Stability and Convergence Results Based on Fixed Point Theory for a Generalized Viscosity Iterative Scheme

A generalization of Halpern’s iteration is investigated on a compact convex subset of a smooth Banach space. The modified iteration process consists of a combination of a viscosity term, an external sequence, and a continuous nondecreasing function of a distance of points of an external sequence, which is not necessarily related to the solution of Halpern’s iteration, a contractive mapping, and a nonexpansive one. The sum of the real coefficient sequences of four of the above terms is not required to be unity at each sample but it is assumed to converge asymptotically to unity. Halpern’s iteration solution is proven to converge strongly to a unique fixed point of the asymptotically nonexpansive mapping.
