The aim of this paper is to generalize the results of Yamada et al. [Yamada, I., Ogura, N., Yamashita, Y., Sakaniwa, K. (1998). Quadratic approximation of fixed points of nonexpansive mappings in Hilbert spaces. Numer. Funct. Anal. Optimiz. 19(l):165-190], and to provide complementary results to those of Deutsch and Yamada [Deutsch, F., Yamada, I. (1998). Minimizing certain convex functions over the intersection of the fixed point sets of nonexpansive mappings. Numer. Funct. Anal. Optim. 19(1&2):33-56] in which they consider the minimization of some function d over a closed convex set F, the nonempty intersection of N fixed point sets. We start by considering a quadratic function θ and providing a relaxation of conditions of Theorem 1 of Yamada et al. (1998) to obtain a sequence of fixed points of certain contraction maps, converging to the unique minimizer of θ over F. We then extend Theorem 2 and obtain a complementary result to Theorem 3 of Yamada et al. (1998) by replacing the condition lim n → ∞ (λn - λn+1)/λ²n+1 = 0 on the parameters by the more general condition lim n → ∞ λn / λn+1 = 1. We next look at minimizing a more general function θ than a quadratic function which was proposed by Deutsch and Yamada (1998) and show that the sequence of fixed points of certain maps converge to the unique minimizer of 9 over F. Finally, we prove a complementary result to that of Deutsch and Yamada (1998) by using the alternate condition on the parameters. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
