We introduce a new iterative scheme for finding a common element of the set of solutions of
the equilibrium problems, the set of solutions of variational inequality for a relaxed cocoercive
mapping, and the set of fixed points of a nonexpansive mapping. The results presented in this
paper extend and improve some recent results of Ceng and Yao 2008,Yao2007, S. Takahashi
and W. Takahashi 2007, Marino and Xu 2006, Iiduka and Takahashi 2005,Suetal.2008,and

1. Introduction
Throughout this paper, we always assume that H is a real Hilbert space with inner product
·, · and norm ·, respectively, C is a nonempty closed and convex subset of H,andP
C
is
the metric projection of H onto C. In the following, we denote by “ → ” strong convergence,
by “” weak convergence, and by “R” the real number set. Recall that a mapping S : C → C
is called nonexpansive i f
Sx − Sy≤x − y, ∀x, y ∈ C. 1.1
We denote by FS the set of fixed points of the mapping S.
For a given nonlinear operator A, consider the problem of finding u ∈ C such that
Au, v − u≥0, ∀v ∈ C, 1.2

which is called the variational inequality. For the recent applications, sensitivity analysis,
dynamical systems, numerical methods, and physical formulations of the variational
inequalities, see 1–24 and the references therein.
For a given z ∈ H, u ∈ C satisfies the inequality
u − z, v − u≥0, ∀v ∈ C, 1.3
if and only if u P
C
z, where P
C
is the projection of the Hilbert space onto the closed convex
set C.
It is known that projection operator P
C
is nonexpansive. It is also known that P
C
satisfies
x − y, P
C
x − P
C
y≥P
C
x − P
C

1.4
Moreover, P
C
x is characterized by the properties P
C
x ∈ C and x − P
C
x, P
C
x − y≥0 for all
y ∈ C.
Using characterization of the projection operator, one can easily show that the
variational inequality 1.2 is equivalent to finding the fixed point problem of finding u ∈ C
which satisfies the relation
u P
C
u − λAu
, 1.5
where λ>0 is a constant.
This fixed-point formulation has been used to suggest the following iterative scheme.

which is known as the projection iterative method for solving the variational inequality
1.2. The convergence of this iterative method requires that the operator A must be strongly
monotone and Lipschitz continuous. These strict conditions rule out their applications in
many important problems arising in the physical and engineering sciences. To overcome
these drawbacks, Noor 2, 3 used the technique of updating the solution to suggest the two-
step or predictor-corrector method for solving the variational inequality 1.2. For a given

which is also known as the modified double-projection method. For the convergence analysis
and applications of this method, see the works of Noor 3 and Y. Yao and J C. Yao 16.
Numerous problems in physics, optimization, and economics reduce to find a
solution of 2.12. Some methods have been proposed to solve the equilibrium problem;
see 4, 5. Combettes and Hirstoaga 4 introduced an iterative scheme for finding the best
approximation to the initial data when EPF is nonempty and proved a strong convergence

for approximating a common element of the set of fixed points of a nonexpansive nonself
mapping and the set of solutions of the equilibrium problem and obtained a strong
convergence theorem in a real Hilbert space.
Iterative methods for nonexpansive mappings have recently been applied to solve
convex minimization problems; see 7–11 and the references therein. A typical problem is
to minimize a quadratic function over the set of the fixed points of a nonexpansive mapping
on a real Hilbert space H:
min

where A is a linear bounded operator, C is the fixed point set of a nonexpansive mapping S,
and b is a given point in H.In10, 11, it is proved that the sequence {x

iterative method below, with the initial guess x

sequence {x

2. Preliminaries
For solving the equilibrium problem for a bifunction F : C × C → R, let us 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
t → 0
Ftz 1 − tx, y ≤ Fx, y;
A4 for each x ∈ C, y → Fx, y is convex and lower semicontinuous.
Recall the following.
1 B is called ν-strong monotone if for all x, y ∈ C, we have
Bx − By, x − y≥νx − y
2
,
2.1
for a constant ν>0. This implies that
Bx − By≥νx − y, 2.2
that is, B is ν-expansive, and when ν 1, it is expansive.
2 B is said to be μ-cocoercive 2, 3 if for all x, y ∈ C, we have
Bx − By, x − y
≥ μBx − By
2
, for a constant μ>0.
2.3
Clearly, every μ-cocoercive map B is 1/μ-Lipschitz continuous.
3 B is called −μ-cocoercive if there exists a constant μ>0 such that
Bx − By, x − y≥−μBx − By
2
, ∀x, y ∈ C.
2.4
4 B is said to be relaxed μ, ν-cocoercive if there exists two constants μ, ν > 0 such that
Bx − By, x − y≥−μBx − By
2
νx − y
2
, ∀x, y ∈ C,

