Abstract

Using the implicit iteration and the hybrid method in mathematical programming, we prove weak and strong convergence theorems for finding common fixed points of a countable family of nonexpansive mappings in a real Hilbert space. Our results include many convergence theorems by Xu and Ori (2001) and Zhang and Su (2007) as special cases. We also apply our method to find a common element to the set of fixed points of a nonexpansive mapping and the set of solutions of an equilibrium problem. Finally, we propose an iteration to obtain convergence theorems for a continuous monotone mapping.
