We introduce a new general iterative scheme for finding a common element of the set of solutions of variational inequality problem for an inverse-strongly monotone mapping and the set of fixed points of a nonexpansive mapping in a Hilbert space and then establish strong convergence of the sequence generated by the proposed iterative scheme to a common element of the above two sets under suitable control conditions, which is a solution of a certain optimization problem.
Applications of the main result are also given.
1. Introduction
LetH be a real Hilbert space with inner product ·,·and induced norm · . LetCbe a nonempty closed convex subset ofHandS :C → Cbe self-mapping onC. We denote by FSthe set of fixed points ofSand byPC the metric projection ofHontoC.
LetAbe a nonlinear mapping ofCintoH. The variational inequality problem is to find au∈Csuch that
v−u, Au ≥0, ∀v∈C. 1.1
We denote the set of solutions of the variational inequality problem1.1by VIC, A. The variational inequality problem has been extensively studied in the literature; see1–5and the references therein.
Recently, in order to study the problem1.1coupled with the fixed point problem, many authors have introduced some iterative schemes for finding a common element of the set of the solutions of the problem1.1and the set of fixed points of nonexpansive mappings;
see 6–9 and the references therein. In particular, in 2005, Iiduka and Takahashi 8
introduced an iterative scheme for finding a common point of the set of fixed points of a nonexapansive mappingSand the set of solutions of the problem1.1for an inverse-strong monotone mappingA:x1∈Cand

wheref is a contraction with constantk ∈ 0,1,{αn},{βn} ∈ 0,1, and{λn} ⊂ 0,2α. He proved that the sequence{xn}generated by1.3strongly converges strongly to a point in FS∩VIC, A, which is the unique solution of a certain variational inequality.
On the other hand, the following optimization problem has been studied extensively by many authors:
minx∈Ω
μ
2Bx, x1
2x−u2−hx, 1.4
where Ω ∞
n1Cn, C1, C2, . . . are infinitely many closed convex subsets of H such that ∞
n1Cn/∅,u∈H,μ≥0 is a real number,Bis a strongly positive bounded linear operator on Hi.e., there is a constantγ >0 such thatBx, x ≥γx2, for allx∈H, andhis a potential function forγf i.e.,hx γfxfor all x ∈ H. For this kind of optimization problems, see, for example, Deutsch and Yamada11, Jung10, and Xu12,13whenΩ N
i1Ciand hx x, bfor a given pointbinH.
In 2007, related to a certain optimization problem, Marino and Xu14introduced the following general iterative scheme for the fixed point problem of a nonexpansive mapping:
xn1αnγfxn I−αnBSxn, n≥0, 1.5 where {αn} ∈ 0,1 and γ > 0. They proved that the sequence {xn} generated by 1.5 converges strongly to the unique solution of the variational inequality

