Abstract

:
A system of variational inclusions (GSVI) is considered in Banach spaces. An implicit iterative procedure is proposed for solving the GSVI. Strong convergence of the proposed algorithm is given.

1. Introduction

Let X be a smooth Banach space and C X a closed convex set. Let A 1 , A 2 : C X and M 1 , M 2 : C 2 X be nonlinear mappings. In the present article, we consider the following system of variational inclusions (GSVI, for short) which aims to seek ( u * , v * ) C × C verifying
0 ς 1 ( A 1 v * + M 1 u * ) + u * v * , 0 ς 2 ( A 2 u * + M 2 v * ) + v * u * ,
where ς 1 and ς 2 are two positive constants.
Special cases: If A 1 = A 2 = A and M 1 = M 2 = M , then the relation (1) reduces to seek ( u * , v * ) C × C verifying
0 ς 1 ( A v * + M u * ) + u * v * , 0 ς 2 ( A u * + M v * ) + v * u * .
If u * = v * in (2), then the relation (2) reduces to seek ( u * , v * ) C × C verifying
0 A u * + M u * .
Especially, if M = ϕ , where ϕ : H R + is a proper convex lower semi-continuous function, then we have the following mixed quasi-variational inequality
A u , y u + ϕ ( y ) ϕ ( u ) 0 , y H .
Variational inequalities and variational inclusions have played vital roles in practical applications. Numerous iterative procedures for approaching variational inequalities and variational inclusions have been computed by the researchers [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29].
In [4], the authors introduced an iterative procedure for approaching GSVI (1). Qin et al. [30] suggested an extragradient algorithm for solving GSVI (1), and demonstrated the strong convergence analysis of the presented algorithm. Lan et al. [28], Buong et al. [11], Zhang et al. [13] studied iterative procedures for approaching variational inclusion (3).
On the other hand, iterative computation of zeros or fixed points of nonlinear operators has been studied extensively in the literature [14,31,32,33,34,35,36]. Zhang et al. [37] introduced an iterative procedure for approaching a solution of the inclusion problem (3) and a fixed point of a nonexpansive mapping in Hilbert spaces. Peng et al. [38] presented a viscosity algorithm for finding a solution of a variational inclusion with set-valued maximal monotone mapping and inverse strongly monotone mappings, the set of solutions of an equilibrium problem and a fixed point of a nonexpansive mapping.
Motivated by the above work, in the present paper, we consider the GSVI (1) with the hierarchical variational inequality constraint for a strict pseudocontraction T in Banach spaces. We suggest an implicit iterative procedure for solving the GSVI (1) with the HVI constraint for strict pseudocontraction T. We show the strong convergence of the suggested procedure to a solution of the GSVI (1).

