Abstract
The aim of this paper is to introduce a modified viscosity iterative method to approximate a solution of the split variational inclusion problem and fixed point problem for a uniformly continuous multivalued total asymptotically strictly pseudocontractive mapping in spaces. A strong convergence theorem for the above problem is established and several important known results are deduced as corollaries to it. Furthermore, we solve a split Hammerstein integral inclusion problem and fixed point problem as an application to validate our result. It seems that our main result in the split variational inclusion problem is new in the setting of spaces.
1. Introduction
1.1. Cat(0) Space
Let be a metric space. A geodesic path joining x and y is a map such that
- , and .
- c is an isometry: for all .
In this case, is called a geodesic segment joining x and y which when unique is denoted by .
The space is said to be a geodesic space if any two points of X are joined by a geodesic segment.
A geodesic triangle in a geodesic space consists of three points in X (the vertices of ) and a geodesic segment between each pair of vertices (the edges of ).
A comparison triangle for geodesic triangle in is a triangle in such that for . Such a triangle always exists (Bridson and Haefliger [2]).
A metric space X is said to be a space if it is geodesically connected and every geodesic triangle in X is at least as ’thin’ as its comparison triangle in the Euclidean plane.
Let be a geodesic triangle in X, and let be its comparison triangle in . Then, X is said to satisfy inequality, if, for all and all comparison points ,
If , and is the midpoint of the segment , then, the inequality implies
It is well known that the following spaces are spaces: a complete, simply connected Riemannian manifold with non-positive sectional curvature, Pre-Hilbert spaces [2], Euclidean buildings [3], R-trees [18], and Hilbert ball with a hyperbolic metric [10,16].
1.2. Some Basic Concepts in Hilbert Space
Let H be a real Hilbert space with inner product and C a nonempty closed and convex subset of H.
The inner product generates norm via
for all .
A mapping is said to be total asymptotically strictly pseudocontractive (see [4]), if there exists a constant such that
holds for all , the sequences satisfy , and is strictly increasing and continuous mapping with .
For concepts such as bounded linear operator and its adjoint operator, maximal monotone operator and metric projection, we refer to Chidume [5].
The metric projection is parity and scale invariant (cf. Proposition 1.26(e) in [30]) in the sense that
consequently,
1.3. Counterpart of the above Concepts in the Setting of a Space
A mapping is said to be total asymptotically strictly pseudocontractive if there exists such that
holds for all , the sequences satisfy , and is strictly increasing and continuous mapping with .
Define an addition and a scalar multiplication in the space X as follows: for any and , we denote the point such that .
A mapping is said to be linear if for , we have
A mapping is said to be bounded if for all , there exists such that
Let C be a nonempty subset of a space X.
In [1], a mapping is said to be quasi-linearization in X if
holds for all ; here a pair is denoted by a vector . Consequently, we have
- for all ,
A mapping is said to be adjoint operator of A if for all , we have
Clearly, is a linear operator when so is A. As in a Hilbert space, we have
and hence, is bounded in X.
For any , there exists a unique point such that
and the mapping defined by is called the metric projection of X onto C (cf. Proposition 2.4 in [2]). Equivalently, in view of the characterization of Hossein and Jamal [12], we have
consequently,
equivalently,
where .
The metric projection is parity and scale invariant in the sense that
consequently,
1.4. Fixed Point Theory in a Space
Fixed point theory in a space has been introduced by Kirk (see for example [19]). He established that a nonexpansive mapping defined on a bounded, closed and convex subset of a complete space has a fixed point. Consequently, fixed point theorems in spaces have been developed by many mathematicians; see for example [8,29]. More so, some of these theorems in spaces are applicable in many fields of studies such as, graph theory, biology and computer science (see for example [9,18,20,31]).
Let be a multivalued mapping. A point is called a fixed point of T if and is called the fixed point set of T.
1.5. Our Motivation
As a generalized version of the well known split common fixed point problem, Moudafi [25] introduced the following split monotone variational inclusion (SMVI) by using maximal monotone mappings;
where and , is a bounded linear operator, and are given single-valued operators.
In 2000, Moudafi [26] proposed the viscosity approximation method by considering the approximate well-posed problem of a nonexpansive mapping S with a contraction mapping f over a nonempty closed and convex subset; in particular he showed that given an arbitrary in a nonempty closed and convex subset, the sequence defined by
where with as , converges strongly to the fixed point set of S, .
In [28], viscosity approximation method for split variational inclusion and fixed point problems in Hilbert Spaces was presented as follows.
where and are maximal monotone operators, and are resolvent mappings of and respectively, f is a Meir-Keeler mapping, T a nonexpansive mapping, is an adjoint of A, and .
In this paper, motivated by (8), we present a modified viscosity algorithm sequence and prove strong convergence theorem for split variational inclusion problem and fixed point problem of a total asymptotically strictly pseudocontractive mapping in the setting of two different spaces. It seems that our main result is new in the setting of spaces.
2. Preliminaries

Let X be a complete space with its dual (for details, see [17]). A mapping is said to be monotone if
A mapping is said to be maximal monotone if it is monotone and also has no monotone extension, that is, its graph is not properly contained in the graph of any other monotone operator on X.
For , a mapping defined by is said to be a resolvent of G.

