The purpose of this paper is to consider the problem of finding a common element in the solution
set of equilibrium problems and in the fixed point set of a strictly pseudocontractive mapping.
Strong convergence of the purposed hybrid projection algorithm is obtained in Hilbert spaces.
1. Introduction and Preliminaries
Let H be a real Hilbert space with inner product ·, · and norm ·.LetC be a nonempty
closed convex subset of H and S : C → C a nonlinear mapping. In this paper, we use FS
to denote the fixed point set of S. Recall that the mapping S is said to be nonexpansive if
Sx − Sy
≤
x − y
, ∀x, y ∈ C. 1.1
S is said to be k-strictly pseudocontractive if there exists a constant k ∈ 0, 1 such that
Sx − Sy
2
≤
x − y

y − Sy

S is said to be pseudocontractive if

The class of strictly pseudocontractive mappings was introduced by Browder and Petryshyn
1 in 1967. It is easy to see that the class of strictly pseudocontractive mappings falls into the
class of nonexpansive mappings and the class of pseudocontractions.
Let A : C → H be a mapping. Recall that A is said to be monotone if
Ax − Ay, x − y
≥ 0, ∀x, y ∈ C. 1.4
A is said to be inverse-strongly monotone if there exists a constant α>0 such that
Ax − Ay, x − y
≥ α
Ax − Ay

, ∀x, y ∈ C. 1.5
Let F be a bifunction of C × C into R, where R denotes the set of real numbers and
A : C → H an inverse-strongly monotone mapping. In this paper, we consider the following
generalized equilibrium problem.
Find x ∈ C such that F
x, y
Ax, y − x
≥ 0, ∀y ∈ C. 1.6
In this paper, the set of such an x ∈ C is denoted by EPF, A,thatis,
EP
F, A
x ∈ C : F
x, y
Ax, y − x
≥ 0, ∀y ∈ C
. 1.7
To study the generalized equilibrium problems 1.6, we may assume that F satisfies
the following conditions:
A1 Fx, x0 for all x ∈ C;
A2 F is monotone, that is, Fx, yFy,x ≤ 0 for all x, y ∈ C;
A3 for each x, y, z ∈ C,
lim sup
t↓0
F
tz
1 − t
x, y
≤ F
x, y
; 1.8
A4 for each x ∈ C, y → Fx, y is convex and weakly lower semicontinuous.
Next, we give two special cases of the problem 1.6.
I If A ≡ 0, then the generalized equilibrium problem 1.6 is reduced to the following
equilibrium problem:
Find x ∈ C such that F
x, y
≥ 0, ∀y ∈ C. 1.9
In this paper, the set of such an x ∈ C is denoted by EPF,thatis,
EP
F
x ∈ C : F
x, y
≥ 0, ∀y ∈ C
. 1.10
Journal of Inequalities and Applications 3
II If F ≡ 0, then the problem 1.6 is reduced to the following classical variational
inequality. Find x ∈ C such that
Ax, y − x
≥ 0, ∀y ∈ C. 1.11
It is known t hat x ∈ C is a solution to 1.11 if and only if x is a fixed point of the
mapping P
C
I − ρA, where ρ>0 is a constant and I is the identity mapping.
Recently, many authors studied the problems 1.6 and 1.9 based on iterative
methods; see, for example, 2–18.
In 2007, Tada and Takahashi 17 considered the problem 1.9 and proved the
following result.
Theorem TT. Let C be a nonempty closed convex subset of H.LetF be a bifunction from C × C to R
satisfying A1–A4 and let S be a nonexpansive mapping of C into H such that FS ∩ EPF

In this paper, we consider the generalized equilibrium problem 1.6 and a strictly
pseudocontractive mapping based on the shrinking projection algorithm which was first
introduced by Takahashi et al. 18. A strong convergence of common elements of the
fixed point sets of the strictly pseudocontractive mapping and of the solution sets of the
generalized equilibrium problem is established in the framework of Hilbert spaces. The
results presented in this paper improve and extend the corresponding results announced
by Tada and Takahashi 17.
In order to prove our main results, we also need the following definitions and lemmas.
Lemma 1.1 see 19. Let C be a nonempty closed convex subset of a Hilbert space H and T : C →
C a k-strict pseudocontraction. Then T is 1 k/1 − k-Lipschitz and I − T is demiclosed, this is, if
{x

is closed and convex for each n ≥ 1. From the
assumption, we see that C

C is closed and convex. Suppose that C

for some m ≥ 1. We show that C

is closed and convex for the same m. Indeed, for any

Thus C