2. Preliminaries

Let X be a real Banach space and C X a closed convex set. A mapping f : C C is said to be k-Lipschitz if f ( u ) f ( v ) k u v , u , v C for some k 0 . If k < 1 , then f is said to be a k-contraction. If k = 1 , then f is said to be nonexpansive.
Recall that an operator T : C X is called
(i)
accretive if
T u T v , j ( u v ) 0 , u , v C ,
where j ( u v ) J ( u v ) .
(ii)
α -inverse-strongly accretive if
T u T v , j ( u v ) α T u T v 2 , u , v C ,
where j ( u v ) J ( u v ) and α > 0 .
(iii)
strictly pseudocontractive if
T u T v , j ( u v ) u v 2 β u v ( T u T v ) 2 , u , v C ,
where j ( u v ) J ( u v ) and β > 0 .
If X is q-uniformly smooth with 1 < q 2 , then
u + v q + u v q 2 ( u q + c v q ) , u , v X ,
where c > 0 is some constant.
Proposition 1
([32]). In a smooth and uniformly convex Banach space X, for all u , v B r = { u X : u r } , there holds
g ( u v ) u 2 2 u , j ( v ) + v 2 ,
where g : [ 0 , 2 r ] R is a strictly increasing, continuous, and convex function satisfying g ( 0 ) = 0 .
Proposition 2
([35]). In a 2-uniformly smooth Banach space X, there holds
u + v 2 u 2 + 2 v , j ( u ) + 2 c v 2 , u , v X .
Let D C and Π : C D be an operator. If Π [ ( 1 s ) Π ( u ) + s u ] = Π ( u ) , whenever ( 1 s ) Π ( u ) + s u C for u C and s 0 , we call Π is sunny.
Proposition 3
([26]). Let X be a smooth Banach space and C X a closed convex set. Let D C be a set and Π : C D be a retraction. Then the following conclusions are equivalent:
(i) 
Π ( u ) u , j ( v Π ( u ) ) 0 , u C and v D ;
(ii) 
Π ( u ) Π ( v ) 2 u v , j ( Π ( u ) Π ( v ) ) , u , v C ;
(iii) 
Π is sunny nonexpansive operator.
If an accretive operator M satisfies R ( I + r M ) = X for each r > 0 , then M is said to be m-accretive. Assume that an accretive M satisfies the range condition D ( M ) ¯ R ( I + r M ) . Define the resolvent J r M : R ( I + r M ) D ( M ) of M by J r M = ( I + r M ) 1 . Note that J r M is nonexpansive and F ( J r M ) = M 1 0 = { x D ( M ) : 0 M x } [31]. If M 1 0 , then the inclusion 0 M x is solvable.
Lemma 1.
Let X be a smooth Banach space and C X a closed convex set. Let M : C 2 X be an m-accretive operator. Then, for any given r > 0 ,
J r M x J r M y 2 x y , j ( J r M x J r M y ) , x , y X .
This means that J r M : X C is nonexpansive.
Proof. 
Put u = J r M x and v = J r M y . Then we have x ( I + r M ) u and y ( I + r M ) v . Hence, there exist u ˜ M u and v ˜ M v such that x = u + r u ˜ and y = v + r v ˜ . Utilizing the accretiveness of M, we obtain
x y , j ( J r M x J r M y ) = u + r u ˜ ( v + r v ˜ ) , j ( u v ) = u v , j ( u v ) + r u ˜ v ˜ , j ( u v ) = u v 2 + r u ˜ v ˜ , j ( u v ) u v 2 = J r M x J r M y 2 .

Lemma 2.
Let M 1 , M 2 : C 2 X be two m-accretive operators and A 1 , A 2 : C X be two operators. ( x * , y * ) is a solution of the GSVI (1) iff Q x * = J ς 1 M 1 ( I ς 1 A 1 ) J ς 2 M 2 ( I ς 2 A 2 ) x * , where y * = J ς 2 M 2 ( I ς 2 A 2 ) x * .
Proof. 
Observe that
0 x * y * + ς 1 ( A 1 y * + M 1 x * ) 0 y * x * + ς 2 ( A 2 x * + M 2 y * ) x * = J ς 1 M 1 ( I ς 1 A 1 ) y * , y * = J ς 2 M 2 ( I ς 2 A 2 ) x * x * = Q x * .

Lemma 3
([3]). Let X be a strictly convex Banach space and C X a closed convex set. Let μ ( 0 , 1 ) be a constant. Define an operator S : C X by S x = μ T 1 x + ( 1 μ ) T 2 x , x C , where T 1 , T 2 : C X be two nonexpansive mappings with F ( T 1 ) F ( T 2 ) . Then S is nonexpansive and F ( S ) = F ( T 1 ) F ( T 2 ) .
Lemma 4
([3]). Let X be a 2-uniformly smooth Banach space and C X a closed convex set. If the operator A : C X is α-inverse-strongly accretive, then
( I ζ A ) u ( I ζ A ) v 2 u v 2 + 2 ζ ( c 2 ζ α ) A u A v 2 , u , v C .
Lemma 5
([3]). Let X be a 2-uniformly smooth Banach space and C X a closed convex set. Let M 1 , M 2 : C 2 X be two m-accretive operators and A i : C X ( i = 1 , 2 ) be ζ i -inverse-strongly accretive operator. Define an operator Q : C C by Q : = J ς 1 M 1 ( I ς 1 A 1 ) J ς 2 M 2 ( I ς 2 A 2 ) . If 0 ς i ζ i c 2 ( i = 1 , 2 ) , then Q : C C is nonexpansive.
Lemma 6
([36]). Let X be a uniformly smooth Banach space and C X a closed convex set. Let A : C C be a nonexpansive mapping with F ( A ) , and f : C X be a contraction. Let t ( 0 , 1 ) . Define a net z t by z t = t f ( z t ) + ( 1 t ) A z t . Then z t x * F ( A ) and
( I f ) x * , j ( x * x ) 0 , x F ( A ) .
Lemma 7
([36]). Assume the sequence { a n } [ 0 , ) satisfies a n + 1 ( 1 λ n ) a n + λ n σ n ( n 0 ) , where the sequences { λ n } ( 0 , 1 ) and { σ n } satisfy
(i) 
n = 0 λ n = ;
(ii) 
either n = 0 | λ n σ n | < or lim sup n σ n 0 .
Then lim n a n = 0 .
Lemma 8
([33]). Let X be a 2-uniformly smooth Banach space and C X a closed convex set. Let T : C C be a λ-strict pseudocontraction. Define an operator T α by T α x = ( 1 α ) x + α T x , α ( 0 , 1 ) . Then, T α : C C is nonexpansive with F ( T α ) = F ( T ) provided α ( 0 , λ c 2 ] .

