Abstract

Let X be a real uniformly convex Banach space and C a closed convex nonempty subset of X. Let {Ti}i=1r be a finite family of nonexpansive self-mappings of C. For a given x1C, let {xn} and {xn(i)}, i=1,2,,r, be sequences defined xn(0)=xn,xn(1)=an1(1)T1xn(0)+(1-an1(1))xn(0),xn(2)=an2(2)T2xn(1)+an1(2)T1xn+(1-an2(2)-an1(2))xn,,xn+1=xn(r)=anr(r)Trxn(r-1)+an(r-1)(r)Tr-1xn(r-2)++an1(r)T1xn+(1-an(r)(r)-an(r-1)(r)--an1(r))xn,n1, where ani(j)[0,1] for all j{1,2,,r}, n and i=1,2,,j. In this paper, weak and strong convergence theorems of the sequence {xn} to a common fixed point of a finite family of nonexpansive mappings Ti(i=1,2,,r) are established under some certain control conditions.
