Let {S
i
}
N
i1
be N strict pseudo-contractions defined on a closed and convex subset C of a real
Hilbert space H. We consider the problem of finding a common element of fixed point set
of these mappings and the solution set of a system of equilibrium problems by parallel and
cyclic algorithms. In this paper, new iterative schemes are proposed for solving this problem.
Furthermore, we prove that these schemes converge strongly by hybrid methods. The results
presented in this paper improve and extend some well-known results in the literature.
1. Introduction
Let H be a real Hilbert space with inner product ·, · and norm ·.LetC be a nonempty,
closed, and convex subset of H.
Let {F
k
} be a countable family of bifunctions from C × C to R, where R is the set of
real numbers. Combettes and Hirstoaga 1 considered the following system of equilibrium
problems:
finding x ∈ C such that F
k
x, y
≥ 0, ∀k ∈ Γ, ∀y ∈ C, 1.1
where Γ is an arbitrary index set. If Γ is a singleton, then problem 1.1 becomes the following
equilibrium problem:
finding x ∈ C such that F
x, y
≥ 0, ∀y ∈ C. 1.2
The solution set of 1.2 is denoted by EPF.

A mapping S of C is said to be a κ-strict pseudocontraction if there exists a constant
κ ∈ 0, 1 such that
Sx − Sy
2
≤
x − y
2
κ
I − S
x −
I − S
y
2
1.3
for all x, y ∈ C;see2. We denote the fixed point set of S by FS,thatis,FS{x ∈
C : Sx x}.
Note that the class of strict pseudocontractions properly includes the class of
nonexpansive mappings which are mapping S on C such that
Sx − Sy
≤
x − y
1.4
for all x, y ∈ C.Thatis,S is nonexpansive if and only if S is a 0-strict
pseudocontraction.
The problem 1.1 is very general in the sense that it includes, as special cases,
optimization problems, variational inequalities, minimax problems, Nash equilibrium
problem in noncooperative games, and others; see, for instance, 1, 3, 4 and the references
therein. Some methods have been proposed to solve the equilibrium problem 1.1; related
work can also be found in 5–8.
Recently, Acedo and Xu 9 considered the problem of finding a common fixed point
of a finite family of strict pseudo-contractive mappings by the parallel and cyclic algorithms.
Very recently, Duan and Zhao
10 considered new hybrid methods for equilibrium problems
and strict pseudocontractions. In this paper, motivated by 5, 8–12, applying parallel and
cyclic algorithms, we obtain strong convergence theorems for fi nding a common element of
the fixed point set of a finite family of strict pseudocontractions and the solution set of the
system of equilibrium problems 1.1 by the hybrid methods.
We will use the following notations:

{x : ∃x

2. Preliminaries
We will use the facts and tools in a real Hilbert space H which are listed below.
Lemma 2.1. Let H be a real Hilbert space. Then the following identities hold:

, for all t ∈ 0, 1, for all x, y ∈ H.
Lemma 2.2 see 6. Let H be a real Hilbert space. Given a nonempty, closed, and convex subset
C ⊂ H, points x, y, z ∈ H, and a real number a ∈ R, then the set
v ∈ C :
y − v

≤
x − v

a
2.1
is convex (and closed).

Recall that given a nonempty, closed, and convex subset C of a real Hilbert space H,
for any x ∈, there exists the unique nearest point in C, denoted by P
C
x, such that
x − P
C
x
≤
x − y
2.2
for all y ∈ C. Such a P
C
is called the metric or the nearest point projection of H onto C.As
we all know y P
C
x if and only if there holds the relation
x − y, y − z
≥ 0 ∀z ∈ C. 2.3

Then x

Proposition 2.4 see 9. Let C be a nonempty, c losed, and convex subset of a real Hilbert space H.

2.5
ii If T : C → C is a κ-strict pseudocontraction, then the mapping I − T is demiclosed (at 0).
That is, if {x

iii If T : C → C is a κ-strict pseudocontraction, then the fixed point set FT of T is closed
and convex. Therefore the projection P

For solving the equilibrium problem, let one assume that the bifunction F satisfies the following
conditions:
A1 Fx, x0 for all x ∈ C;
A2 F is monotone, that is, Fx, yFy,x ≤ 0 for any x, y ∈ C;
A3 for each x, y, z ∈ C, lim sup

Ftz 1 − tx, y ≤ Fx, y;
A4 Fx, · is convex and lower semicontinuous for each x ∈ C.
Lemma 2.6 see 3. Let C be a nonempty, closed, and convex subset of H,letF be bifunction from
C × C to R which satisfies conditions (A1)–(A4), and let r>0 and x ∈ H. Then there exists z ∈ C

In this section, we apply the hybrid methods to the parallel algorithm for finding a common
element of the fixed point set of strict pseudocontractions and the solution set of the problem
1.1 in Hilbert spaces.

Step 1. The sequence {x

It is obvious that C

is closed and convex for every n ∈ N.From
Lemma 2.2,wealsogetthatC

3.4
So p ∈ C
n
for all n ∈ N.ThusΩ ⊂ C
n
. Next we will show by induction that Ω ⊂ Q
n
for
all n ∈ N. For n 1, we have Ω ⊂ C Q
1
. Assume that Ω ⊂ Q
n
for some n ≥ 1. Since

. 3.5
As Ω ⊂ C
n
∩ Q
n
by induction assumption, the inequality holds, in particular, for all z ∈ Ω.
This together with the definition of Q
n1
implies that Ω ⊂ Q
n1
. Hence Ω ⊂ Q
n
holds for all
n ≥ 1. Thus Ω ⊂ C
n
∩ Q
n
, and therefore the sequence {x
n
} is well defined.
Step 2.
If q P

x

we imply that x

Ω ⊂ Q
n
further implies that
x
n

∀p ∈ Ω. 3.7
Then {x

that {u

Proof. The proof of this theorem is similar to that of Theorem 3.1.
Step 1. The sequence {x

convex for all n. For n 1, we have C C

which is closed and convex. Assume that C
n
for some n ≥ 1 is closed and convex; from Lemma 2.2, we have that C

convex; The proof of Ω ⊂ C