3. Main Results

Theorem 1.
Let X be a uniformly convex and 2-uniformly smooth Banach space and C X a closed convex set. Let M 1 , M 2 : C 2 X be two m-accretive operators and A i : C X ( i = 1 , 2 ) be ζ i -inverse-strongly accretive operator. Let f : C C be a contraction with coefficient k [ 0 , 1 ) . Let V : C C be a nonexpansive operator and T : C C be a λ-strict pseudocontraction with Ω : = F ( T ) F ( Q ) , where the operator Q is defined as in Lemma 5. Assume that the sequences { α n } ( 0 , 1 ) , { β n } ( 0 , 1 ) , { δ n } ( 0 , 1 ) and { γ n } ( 0 , 1 ) satisfy
(i) 
α n + δ n + β n + γ n = 1 ( n 1 ) ;
(ii) 
α n 0 and β n α n 0 ;
(iii) 
γ n 1 ;
(iv) 
n = 1 α n = .
Given x 0 C , compute the sequences { x n } and { y n } such that
y n = J ς 2 M 2 ( x n ς 2 A 2 x n ) , x n = α n f ( x n 1 ) + δ n x n 1 + β n V x n 1 + γ n [ μ S x n + ( 1 μ ) J ς 1 M 1 ( y n ς 1 A 1 y n ) ] , n 1 ,
where S x = ( 1 α ) x + α T x , x C with 0 < α < min { 1 , λ c 2 } and μ ( 0 , 1 ) . Then x n x * , y n y * and
(a) 
( x * , y * ) solves the GSVI (1);
(b) 
x * solves the variational inequality: ( I f ) x * , j ( u x * ) 0 , u Ω .
Proof. 
By Lemmas 5 and 8, Q and S are nonexpansive and F ( S ) = F ( T ) . Put A : = μ S + ( 1 μ ) Q with μ ( 0 , 1 ) . It is easy to see that the implicit iterative scheme (4) can be rewritten as
x n = α n f ( x n 1 ) + δ n x n 1 + β n V x n 1 + γ n A x n , n 1 .
Consider the mapping F n u = α n f ( x n 1 ) + δ n x n 1 + β n V x n 1 + γ n A u , u C . According to Lemma 3, we have
F n u F n v = γ n A u A v γ n u v , u , v C .
Hence F n is a contraction. Thus, (5) and hence (4) are all well-posed.
Let u Ω . Thus, T u = u and Q u = u . It is clear that
x n u = α n f ( x n 1 ) + δ n x n 1 + β n V x n 1 + γ n A x n u = α n ( f ( x n 1 ) u ) + δ n ( x n 1 u ) + β n ( V x n 1 u ) + γ n ( A x n u ) .
By Lemma 3, we get
x n u α n f ( x n 1 ) u + δ n x n 1 u + β n V x n 1 u + γ n A x n u α n ( f ( x n 1 ) f ( u ) + f ( u ) u ) + δ n x n 1 u + β n ( V x n 1 V u + V u u ) + γ n x n u α n ( k x n 1 u + f ( u ) u ) + δ n x n 1 u + β n ( x n 1 u + V u u ) + γ n x n u = α n f ( u ) u + ( 1 ( 1 k ) α n γ n ) x n 1 u + β n V u u + γ n x n u .
By condition (ii), without loss of generality, we assume that β n α n for all n 1 . Hence,
x n u [ 1 ( 1 k ) α n 1 γ n ] x n 1 u + α n 1 γ n f ( u ) u + β n 1 γ n V u u [ 1 ( 1 k ) α n 1 γ n ] x n 1 u + α n 1 γ n f ( u ) u + α n 1 γ n V u u = [ 1 ( 1 k ) α n 1 γ n ] x n 1 u + α n 1 γ n ( f ( u ) u + V u u ) max { x n 1 u , ( f ( u ) u + V u u ) / ( 1 k ) } .
