Convergence theorems for implicit iteration process for a finite family of continuous pseudocontractive mappings ✩

In this paper, a necessary and sufficient conditions for the strong convergence to a common fixed point of a finite family of continuous pseudocontractive mappings are proved in an arbitrary real Banach space using an implicit iteration scheme recently introduced by Xu and Ori [H.K. Xu, R.G. Ori, An implicit iteration process for nonexpansive mappings, Numer. Fuct. Anal. Optim. 22 (2001) 767–773] in condition αn ∈ (0,1], and also strong and weak convergence theorem of a finite family of strictly pseudocontractive mappings of Browder–Petryshyn type is obtained. The results presented extend and improve the corresponding results of M.O. Osilike [M.O. Osilike, Implicit iteration process for common fixed points of a finite family of strictly pseudocontractive maps, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 294 (2004) 73–81].  2005 Published by Elsevier Inc.
