⟨(I − T) x − (I − T) y, j (x − y)⟩ ≥ k x − y 2 (4) for all x, y ∈ D(T), where k = (t − 1)/t ∈ (0, 1). Consequently, from inequality (4) it follows easily that T is strongly pseudocontractive if and only if x − y ≤ x − y + s [(I − T − kI) x − (I − T − kI) y] (5) for all x, y ∈ D(T) and s > 0. Closely related to the class of pseudocontractive maps is the class of accret...
