Abstract

Let D be an open subset of a real uniformly smooth Banach space E. Suppose T:D¯E is a demicontinuous pseudocontractive mapping satisfying an appropriate condition, where D¯ denotes the closure of D. Then, it is proved that (i) D¯(I+r(IT)) for every r>0; (ii) for a given y0D, there exists a unique path tytD¯, t[0,1], satisfying yt:=tTyt+(1t)y0. Moreover, if F(T) or there exists y0D such that the set K:={yD:Ty=λy+(1λ)y0 for λ>1} is bounded, then it is proved that, as t1, the path {yt} converges strongly to a fixed point of T. Furthermore, explicit iteration procedures with bounded error terms are proved to converge strongly to a fixed point of T.
