 0. Simplify, then we have Sxn − Sxnm ≤ Axn − Sxn B ynm − T ynm Cynm − Sxnm DSxnm − T ynm , 2.33 2.34 2.35 where A a b c/1 − a − 2c ≥ 0, B b/1 − a − 2c ≥ 0, C a c/1 − a − 2c ≥ 0, and D 1 c/1 − a − 2c ≥ 0. By 2.16 and 2.30, we know that xn − Sxn −→ 0, ynm − T ynm −→ 0, Sxnm − T ynm −→ 0. 2.36 Z. Gu and Y. Li 7 So it is easy to see that ynm − Sxnm →0. Thus, Sxn − Sxnm →0, that is {Sxn } is a Cauchy sequence. Hence, there exists p, such that p lim n→∞ Sxn . We know that p lim n→∞ xn and p is the common fixed point of S and T . This completes the proof of the theorem.
