Iterative methods for the computation of fixed points of demicontractive mappings

This paper surveys some of the main convergence properties of the Mann-type iteration for the demicontractive mappings. Some variants of the Mann iteration that ensure the strong convergence, like the (CQ) algorithm and a variant for the asymptotically demicontractive mappings are also considered. The usual framework of our study is a (real) Hilbert space and only to a certain extent some particular Banach spaces. Historical aspects are pointed out and some applications for the convex feasibility problem are discussed. (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
