There are two important connections between the classes of nonexpansive and of accretive mappings which give rise to a strong connection between the fixed point theory of nonexpansive mappings and the mapping theory of accretive maps. These are: (1) If U is a nonexpansive mapping of D(U) into X, and if we set T — I--U, D(T)=D(U), then T is an accretive mapping of D{T) into X. (2) If { U(i)f t^O...

We study the asymptotic behavior of the sequence of the iterates for a nonexpansive mapping, defined on a suitable subset of a Banach space with Opial's condition. Some results are stated also for semigroups of nonexpansive mappings and for mappings of asymptotically nonexpansive type in uniformly convex Banach spaces with Opial's condition.
