Abstract

We introduce new general iterative approximation methods for finding a common fixed point of a countable family of nonexpansive mappings. Strong convergence theorems are established in the framework of reflexive Banach spaces which admit a weakly continuous duality mapping. Finally, we apply our results to solve the the equilibrium problems and the problem of finding a zero of an accretive operator. The results presented in this paper mainly improve on the corresponding results reported by many others.
