Abstract
In this paper, we introduce an iterative algorithm for solving the split common fixed point problem for a family of multi-valued quasinonexpansive mappings and totally asymptotically strictly pseudocontractive mappings, as well as for a family of totally quasi--asymptotically nonexpansive mappings and k-quasi-strictly pseudocontractive mappings in the setting of Banach spaces. Our results improve and extend the results of Tang et al., Takahashi, Moudafi, Censor et al., and Byrne et al.

1. Introduction
Let and be two real Hilbert spaces and be a bounded linear operator. For nonlinear operators and , the split fixed point problem (SFPP) is to find a point:
It is often desirable to consider the above problem for finitely many operators. Given n nonlinear operators and m nonlinear operators , the split common fixed point problem (SCFPP) is to find a point:
In particular, if and , then the SCFPP reduces to the multiple sets split feasibility problem (MSSFP); that is, to find , such that where and are nonempty closed convex subsets in and , respectively.
In the Hilbert space setting, the split feasibility problem and the split common fixed point problem have been studied by several authors; see, for instance, [1,2,3]. In [4], Censor and Segal introduced the iterative scheme:
which solves the problem (1) for directed operators. This algorithm was then extended to the case of quasinonexpansive mappings [5], as well as to the case of demicontractive mappings [6]. Recently, Takahashi in [7,8] extended the split feasibility problem in Hilbert spaces to the Banach space setting. Then, Alsulami et al. [1] established some strong convergence theorems for finding a solution of the split feasibility problem in Banach spaces. Using the shrinking projection method of [8], Takahashi proved the strong convergence theorem for finding a solution of the split feasibility problem in Banach spaces. In this direction, Byrne et al. [2] studied the split common null point problem for multi-valued mappings in Hilbert spaces. Consider finitely many multi-valued mappings , and , and let be bounded linear operators. The split common null point problem is to find a point:
Very recently, using the hybrid method and the shrinking projection method in mathematical programming, Takahashi et al. [9] proved two strong convergence theorems for finding a solution of the split common null point problem in Banach spaces. In [10], Tang et al. proved a theorem regarding the split common fixed point problem for a k-quasi-strictly pseudocontractive mapping and an asymptotical nonexpansive mapping. In this paper, motivated by [11], we use the hybrid method to study the split common fixed point problem for an infinite family of multi-valued quasinonexpansive mappings and an infinite family of L-Lipschitzian continuous and -totally asymptotically strictly pseudocontractive mappings. Compared to the Theorem of Tang et al. [10], we remove an extra condition and present a strong convergence theorem, which is more desirable than the weak convergence. The point is that the authors of [10] considered a semi-compact mapping, that is a mapping T on a set X having the property that if is a bounded sequence in X such that tends to zero, then has a convergent subsequence. We will not assume that our mappings are semi-compact, and at the same time, we propose a different algorithm; instead, we impose some restrictions on the control sequences to get the strong convergence. We also present an algorithm for solving the split common fixed point problem for totally quasi--asymptotically nonexpansive mappings and for k-quasi-strictly pseudocontractive mappings. Under some mild conditions, we establish the strong convergence of these algorithms in Banach spaces. As applications, we consider the algorithms for a split variational inequality problem and a split common null point problem. Our results improve and generalize the result of Tang et al. [10], Takahashi [12], Moudafi [5], Censor et al. [13] and Byrne et al. [2].
2. Preliminaries
Let E be a real Banach space and C be a nonempty closed convex subset of E. A mapping is said to be -asymptotically nonexpansive if there exists a sequence with , such that:
The mapping is said to be k-quasi-strictly pseudocontractive if and there exists a constant , such that:
The mapping is said to be -totally asymptotically strictly pseudocontractive if there exist a constant and null sequences and in and a continuous strictly increasing function with , such that for all and :
A Banach space E is said to be uniformly smooth if as , where is the modulus of smoothness of E. Let ; then, E is called q-uniformly smooth if there exists a constant , such that for all .

Since ζ is continuous, ζ attains its maximum in , and by assumption, . In either case, we have . Let , then:
From (2) and Lemma 2(d,c), we have:
From Lemma 1, we have:
Since and T is a totally quasi-asymptotically strictly pseudocontractive mapping, we obtain:
From Lemma 1 and the fact that , we have:
Putting (3) and (8) into (2), we obtain:

(I) Both Ω and , , are closed and convex.
We know from Lemma 11 and Lemma 12 that and , , are closed and convex. This implies that Ω is closed and convex. Again, by the assumption, is closed and convex. Now, suppose that is closed and convex for some . In view of the definition of , we have:

This implies that and so, . Since and is uniformly convex, we obtain Now, the convergence of , together with , implies that If there exists some subsequence , such that , then from Lemma 2(a), we have:
i.e., , and so:
By the way, it follows from from (26) that is bounded, so:
Since , we have:
Since , it follows from (32) and Lemma 5 that for each :

4. Application
Let E be a uniformly-smooth Banach space, be the dual of E, J be the duality mapping on E and be a multi-valued operator. Recall that F is called monotone if , for any , where . A monotone operator F is said to be maximally monotone if its graph is not properly contained in the graph of any other monotone operator. For a maximally-monotone operator and , we can define a single-valued operator:
It is known that for any is firmly nonexpansive, and its domain is all of E, also if and only if .
Theorem 3.
Let be a real uniformly-convex and two-uniformly-smooth Banach space with the best smoothness constant t satisfying , and let be a real smooth Banach space and be a bounded linear operator. Let and , for , be maximal monotone mappings, such that and . Suppose:

Proof.
Since and are nonexpansive, the result follows from Corollary 1. ☐
Remark 1.
Set in Corollary 1, where is a maximal monotone mapping, then Corollary 1 improves Theorem 4.2 of Takahashi et al. [12].
Moudafi [28] introduced the split monotone variational inclusion (SMVIP) in Hilbert spaces. We present the SMVIP in a Banach space. Let and be two real Banach spaces and and be the duality mapping of and , respectively. Given the operators , a bounded linear operator and two multi-valued mappings and , the SMVI is formulated as follows:
Note that if C and Q are nonempty closed convex subsets of and , (resp.) and and , where and are normal cones to C and Q (resp.), then the split monotone variational inclusion problem reduces to the split variational inequality problem (SVIP), which is formulated as follows: find a point:
SVIP is quite general and enables the split minimization between two spaces in such a way that the image of a solution of one minimization problem, under a given bounded linear operator, is a solution of another minimization problem.
Let be an operator, and let . The operator h is called inverse strongly monotone with constant , or in brief , on E if:
Remark 2.
If is an operator on E and is a maximal monotone mapping, then is averaged for each .
Theorem 4.
Let be a real uniformly-convex and two-uniformly-smooth Banach space with the best smoothness constant t satisfying , and let be a real smooth Banach space and be a bounded linear operator. Let and, for , be maximal monotone mappings, such that and ; and that is an operator and is a operator. Assume that and . Suppose SMVI:
has a nonempty solution set Ω. Let be a sequence generated by and:
where ; the sequences satisfy the following conditions:
- (1)
- ,
- (2)
Then, converges strongly to an element of Ω.
Proof.
The results follow from Remark 2, Lemma 4(iii) and Corollary 1. ☐
We mention in passing that the above theorem improves and extends Theorems 6.3 and 6.5 of [13] to Banach spaces. Indeed, we removed an extra condition and obtained a strong convergence theorem, which is more desirable than the weak convergence already obtained by the authors.