which is the optimality condition for the minimization problem
x∈FSmin 1
2Bx, x −hx, 1.7
where h is a potential function for γf. The result improved the corresponding results of Moudafi15and Xu16.
In this paper, motivated by the above-mentioned results, we introduce a new general composite iterative scheme for finding a common point of the set of solutions of the variational inequality problem1.1for an inverse-strongly monotone mapping and the set of fixed points of a nonexapansive mapping and then prove that the sequence generated by the proposed iterative scheme converges strongly to a common point of the above two sets, which is a solution of a certain optimization problem. Applications of the main result are also discussed. Our results improve and complement the corresponding results of Chen et al.6, Iiduka and Takahashi8, Jung10, and others.
2. Preliminaries and Lemmas
LetHbe a real Hilbert space and letCbe a nonempty closed convex subset ofH. We write xn xto indicate that the sequence{xn}converges weakly tox.xn → ximplies that{xn} converges strongly tox.
First we recall that a mappingf :C → Cis a contraction onCif there exists a constant k ∈ 0,1such thatfx−fy ≤ kx−y,x, y ∈ C. A mapping T : C → Cis called nonexpansive ifTx−Ty ≤ x−y, x, y∈C. We denote byFTthe set of fixed points ofT. For every pointx∈H, there exists a unique nearest point inC, denoted byPCx, such that
x−PCx ≤x−y 2.1
for all y ∈ C. PC is called the metric projection of H onto C. It is well known that PC is nonexpansive andPC satisfies
x−y, PCx−PC
y
≥PCx−PC
y2 2.2
for everyx, y∈H. Moreover,PCxis characterized by the properties:
x−y2≥ x−PCx2y−PCx2, uPCx⇐⇒
x−u, u−y
≥0, ∀x∈H, y∈C.
2.3
In the context of the variational inequality problem for a nonlinear mappingA, this implies that
u∈VIC, A⇐⇒uPCu−λAu, for anyλ >0. 2.4
It is also well known thatHsatisfies the Opial condition, that is, for any sequence{xn}with xn x, the inequality
lim inf
n→ ∞ xn−x<lim inf
n→ ∞ xn−y 2.5
holds for everyy∈Hwithy /x.
A mappingAofCintoH is called inverse-strongly monotone if there exists a positive real numberαsuch that
x−y, Ax−Ay
≥αAx−Ay2 2.6 for allx, y ∈C; see4,7,17. For such a case,Ais calledα-inverse-strongly monotone. We know that ifAI−T, whereTis a nonexpansive mapping ofCinto itself andIis the identity mapping ofH, thenAis 1/2-inverse-strongly monotone and VIC, A FT. A mappingA ofCintoHis called strongly monotone if there exists a positive real numberηsuch that
x−y, Ax−Ay
≥ηx−y2 2.7
for allx, y∈C. In such a case, we sayAisη-strongly monotone. IfAisη-strongly monotone andκ-Lipschitz continuous, that is,Ax−Ay ≤ κx−yfor allx, y ∈ C, thenAisη/κ2- inverse-strongly monotone. If Ais an α-inverse-strongly monotone mapping ofC intoH, then it is obvious thatAis 1/α-Lipschitz continuous. We also have that for allx, y ∈Cand λ >0,
I−λAx−I−λAy2x−y
−λ
Ax−Ay2
x−y2−2λx−y, Ax−Ayλ2Ax−Ay2
≤x−y2λλ−2αAx−Ay2.
2.8
So, ifλ≤2α, thenI−λAis a nonexpansive mapping ofCintoH. The following result for the existence of solutions of the variational inequality problem for inverse strongly-monotone mappings was given in Takahashi and Toyoda9.
Proposition 2.1. LetCbe a bounded closed convex subset of a real Hilbert space and let A be an α-inverse-strongly monotone mapping ofCintoH. Then, VIC, Ais nonempty.
A set-valued mappingT :H → 2His called monotone if for allx, y∈H,f ∈Tx, and g∈Tyimplyx−y, f−g ≥0. A monotone mappingT :H → 2His maximal if the graphGT ofTis not properly contained in the graph of any other monotone mapping. It is known that a monotone mappingTis maximal if and only if forx, f∈H×H,x−y, f−g ≥0 for every y, g∈GTimpliesf ∈Tx. LetAbe an inverse-strongly monotone mapping ofCintoH and letNCvbe the normal cone toCatv, that is,NCv{w∈H:v−u, w ≥0, for allu∈C}, and define
Tv

∅, v /∈C. 2.9
ThenT is maximal monotone and 0∈Tvif and only ifv∈VIC, A; see18,19.
We need the following lemmas for the proof of our main results.

Lemma 2.3Xu12. Let{sn}be a sequence of nonnegative real numbers satisfying

Then limn→ ∞sn0.

The following lemma can be found in20,21 see alsoLemma 2.2in22.

