Abstract
There are many methods for finding a common solution of a system of variational inequalities, a split equilibrium problem, and a hierarchical fixed-point problem in the setting of real Hilbert spaces. They proved the strong convergence theorem. Many split feasibility problems are generated in real Hillbert spaces. The open problem is proving a strong convergence theorem of three Hilbert spaces with different methods from the lasted method. In this research, a new split variational inequality in three Hilbert spaces is proposed. Important tools which are used to solve classical problems will be developed. The convergence theorem for finding a common element of the set of solution of such problems and the sets of fixed-points of discontinuous mappings has been proved.

1. Introduction
We use the following symbols throughout this paper: let H be a real Hilbert space and C be a nonempty closed convex subset of H. We also use the symbols and , which represent strong and weak convergence, respectively. The variational inequality problem (VIP) is a well known problem. That is to find a point such that
where is a mapping. The set of all solutions of (1) is denoted by .
The variational inequality problem has been applied in various fields such as industry, finance, economics, social, ecology, regional, pure and applied sciences; see [1,2,3]. For every , let be a real Hilbert space and be nonempty closed convex subset of , and , respectively. Recently, Censor [4] has introduced a new variational problem called the split inequality problem (SIP). It entails finding a solution of one variational inequality problem (VIP), the image of which, under a given bounded linear transformation, is a solution of another VIP.
The split variational inequality problem is assigned to the following formula; find a point such that
and a point solves
where is a bounded linear operator and are mappings. The set of all solutions of (2) and (3) is denoted by
The split variational inequality problem can be applied to model in intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) treatment planning.
There are also a lot of authors who have introduced convergence theorem related to the split variational inequality and fixed point problems; see [5,6,7] for an example. In [8], they have studied the Mann implicit iterations for strongly accreative and strongly pseudo-contractive mappings and found that this implicit scheme gives a better convergence rate estimate.
The following definitions are important tools used in this research. A mapping of H into itself is called nonexpansive if , for all We denote by the set of fixed points of (i.e., ). A nonexpansive mapping is equivalent to the following inequality;
for all . From the equation above if and we can conclude that;
A mapping A of C into H is called inverse strongly monotonic, if there exists such that
for all . In [9], Kohsaka and Takahashi introduced the nonspreading mapping in Hilbert spaces H which is defined by the following inequality for all .
Following the terminology of Browder and Petryshyn [10], in [11], Osilike and Isiogugu introduced the mapping , which is called —strictly pseudo-nonspreading mapping if there exists such that
for all . Clearly every nonspreading mapping is -strictly pseudo-nonspreading; see, for example, [11].
In [12], Bnouhachem modified a projection process for finding a common solution of a system of variational inequalities, a split equilibrium problem and a hierarchical fixed-point problem in the setting of real Hilbert spaces and also proved the strong convergence theorem of the sequence generated by
where is a bounded linear operator. Assume that and are the bifunctions; is a -inverse strongly monotonic mapping for each and nonexpansive mapping; is a k-Lipschitzian mapping and is -strongly monotonic; is a -Lipschitzian mapping; and the positive parameters are , for all .
Let C and Q be nonempty closed convex subsets of the real Hilbert spaces and , respectively. The split feasibility problem (SFP) is formulated as:
where is a bounded linear operator. The SFP are also applied in [13,14].
Recently, Moudafi [15] introduced the following new split feasibility problem, which is also called general split equality problem:
Let be real Hilbert spaces, be two nonempty closed convex sets and be two bounded linear operators. Moudafi studied the convergence of a relaxed alternating CQ-algorithm for solving the new split feasibility problem, aiming to find
In order to prove the weak convergence theory to solve general split equality problem (5), Moudafi defined the following iteration process :
where are adjoint operators of respectively, proper conditions of the positive paramiter , for all . In order to avoid using the projection, Moudafi [16] introduced and studied the following problem: Let and be nonlinear operators such that Fix ≠ Ø and Fix ≠ Ø, where Fix and Fix denote the sets of fixed points of T and S, respectively. If C = Fix and Q = Fix; then the split equality problem reduces to
which is called a split equality fixed point problem (SEFPP).
Denote by the solution set of split equality fixed point problem (6). There were recently SEFPP research articles in [17,18].
Question A. Can we prove a strong convergence theorem of three Hilbert spaces by different methods from Moudafi [15]?
For every , let be a real Hilbert space and be a nonempty closed convex subset of . Let be a mapping, for all , and let and . The split various variational inequality is to find the points
The set of the solutions of (7) is denoted by for all .
To answer question A, we have created a new tool to prove a strong convergence theorem for three Hilbert spaces to be used for finding the solution of the problem (7) and the fixed points problem of nonspreading and pseudo-nonspreading mappings. Preliminaries In this section, we collect some definitions and lemmas in Hilbert space, which will be needed for proving our main results. More properties of Hilbert space can be found in [19].