Thus, { x n } , { T x n } , { S x n } , { y n } , { Q x n } and { A x n } are all bounded.
Set q = J ς 2 M 2 ( u ς 2 A 2 u ) and z n = J ς 1 M 1 ( y n ς 1 A 1 y n ) . Then z n = Q x n , n 1 . By virtue of Lemma 4, we get
y n q 2 = J ς 2 M 2 ( x n ς 2 A 2 x n ) J ς 2 M 2 ( u ς 2 A 2 u ) 2 x n u ς 2 ( A 2 x n A 2 u ) 2 x n u 2 2 ς 2 ( ζ 2 c 2 ς 2 ) A 2 x n A 2 u 2 ,
and
z n u 2 = J ς 1 M 1 ( y n ς 1 A 1 y n ) J ς 1 M 1 ( q ς 1 A 1 q ) 2 y n q ς 1 ( A 1 y n A 1 q ) 2 y n q 2 2 ς 1 ( ζ 1 c 2 ς 1 ) A 1 y n A 1 q 2 .
Substituting (7) for (8), we derive
z n u 2 x n u 2 2 ς 2 ( ζ 2 c 2 ς 2 ) A 2 x n A 2 u 2 2 ς 1 ( ζ 1 c 2 ς 1 ) A 1 y n A 1 q 2 .
In view of (5) and (9), we obtain
x n u 2 = α n f ( x n 1 ) u , j ( x n u ) + δ n x n 1 u , j ( x n u ) + β n V x n 1 u , j ( x n u ) + γ n ( 1 μ ) S x n + μ z n u , j ( x n u ) α n f ( x n 1 ) u , j ( x n u ) + δ n x n 1 u x n u + β n V x n 1 u x n u + γ n ( 1 μ ) S x n + μ z n u x n u δ n x n 1 u x n u + γ n [ ( 1 μ ) x n u + μ z n u ] x n u + α n [ f ( x n 1 ) f ( u ) , j ( x n u ) + f ( u ) u , j ( x n u ) ] + β n ( V x n 1 V u + V u u ) x n u δ n x n 1 u x n u + γ n [ ( 1 μ ) x n u + μ z n u ] x n u + α n [ k x n 1 u x n u + f ( u ) u , j ( x n u ) ] + β n ( x n 1 u + V u u ) x n u α n f ( u ) u , j ( x n u ) + [ 1 ( 1 k ) α n γ n ] / 2 ( x n 1 u 2 + x n u 2 ) + β n V u u x n u + γ n x n u 2 γ n μ [ ς 2 ( ζ 2 c 2 ς 2 ) A 2 x n A 2 u 2 + ς 1 ( ζ 1 c 2 ς 1 ) A 1 y n A 1 q 2 ] .
It follows that
γ n μ [ ς 2 ( ζ 2 c 2 ς 2 ) A 2 x n A 2 u 2 + ς 1 ( ζ 1 c 2 ς 1 ) A 1 y n A 1 q 2 ] [ 1 ( 1 k ) α n γ n ] / 2 ( x n 1 u 2 + x n u 2 ) + α n f ( u ) u , j ( x n u ) + β n V u u x n u ( 1 γ n ) x n u 2 α n f ( u ) u x n u + [ 1 ( 1 k ) α n γ n ] / 2 ( x n 1 u 2 + x n u 2 ) + β n V u u x n u .
By the assumptions (ii) and (iii), we conclude
lim n A 2 x n A 2 u = 0 and lim n A 1 y n A 1 q = 0 .
Utilizing Lemma 1 and Proposition 1, we have
y n q 2 = J ς 2 M 2 ( x n ς 2 A 2 x n ) J ς 2 M 2 ( u ς 2 A 2 u ) 2 ( x n ς 2 A 2 x n ) ( u ς 2 A 2 u ) , j ( y n q ) = x n u , j ( y n q ) + ς 2 A 2 u A 2 x n , j ( y n q ) [ x n u 2 + y n u 2 g 1 ( x n y n ( u q ) ) ] / 2 + ς 2 A 2 u A 2 x n y n q .
It follows that
y n q 2 x n u 2 g 1 ( x n y n ( u q ) ) + 2 ς 2 A 2 u A 2 x n y n q .
Similarly,
