1. Introduction
The fixed point theory of nonlinear operators has been a rapidly growing area of research. The starting point of this theory is Banach’s classical theorem [1] concerning the existence of a unique fixed point for a strict contraction. The main goals of this theory are to show the existence of a fixed point for a given nonlinear mapping and to construct an iterative process which generates an approximate fixed point and, in some cases, converges to a fixed point of the mapping [2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10]. Fixed point theory contains the study of various classes of nonlinear common fixed point problems which have applications in engineering, medical and the natural sciences [9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18]. In this paper, we study the Krasnoselskii–Mann method, which is of great importance and interest [19,20,21,22,23,24,25], in order to obtain approximate coincidence points of set-valued mappings in metric spaces with a hyperbolic structure. It should be mentioned that the study of coincidence points of nonlinear mappings is an important topic in fixed point theory [26,27,28,29,30,31]. Krasnoselskii–Mann iterations for a construction of approximate fixed points of a (quasi)-nonexpansive operator in a Hilbert space were independently introduced by Mann in 1953 [23] and by Krasnoselskii in 1955 [22]. Their weak convergence is well known in the literature. Krasnoselskii–Mann iterations are important for numerical optimization and variational analysis, where many problems can be reduced to finding fixed points of appropriate operators. In the current paper, our goal is to show that most of iterates obtained by the Krasnoselskii–Mann method are approximate coincidence points of set-valued mappings in metric spaces with a hyperbolic structure.
Assume that is a metric space. For each and each set
For each and each set put
Assume that , . For each mapping set for each and for each integer define . Denote the cardinality of a set E with Card. We assume that the sum over an empty set is zero and that the infimum of an empty set is equal to infinity.
A W-space is a structure where is a metric space and . We think of as a convex combination of the points with the coefficients and use the notation
A W-space is called a W-hyperbolic space [32] if for all and all the following properties hold:
(W1)
(W2)
(W3)
(W4)
It is obvious that convex subsets of normed spaces are W-hyperbolic spaces. Other examples of W-hyperbolic spaces are hyperbolic spaces [7], Busemann spaces [2], and spaces [33].
In the following, we assume that is a W-hyperbolic space, which is denoted by X for simplicity.
A nonempty set is convex if for each and each ,
For each , each nonempty set and each , set
The following result is well-known in the literature [34,35].
Proposition 1.

Let be a W-hyperbolic space. We assume that the W-hyperbolic space X has a structure , where is a so-called monotone modulus of uniform convexity (see [2,36,37,38]) such that the following assumptions hold.
(B1) For each , each and each , if
then
(B2) For each and each numbers satisfying ,
It turns out that this class of spaces is an appropriate setting for obtaining quantitative results on the asymptotic behavior of the Mann iteration for nonexpansive mappings, as well as of the Picard iteration for firmly nonexpansive mappings [2]. It contains uniformly convex normed spaces and CAT(0) space.
In this chapter, we use the following lemma. For its proof, see Lemma 2.1 (iv) of [38].
Lemma 1.

Then, for each and each ,
In the following, we assume that is a W-hyperbolic space equipped with the structure , where is the modulus of uniform convexity. We also assume that (B1) and (B2) hold, C is a nonempty convex set and . For each pair of nonempty sets put

A point belonging to the set F is a solution of our coincidence point problem while a point that belongs to the set is its -approximate coincidence point. In this paper, we use the Krasnoselskii–Mann method in order to generate -approximate coincidence points and generalize analogous results obtained in [39] in the case when for each ,

6. Conclusions
In this paper, we use the Krasnoselskii–Mann method in order to generate approximate coincidence points of set-valued mappings in metric spaces with a hyperbolic structure. We generalize analogous results obtained in [39] in the case where the set-valued mapping is a union of a finite family of single-valued mappings.
