viscosity method for a hierarchical fixed point solving variational inequality problems is presented. The method is used to solve variational inequalities, where the involved mappings are non-expansive. Solutions are sought in the set of the fixed points of another non-expansive mapping. As applications, we use the results to study problems of the monotone variational inequality, the convex programming, the hierarchical minimization, and the quadratic minimization over fixed point sets.

This paper proposes a modified iterative algorithm using a viscosity approximation method with a weak contraction. The purpose is to find a common element of the set of common fixed points of an infinite family of nonexpansive mappings and the set of a finite family of equilibrium problems that is also a solution to a variational inequality. Under suitable conditions, some strong convergence theorems are established in the framework of Hilbert spaces. The results presented in the paper improve and extend the corresponding results of Colao et al. (Colao, V., Acedo, G. L., and Marino, G. An implicit method for finding common solutions of variational inequalities and systems of equilibrium problems and fixed points of infinite family of nonexpansive mappings.

Abstract: The purpose of this article is to prove some approximation theorems of common fixed points for countable families of total quasi-ϕ-asymptotically nonexpansive mappings which contain several kinds of mappings as its special cases in Banach spaces. In order to get the approximation theorems, the hybrid algorithms are presented and are used to approximate the common fixed points. Using this result, we also discuss the problem of strong convergence concerning the maximal monotone operators in a Banach space. The results of this article extend and improve the results of Matsushita and Takahashi [S. Matsushita, W.

Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to prove by using a new hybrid method a strong convergence theorem for finding a common element of the set of solutions for a generalized equilibrium problem, the set of solutions for a variational inequality problem and the set of common fixed points for a pair of relatively nonexpansive mappings in a Banach space. As applications, we utilize our results to obtain some new results for finding a solution of an equilibrium problem, a fixed point problem and a common zero-point problem for maximal monotone mappings in Banach spaces.

Abstract: In this paper, we introduce a new iterative scheme for finding a common element of the set of solutions of an equilibrium problem, the set of common fixed point for a family of infinitely nonexpansive mappings and the set of solutions of the variational inequality for -inverse-strongly monotone mappings in a Hilbert space. Under suitable conditions, some strong convergence theorems for approximating a common element of the above three sets are obtained. As applications, at the end of the paper we utilize our results to study the optimization problem and some convergence problem for strictly pseudocontractive mappings.