z n u 2 = J ς 1 M 1 ( y n ς 1 A 1 y n ) J ς 1 M 1 ( q ς 1 A 1 q ) 2 ( y n ς 1 A 1 y n ) ( q ς 1 A 1 q ) , j ( z n u ) = y n q , j ( z n q ) + ς 1 A 1 q A 1 y n , j ( z n u ) 1 2 [ y n q 2 + z n u 2 g 2 ( y n z n + ( u q ) ) ] + ς 1 A 1 q A 1 y n z n u ,
which implies that
z n u 2 y n q 2 g 2 ( y n z n + ( u q ) ) + 2 ς 1 A 1 q A 1 y n z n u .
Substituting (12) for (13), we get
z n u 2 x n u 2 g 1 ( x n y n ( u q ) ) g 2 ( y n z n + ( u q ) ) + 2 ς 2 A 2 u A 2 x n y n q + 2 ς 1 A 1 q A 1 y n z n u .
From (10) and (14), we have
x n u 2 α n f ( u ) u , j ( x n u ) + [ 1 ( 1 k ) α n γ n ] ( x n 1 u 2 + x n u 2 ) / 2 + β n V u u x n u + γ n ( x n u 2 + ( 1 μ ) x n u 2 + μ z n u 2 ) / 2 α n f ( u ) u , j ( x n u ) + [ 1 ( 1 k ) α n γ n ] ( x n 1 u 2 + x n u 2 ) / 2 + β n V u u x n u + γ n x n u 2 γ n μ 2 [ g 1 ( x n y n ( u q ) ) + g 2 ( y n z n + ( u q ) ) ] + γ n μ ( ς 2 A 2 u A 2 x n y n q + ς 1 A 1 q A 1 y n z n u ) .
It follows that
γ n μ 2 [ g 1 ( x n y n ( u q ) ) + g 2 ( y n z n + ( u q ) ) ] α n f ( u ) u , j ( x n u ) + [ 1 ( 1 k ) α n γ n ] ( x n 1 u 2 + x n u 2 ) / 2 + β n V u u x n u ( 1 γ n ) x n u 2 + γ n μ ( ς 2 A 2 u A 2 x n y n q + ς 1 A 1 q A 1 y n z n u ) α n f ( u ) u x n u + [ 1 ( 1 k ) α n γ n ] ( x n 1 u 2 + x n u 2 ) / 2 + β n V u u x n u + ς 2 A 2 u A 2 x n y n q + ς 1 A 1 q A 1 y n z n u .
This together with conditions (ii) and (iii) implies that
lim n g 1 ( x n y n ( u q ) ) = 0 and lim n g 2 ( y n z n + ( u q ) ) = 0 .
Hence,
lim n x n y n ( u q ) = 0 and lim n y n z n + ( u q ) = 0 .
In light of (15), we have
x n z n x n y n ( u q ) + y n z n + ( u q ) 0 ,
which means that
lim n x n Q x n = 0 .
Note that
γ n x n A x n = α n ( f ( x n 1 ) x n ) + δ n ( x n 1 x n ) + β n ( V x n 1 x n ) α n f ( x n 1 ) x n + δ n x n 1 x n + β n V x n 1 x n .
Thus,
lim n x n A x n = 0 .
Also, observe that
μ S x n x n = A x n x n ( 1 μ ) ( Q x n x n ) A x n x n + Q x n x n .
In terms of (16) and (17), we obtain
lim n x n S x n = 0 .
Since S = ( 1 α ) I + α T with 0 < α < min { 1 , λ c 2 } , it is easy from (3.15) that
lim n x n T x n = 0 .
Define a net { u t } by u t = ( 1 t ) A u t + t f ( u t ) . So,
u t x n = t ( f ( u t ) x n ) + ( 1 t ) ( A u t x n ) .
It follows that
u t x n 2 2 t f ( u t ) x n , j ( u t x n ) + ( 1 t ) 2 A u t x n 2 2 t f ( u t ) x n , j ( u t x n ) + ( 1 t ) 2 [ A u t A x n + A x n x n ] 2 2 t f ( u t ) x n , j ( u t x n ) + ( 1 t ) 2 [ u t x n + A x n x n ] 2 = ( 1 t ) 2 [ u t x n 2 + A x n x n 2 + 2 u t x n A x n x n ] + 2 t f ( u t ) x n , j ( u t x n ) ,
