A family of commuting nonexpansive self-mappings, one of which is weakly contractive, are studied. Some convergence theorems are established for the iterations of types Krasnoselski-Mann, Kirk, and Ishikawa to approximate a common fixed point. The error estimates of these iterations are also given.
1. Introduction and Preliminaries
Let be a metric space and . A mapping is said to be nonexpansive if
and it is said to be weakly contractive if
where is continuous and nondecreasing such that is positive on , and .
It is evident that is contractive if it is weakly contractive with , where , and it is nonexpansive if it is weakly contractive.
As an important extension of the class of contractive mappings, the class of weakly contractive mappings was introduced by Alber and Guerre-Delabriere [1]. In Hilbert and Banach spaces, Alber et al. [1–4] and Rhoades [5] established convergence theorems on iteration of fixed point for weakly contractive single mapping.
Inspired by [2, 5, 6], the purpose of this paper is to study a family of commuting nonexpansive mappings, one of which is weakly contractive, in arbitrary complete metric spaces and Banach spaces.
We will establish some convergence theorems for the iterations of types Krasnoselski-Mann, Kirk, and Ishikawa to approximate a common fixed point and to give their error estimates.
Throughout this paper, we assume that is the set of fixed points of a mapping , that is, ; is defined by the antiderivative (indefinite integral) of on , that is, , and is the inverse function of .
We define iterations which will be needed in the sequel.
Suppose that is a metric space and , is a family of commuting self-mappings of and . The iteration of type Krasnoselski-Mann (see [7, 8]) is cyclically defined by
For convenience, we write
where the function takes values in .
Let be a closed convex subset of the normed space . Then the iteration of type Kirk (see [5, 9]) is defined by
Again, the iteration of type lshikawa with error (see [10–12]) is defined by
where , , , and
We will make use of following result in the proof of Theorem 2.4.
Lemma 1.1 (see [12]).
Suppose that , are two sequences of nonnegative numbers such that , for all . If , then exists.
2. Main Result
Theorem 2.1.
Let be a complete metric space and let be a family of commuting self-mappings, where are all nonexpansive and is weakly contractive, then there is a unique common fixed point and the iteration of type Krasnoselski-Mann generated by (1.4) converges in metric to , with the following error estimate:
where is the Gauss integer of .
Proof.
The uniqueness of fixed point of is clear from (1.2). Hence, the common fixed point of is unique. Let be an arbitrary point in and let be an iteration of type Krasnoselski-Mann generated by (1.4). Since is commutative, then we have . Suppose that and . Then,
Write for fixed . Then is a subsequence of . Since is nonexpansive and is weakly contractive, then we obtain
which shows , that is, is a nonincreasing sequence of nonnegative real numbers. Therefore, it tends to a limit . If , then, by nondecreasity of , Thus, from (2.3) it follows that
a contradiction for large enough. Therefore,
By (2.5), for any given , there exists such that
We claim that
In fact, from (2.6) we see that (2.7) holds when . Suppose that . If , then from (2.6) we get
If , then we also get
Therefore, by induction we derive that (2.7) holds. Since is arbitrary, is a Cauchy sequence. As is complete, we have
Observe that are all continuous, so is . From (2.10), it follows that
By (1.1), (1.2), and (2.11), we deduce
which shows
From (2.12), it implies that is a common fixed point of that is, . Hence, . By (2.10) and (2.14), we conclude . Set From (2.3), we have
Since is continuous and nondecreasing, using (2.15), it yields
Observe that
From (2.16) and (2.17), we obtain the error estimate (2.1). This completes the proof.
Remark 2.2.
If in Theorem 2.1, where is the identity mapping of , then we conclude that the sequence converges to the unique common fixed point of weakly contractive mapping , with the error estimate , where . Thus, our Theorem 2.1 is a generalization of the corresponding theorem of Rhoades [5].
Theorem 2.3.
Let be a Banach space and let be a nonempty closed convex set. Let be a family of commuting self-mappings, where are all nonexpansive and is weakly contractive. Then, for any , the iteration of type Kirk generated by (1.5) converges strongly to a unique common fixed point , with the following error estimate:
Proof.
Applying Theorem 2.1, we can suppose that is a unique common fixed point of . Since
we derive that is a fixed point of . Since are all nonexpansive, is weakly contractive, and , then we have
The inequality (2.20) shows that is weakly contractive. Thus, is a unique fixed point of . Set Then,
and converges to with the following error estimate (see Remark 2.2):
Observe that
From (2.21)–(2.23), we obtain (2.18). This completes the proof.
Theorem 2.4.
Let be a Banach space and let be a nonempty closed convex set. Let be a family of commuting self-mappings, where are all nonexpansive and is weakly contractive. For any , let be the iteration of type Ishikawa generated by (1.6), where
and are all bounded. Then, converges strongly to a unique common fixed point with the following estimate:
where .
Proof.
Applying Theorem 2.1, we can suppose that is a unique common fixed point of . Since are all bounded, we have . Since are all nonexpansive and is weakly contractive, we obtain in proper order that
Write Then and (2.26) yields
From (2.27) and Lemma 1.1, it implies that exists, and so does by the continuity of . From (2.28), it implies that Since we conclude that Therefore, that is, converges strongly to . To establish the error estimate, we set and Then, (2.26) yields
Set From (2.29) we have
Since is nondecreasing, from (2.30) we deduce
Thus,
Hence, the estimate (2.25) holds. This completes the proof.
