Four recent papers 1–4 present simple and elegant proofs of fixed point results for pointwise contractions, asymptotic pointwise contractions, and asymptotic nonexpansive mappings. Kirk and Xu 1 study these mappings in the context of weakly compact convex subsets of Banach spaces, respectively, in uniformly convex Banach spaces. Hussain and Khamsi 2 consider these problems in the framework of m...

We study the connection between uniformly convex functions f : X → R bounded above by ‖ · ‖p, and the existence of norms on X with moduli of convexity of power type. In particular, we show that there exists a uniformly convex function f : X → R bounded above by ‖ · ‖2 if and only if X admits an equivalent norm with modulus of convexity of power type 2.

the notion of a bead metric space is defined as a nice generalization of the uniformly convex normed space such as $cat(0)$ space, where the curvature is bounded from above by zero. in fact, the bead spaces themselves can be considered in particular as natural extensions of convex sets in uniformly convex spaces and normed bead spaces are identical with uniformly convex spaces. in this paper, w...

We study the strong convergence of two kinds of viscosity iteration processes for approximating common fixed points of the pseudocontractive semigroup in uniformly convex Banach spaces with uniformly Gâteaux differential norms. As special cases, we get the strong convergence of the implicit viscosity iteration process for approximating common fixed points of the nonexpansive semigroup in Banach...

We investigate the equivalence between the convergences of the Mann iteration method and the Ishikawa iteration method with errors for demicontinuous φ-strongly accretive operators in uniformly smooth Banach spaces. A related result deals with the equivalence of theMann iterationmethod and the Ishikawa iterationmethod for φ-pseudocontractive operators in nonempty closed convex subsets of unifor...