that is,
u t x n 2 A x n x n ( 2 u t x n + A x n x n ) + 2 t u t x n 2 + 2 t f ( u t ) u t , j ( u t x n ) + ( 1 t ) 2 u t x n 2 = ( 1 + t 2 ) u t x n 2 + 2 t f ( u t ) u t , j ( u t x n ) + A x n x n ( 2 u t x n + A x n x n ) .
It follows that
u t f ( u t ) , j ( u t x n ) t 2 u t x n 2 + 1 2 t ( 2 u t x n + A x n x n ) A x n x n .
Letting n in (20), from (17), we have
lim n ¯ u t f ( u t ) , j ( u t x n ) t M 0 2
where M 0 is a constant such that u t x n 2 M 0 , n 0 , t ( 0 , 1 ) . By Lemma 6, u t x * Ω , which solves ( I f ) x * , j ( x * x ) 0 , x Ω . Letting t 0 + in (21), we deduce
lim n ¯ x * f ( x * ) , j ( x * x n ) 0 .
Putting u = x * in (10), we obtain
x n x * 2 α n f ( x * ) x * , j ( x n x * ) + [ 1 ( 1 k ) α n γ n ] ( x n 1 x * 2 + x n x * 2 ) / 2 + β n V x * x * x n x * + γ n x n x * 2 .
Consequently, we have
x n x * 2 2 α n 1 + ( 1 k ) α n γ n f ( x * ) x * , j ( x n x * ) + 1 ( 1 k ) α n γ n 1 + ( 1 k ) α n γ n x n 1 x * 2 + 2 β n 1 + ( 1 k ) α n γ n V x * x * x n x * = ( 1 υ n ) x n 1 x * 2 + υ n ϱ n ,
where υ n = 2 ( 1 k ) α n 1 + ( 1 k ) α n γ n and
ϱ n = β n ( 1 k ) α n V x * x * x n x * + 1 1 k f ( x * ) x * , j ( x n x * ) .
Now, observe that
( 1 k ) α n = 2 ( 1 k ) α n 2 2 ( 1 k ) α n 1 γ n + ( 1 k ) α n = υ n .
Observe that lim n ¯ ϱ n 0 . With the help of Lemma 7, we get x n x * . Moreover, putting u = x * and q = y * = J ς 2 M 2 ( I ς 2 A 2 ) x * in (15), we obtain
lim n x n y n ( x * y * ) = 0 .
Note that
y n y * x n y n ( x * y * ) + x * x n .
So, it follows that y n y * as n . Consequently, ( x * , y * ) is a solution of (1) by Lemma 2. □

4. Conclusions

In this paper, we consider the GSVI (1) with the hierarchical variational inequality (HVI) constraint for a strict pseudocontraction in a uniformly convex and 2-uniformly smooth Banach space. By utilizing the equivalence between the GSVI (1) and the fixed point problem, we construct an implicit composite viscosity approximation method for solving the GSVI (1) with the HVI constraint for strict pseudocontractions. We prove the strong convergence of the proposed algorithm to a solution of the GSVI (1) with the HVI constraint for strict pseudocontraction under very mild conditions. Note that our algorithm (4) is an implicit manner. This brings us a natural question: could we construct an explicit algorithm with strong convergence?