3. Main Results
Let and be two spaces, be a closed and convex subset, bounded linear and unitary operator, and be uniformly continuous and maximal monotone operators, contraction mapping and be uniformly continuous multivalued total asymptotically strictly pseudocontractive mapping defined as

Denoted by is the fixed point set of a map T, let and . Then T is multivalued total quasi-asymptotically strictly pseudocontractive mapping if
Remark 1.
Please note that a multivalued total asymptotically strictly pseudocontractive mapping is multivalued total quasi-asymptotically strictly pseudocontractive provided, its fixed point set is nonempty.
Throughout this paper we shall strictly employ the above terminology.
For a bounded sequence in C, we employ the notion:
equivalently x is the asymptotic center of each subsequence of {xn}
Following Karapinar et al [14], we first establish a demiclosedness principle based on (10).
Lemma 7.
(Demiclosedness of T) Let T be a multivalued total asymptotically strictly pseudocontractive mapping on a closed and convex subset C of a space X. Let be a bounded sequence in C such that and . Then .
Proof.
By the hypothesis and so by Lemma 3, we get . Then by Lemma 1 (ii), we arrive at . Let . So we obtain
for all . From the hypothesis that T is multivalued total asymptotically strictly pseudocontractive mapping and by (11), choosing , we have
□
By (1), we get
Let and take superior limit on the both sides of the above inequality and get
Since , therefore we have
which implies that
Next, we prove our main result as follows.
Theorem 1.
Let be chosen arbitrarily and the sequence be defined as follows;
where is the adjoint operator of A, and . Suppose that is closed and convex, is demiclosed and , and the following conditions are satisfied;
- 1.
- there exists constant such that , ;
- 2.
- ;
- 3.
- T satisfies the asymptotically regular condition .
Then converges strongly to a point , where .
Proof.
We will divide the proof into three steps.
Step one. We prove that is bounded.
If , then by Lemma 4(ii) and (9) we obtain
whereas, by (6), (4), (5), and boundedness, linearity and unitary property of A, we have,
Since , and is arbitrary in , therefore by (19), we get
Step two. We will show that .
By Lemmas 1 and 2, there exists a subsequence of such that . Thus, . By Lemmas 5 and 6, we get
This implies that as
This implies that as
It follows from (24) that
Step three. We show that
By (14), we obtain
Since U and S are uniformly continuous, therefore it follows by (26), as , that . In addition, it is clear that . So by using (25) and applying the demiclosedness of , we have that , as . On the other hand, by Lemma 7 and (by (23)), we have by the hypothesis that , as T is uniformly continuous. Hence, . □
The proof is completed.
If and are total asymptotically strictly pseudocontractive in Theorem 1 and their fixed point sets and are nonempty, then we get:
Corollary 1.
Let be chosen arbitrarily and the sequence be defined as follows;
where is the adjoint operator of A, and . Suppose that is closed and convex, , and the following conditions are satisfied;
- 1.
- there exists constant such that , ;
- 2.
- ;
- 3.
- T satisfies the asymptotically regular condition .
Then converges strongly to a point , where .
Remark 2.
Corollary 1 is about split common fixed point problem and fixed point problem. Hence, this result is new in the literature; in particular, it generalizes similar results in [24,33] from Banach space setting to spaces.
In Theorem 1, let and , where is the metric projection of onto C. Then we get the following result.
Corollary 2.
Let be chosen arbitrarily and the sequence be defined as follows;
where is the adjoint operator of A, and . Suppose that is closed and convex, , and the following conditions are satisfied;
- 1.
- there exists a constant such that , ;
- 2.
- ;
- 3.
- T satisfies the asymptotically regular condition .
Then converges strongly to a point .
Remark 3.
As Corollary 2 deals with split feasibility problem and fixed point problem so it is a new result in the literature. It also extends similar results in Banach spaces [15,32] to the case of spaces.
4. Application to Split Hammerstein Integral Inclusion and Fixed Point Problem
An integral equation of Hammerstien-type is of the form
(see [11]).
By writing the above equation in the following form
without loss of generality, we have
If instead of the singlevalued maps f and k, we have the multivalued functions f and k, then we obtain Hammerstein integral inclusion in the form , where defined by and defined by , are bounded and maximal monotone operators (see for example [23]).
So the split Hammerstein integral inclusion problem is formulated as: find such that, for and
and such that, for and ,
where and , defined as F and K, respectively, are also bounded and maximal monotone.
Lemma 8.
Let X be a space, and let , be two multivalued maps. Define by . Suppose that F and K are monotone. Then D is monotone.
Proof.
Let and let . Then , , for some , , and . Therefore, by monotonicity of F and K, we get
□
This completes the proof of the lemma.
By Lemma 8, we have two resolvent mappings,
where is defined by
.
Now D and are maximal monotone by Lemma 8. When and in Theorem 1, the algorithm (1) becomes
and its strong convergence is guaranteed, which solves the split Hammerstein integral inclusion problem and fixed point problem for the mappings involved in this scheme.
