We present several strong convergence results for the modified, Halpern-type, proximal point algorithm xn+1 = αnu + (1 − αn)Jβn xn + en (n = 0, 1, . . .; u, x0 ∈ H given, and Jβn = (I + βn A)−1, for a maximal monotone operator A) in a real Hilbert space, under new sets of conditions on αn ∈ (0, 1) and βn ∈ (0,∞). These conditions are weaker than those known to us and our results extend and impr...