3. Main Results
In this section, we present a new general composite iterative scheme for inverse-strongly monotone mappings and a nonexpansive mapping.
Theorem 3.1. LetCbe a nonempty closed convex subset of a real Hilbert spaceHsuch thatC ± C⊂ C. Let A be anα-inverse-strongly monotone mapping ofCintoHandSa nonexpansive mapping of Cinto itself such thatFS∩VIC, A/∅. Letu∈Cand letBbe a strongly positive bounded linear operator onCwith constantγ ∈0,1andfa contraction ofCinto itself with constantk ∈0,1.
Assume thatμ >0 and 0< γ <1μγ/k. Let{xn}be a sequence generated by

where{λn} ⊂0,2α,{αn} ⊂0,1, and{βn} ⊂0,1. Let{αn},{λn}, and{βn}satisfy the following conditions:
iαn → 0 n → ∞;∞
n1αn∞;
iiβn⊂0, afor alln≥0 and for somea∈0,1;

n1|λn1−λn|<∞.
Then{xn}converges strongly toq∈FS∩VIC, A, which is a solution of the optimization problem
x∈FS∩VIC,Amin μ

wherehis a potential function forγf.
Proof. We note that from the control conditioni, we may assume, without loss of generality, thatαn≤1μB−1. Recall that ifBis bounded linear self-adjoint operator onH, then
Bsup{|Bu, u|:u∈H, u1}. 3.1
Observe that

which is to say thatI−αnIμBis positive. It follows that I−αn

3.3
Now we divide the proof into several steps.
Step 1. We show that{xn}is bounded. To this end, letzn PCxn−λnAxnandwnPCyn− λnAynfor every n ≥ 1. Letp ∈ FS∩VIC, A. SinceI −λnAis nonexpansive andp PCp−λnApfrom2.4, we have
zn−p≤xn−λnAxn−
p−λnAp
≤xn−p. 3.4
Similarly, we have
wn−p≤yn−p. 3.5
Now, setB IμB. Letp∈FS∩VIC, A. Then, fromISand3.4, we obtain

Therefore, {xn} is bounded. So {yn}, {zn}, {wn},{fxn}, {Axn}, {Ayn}, and {BSzn} are bounded. Moreover, sinceSzn−p ≤ xn−pandSwn−p ≤ yn−p,{Szn}and{Swn} are also bounded. And by the conditioni, we have

zn−zn−1 ≤ xn−λnAxn−xn−1−λn−1Axn−1
≤ xn−xn−1|λn−λn−1|Axn−1. 3.10
Similarly, we get

ApplyingLemma 2.3to3.15, we obtain
nlim→ ∞xn1−xn0. 3.17
Moreover, by3.10and3.13, we also have
n→ ∞limzn1−zn0, lim
n→ ∞yn1−yn0. 3.18
Step 3. We show that limn→ ∞xn−yn0 and limn→ ∞xn−Szn0. Indeed,

which implies that
xn1−yn≤ a 1−a
xn1−xnSzn−yn. 3.20
Obviously, by3.9andStep 2, we havexn1−yn → 0 asn → ∞. This implies that
xn−yn≤ xn−xn1xn1−yn−→0 asn−→ ∞. 3.21 By3.9and3.21, we also have
xn−Szn ≤xn−ynyn−Szn−→0 asn−→ ∞. 3.22
Step 4. We show that limn→ ∞xn−zn0 and limn→ ∞yn−zn0. To this end, letpFS∩ VIC, A. SinceznPCxn−λnAxnandpPCp−λnp, we have

Sinceαn → 0 from the conditioniandxn−yn → 0 fromStep 3, we haveAxn−Ap → 0n → ∞. Moreover, from2.4we obtain

Sinceαn → 0,xn−yn → 0 andAxn−Au → 0, we getxn−zn → 0. Also by3.21 yn−zn≤yn−xnxn−zn −→0 n−→ ∞. 3.29
Step 5. We show that limn→ ∞Szn−zn0. In fact, since
Szn−zn ≤Szn−ynyn−zn
αnuγfxn−BSznyn−zn,
3.30
from3.9and3.29, we have limn→ ∞Szn−zn0.

