The class of asymptotically nonexpansive maps was introduced by Goebel and Kirk [18] as a generalization of the class of nonexpansive maps. They proved that if K is a nonempty closed convex bounded subset of a real uniformly convex Banach space and T is an asymptotically nonexpansive self-mapping of K , then T has a fixed point. Alber and Guerre-Delabriere have studied in [3–5] weakly contracti...