for μ 0, B is ν-strongly monotone. This class of maps are more general than the class of
strongly monotone maps. It is easy to see that we have the following implication: ν-strongly
monotonicity ⇒ relaxed μ, ν-cocoercivity.
We will give the practical example of the relaxed μ, ν-cocoercivity and Lipschitz
continuous operator.
Example 2.1. Let Tx κx, for all x ∈ C, for a constant κ>1; then, T is relaxed μ, ν-cocoercive
and Lipschitz continuous. Especially, T is ν-strong monotone.
Proof. 1. Since Tx κx, for all x ∈ C, we have T : C → C. For for all x, y ∈ C, for all μ ≥ 0, we
also have the below
Tx − Ty,x − y κx − y
2
≥−μTx − Ty
2
κ − 1
x − y
2
.
2.6
Taking ν κ − 1, it is clear that T is relaxed μ, ν-cocoercive.
2. Obviously, for for all x, y ∈ C
Tx − Ty≤
κ 1
x − y. 2.7
Then, T is κ 1 Lipschitz continuous.
Especially, Taking μ 0, we observe that
Tx − Ty,x − y≥
κ − 1
x − y
2
. 2.8
Obviously, T is ν-strong monotone.
The proof is completed.
5 A mapping f : H → H is said to be a contraction if there exists a coefficient
α 0 ≤ α<1 such that
f
x
− f
y
≤αx − y, ∀x, y ∈ H. 2.9
6 An operator A is strong positive if there exists a constant
γ>0 with the property
Ax, x≥
γx
2
, ∀x ∈ H.
2.10
7 A set-valued mapping T : H → 2
H
is called monotone if for all x, y ∈ H, f ∈ Tx,
and g ∈ Ty imply x − y, f − g≥0. A monotone mapping T : H → 2
H
is maximal if the
graph of GT of T is not properly contained in the graph of any other monotone mapping.
It is well known that a monotone mapping T is maximal if and only if for x, f ∈ H × H,
x − y, f − g≥0 for every y,g ∈ GT implies f ∈ Tx.

Let B be a monotone map of C into H and let N

v be the normal cone to C at v ∈ C,

2.11
Then T is the maximal monotone and 0 ∈ Tv if and only if v ∈ VIC, B;see1.
Related to the variational inequality problem 1.2, we consider the equilibrium
problem, which was introduced by Blum and Oettli 19 and Noor and Oettli 20 in 1994. To
be more precise, let F be a bifunction of C × C into R, where R is the set of real numbers.
For given bifunction F·, · : C × C → R, we consider the problem of finding x ∈ C
such that
F
x, y
≥ 0, ∀y ∈ C 2.12
which is known as the equilibrium problem. The set of solutions of 2.12 is denoted by EPF.
Given a mapping T : C → H,letFx, yTx,y
− x for all x, y ∈ C. Then x ∈ EPF if
and only if Tx,y − x≥0 for all y ∈ C,thatis,x is a solution of the variational inequality.
That is to say, the variational inequality problem is included by equilibrium problem, and the
variational inequality problem is the special case of equilibrium problem.
Assume that
T is a potential function for T i.e., ∇TxTx for all x ∈ C, it is well
known that x ∈ C satisfies the optimality condition Tx,y − x≥0 for all y ∈ C if and only if
find a point x ∈ C such that
Tx min

2.13
We can rewrite the variational inequality Tx,y − x≥0 for all y ∈ C as, for any γ>0,

Next, we show that

Correspondingly, there exists a subsequence {y

a subsequence {y

assume that y

Since Hilbert spaces satisfy Opial’s condition, from 3.43, suppose w

Remark 3.2. Some iterative algorithms were presented in Yamada 11, Combettes 24,and

method, and the conjugate gradient methods; these methods have common form

Remark 3.3. The computational possibility of the resolvent, T

Theorem 3.1 is well defined mathematically, but, in general, the computation of T

is very
difficult in large-scale finite spaces and infinite spaces.