Without loss of generality, we may assume that{zni}converges weakly toz∈C.
Now we will show thatz∈FS∩VIC, A. First we show thatz∈FS. Assume that z /∈FS. Sincezni zandSz /z, by the Opial condition andStep 5, we obtain
lim inf
i→ ∞ zni −z<lim inf
i→ ∞ zni−Sz
≤lim inf
i→ ∞ zni−SzniSzni−Sz lim inf
i→ ∞ Szni−Sz

3.34
which is a contradiction. Thus we havez∈FS.
Next, let us show thatz∈VIC, A. Let

ThenT is maximal monotone. Letv, w∈GT. Sincew−Av∈NCvandzn∈C, we have
v−zn, w−Av ≥0. 3.36
On the other hand, fromzn PCxn−λnAxn, we havev−zn, zn−xn−λnAzn ≥ 0 and hence

Therefore, we have

Sincezn−xn → 0 inStep 4andAisα-inverse-strongly monotone, we havev−z, w ≥0 asi → ∞. SinceT is maximal monotone, we havez∈T−10 and hencez∈VIC, A.
Therefore,z∈FS∩VIC, A. Now fromLemma 2.5andStep 5, we obtain

From i, yn −xn → 0 in Steps 3, and6, it is easily seen that αn → 0, ∞
n1αn ∞, and lim supn→ ∞βn/αn ≤ 0. Hence, byLemma 2.3, we concludexn → qasn → ∞. This completes the proof.
As a direct consequence ofTheorem 3.1, we have the following results.
Corollary 3.2. Let H, C, S, B, f, u, γ, γ, k, and μ be as in Theorem 3.1. Let {xn} be a sequence generated by

4. Applications
In this section, as in6,8,10, we prove two theorems by usingTheorem 3.1. First of all, we recall the following definition.
A mappingT :C → Cis called strictly pseudocontractive if there existsαwith 0≤α <1 such that
Tx−Ty2≤x−y2αI−Tx−I−Ty2 4.1 for everyx, y ∈ C. Ifk 0, thenT is nonexpansive. PutA I−T, whereT : C → Cis a strictly pseudo-contractive mapping with constantα. ThenAis1−α/2-inverse-strongly monotone; see2. Actually, we have, for allx, y∈C,
I−Ax−I−Ay2≤x−y2αAx−Ay2. 4.2
On the other hand, sinceHis a real Hilbert space, we have I−Ax−I−Ay2x−y2Ax−Ay2−2
x−y, Ax−Ay
. 4.3
Hence we have
x−y, Ax−Ay
≥ 1−α
2 Ax−Ay2. 4.4
UsingTheorem 3.1, we found a strong convergence theorem for finding a common fixed point of a nonexpansive mapping and a strictly pseudo-contractive mapping.
Theorem 4.1. LetH,C,S,B,f,u,γ,γ,k, andμbe as inTheorem 3.1. LetTbe anα-strictly pseudo- contractive mapping ofCinto itself such thatFS∩FT/∅. Let{xn}be a sequence generated by

4.5
where {λn} ⊂ 0,1−α,{αn} ⊂ 0,1, and{βn} ⊂ 0,1. Let {αn},{λn}, and{βn} satisfy the conditions (i), (ii), (iii), and (iv) inTheorem 3.1. Then{xn}converges strongly toq∈FS∩FT, which is a solution of the optimization problem
x∈FS∩FTmin μ

Proof. PutAI−T. ThenAis1−α/2-inverse-strongly monotone. We haveFT VIC, A andPCxn−λnAxn 1−λnxnλnTxn. Thus, the desired result follows fromTheorem 3.1.
UsingTheorem 3.1, we also obtain the following result.
Theorem 4.2. LetHbe a real Hilbert space. Let Abe anα-inverse-strongly monotone mapping of HintoHand S a nonexpansive mapping ofHinto itself such thatFS∩A−10/∅. Letu∈H, and letBbe a strongly positive bounded linear operator on Hwith constant γ > 0 andf : H → H a contraction with constantk ∈0,1. Assume thatμ >0 and 0 < γ < 1μγ/k. Let{xn}be a sequence generated by

where {λn} ⊂ 0,2α, {αn} ⊂ 0,1, and {βn} ⊂ 0,1. Let {αn}, {λn}, and {βn} satisfy the conditions (i), (ii), (iii), and (iv) inTheorem 3.1. Then{xn}converges strongly toq∈FS∩A−10, which is a solution of the optimization problem

Proof. We haveA−10 VIH, A. So, puttingPH I, byTheorem 3.1, we obtain the desired result.
