Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to prove, by asymptotic center techniques and the methods of Hilbert spaces, the following theorem. Let H be a Hilbert space, let C be a nonempty bounded closed convex subset of H, and let M=[an,k]n,k1 be a strongly ergodic matrix. If T:CC is a lipschitzian mapping such that liminfninfm=0,1,...k=1an,k·Tk+m2<2, then the set of fixed points FixT={xC:Tx=x} is a retract of C. This result extends and improves the corresponding results of [7, Corollary 9] and [8, Corollary 1].
