Bachar and Khamsi Fixed Point Theory and Applications (215) 215:16 DOI 1.1186/s13663-15-45-3 R E S E A R C H Open Access On common approximate fixed points of monotone nonexpansive semigroups in Banach spaces Mostafa Bachar 1* and Mohamed A Khamsi 2,3 * Correspondence: mbachar@ksu.edu.sa 1 Department of Mathematics, College of Sciences, King Saud University, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia Full list of author information is available at the end of the article Abstract In this paper, we investigate the common approximate fixed points of monotone nonexpansive semigroups of nonlinear mappings {T(t)} t, i.e., a family such that T()x = x, T(s + t)x = T(s) T(t)x, where the domain is a Banach space. In particular we prove that under suitable conditions, the common approximate fixed points are the same as the common approximate fixed points set of two mappings from the family. Then we give an algorithm of how to construct an approximate fixed point sequence of the semigroup in the case of a uniformly convex Banach space. MSC: Primary 47H9; secondary 46B2; 47H1; 47E1 Keywords: approximate fixed point; common approximate fixed point; fixed point; common fixed point; integral equation; monotone nonexpansive mapping; semigroup 1 Introduction Nonexpansive mappings are those maps which have Lipschitz constant equal to 1. The fixed point theory for such mappings is rich and varied. It finds many applications in nonlinear functional analysis. The existence of fixed points for nonexpansive mappings in Banach and metric spaces has been investigated since the early 196s; see, e.g., Belluce and Kirk [1, 2], Browder [3], Bruck [4], Lim [5]. In recent years, a new direction has been very active essentially after the publication of Ran and Reurings fixed point theorem [6] dealing with the extension of the Banach contraction principle to metric spaces endowed with a partial order. In particular, they show how this extension is useful when dealing with some special matrix equations. It is worth mentioning that similar results were discovered by Turinici [7, 8]. Another similar approach was carried out by Nieto and Rodríguez-López [9]andusedsuchargumentsin solving some differential equations. In [1] Jachymski gave a more general unified version of these extensions by considering graphs instead of a partial order. The purpose of this paper is to prove the existence of approximate fixed points for semigroups of nonlinear monotone mappings acting in a Banach vector space endowed with a partial order. Note that from a numerical point of view, approximate fixed points are very useful since exact fixed points may be hard to find. Moreover, we will also give an algorithm of how to build such approximate fixed points. Let us recall that a family {T(t)} t of 215 Bachar and Khamsi.

Bachar and Khamsi Fixed Point Theory and Applications (215) 215:16 Page 2 of 11 mappings forms a semigroup if T()x = x and T(s + t)x = T(s)T(t). Such a situation is quite typical in mathematics and applications. For instance, in the theory of dynamical systems, the vector function space would define the state space and the mapping (t, x) T(t)x would represent the evolution function of a dynamical system. In the setting of this paper, the state space is a Banach space. Our approach is new and different from the ideas found in [6 9, 11]. Indeed when one deals with a contraction, the focus is usually on the distance being complete. But when dealing with nonexpansive mappings, then geometric properties of the space are crucial. For more on metric fixed point theory, the reader may consult the books [12, 13]. As for the semigroup theory, we suggest the references [14 16]. 2 Preliminaries Let (X, ) be a Banach vector space and suppose that is a partial order on X.Throughout, we will assume that the partial order and the liner structure of X enjoys the following convexity property: a b and c d αa +(1 α)c αb +(1 α)d for any α [, 1] and a, b, c, d X. Moreover, we will assume that order intervals are closed. Recall that an order interval is any of the subsets (i) [a, )={x X; a x}, (ii) (, a]={x X; x a}, for any a X. Next we give the definition of monotone nonexpansive mappings. Definition 2.1 Let (X,, ) beasabove.letc be a nonempty subset of X. Amap T : B X is said to be (a) monotone if T(x) T(y) whenever x y; (b) monotone nonexpansive if T is monotone and T(x) T(y) x y for any x, y C such that x y. A fixed point of T is any element x C such that T(x)=x. Thesetofallfixedpointsof T is denoted by Fix(T). A sequence {x n } is called an approximate fixed point sequence of T if lim T(x n ) x n =. The set of approximate fixed point sequences of T will be denoted by AFPS(T). This definition is extended to the case of semigroup of mappings. Definition 2.2 Let (X,, ) beasabove.letc be a nonempty subset of X. Aoneparameter family F = {T(t); t } of mappings from C into C is said to be a monotone nonexpansive semigroup if F satisfies the following conditions: (i) T()x = x for x C; (ii) T(t + s)=t(t) T(s) for t, s [, ); (iii) for each t, T(t) is a monotone nonexpansive mapping.

Bachar and Khamsi Fixed Point Theory and Applications (215) 215:16 Page 3 of 11 Define then the set of all common fixed points of F as Fix(F)= t Fix(T(t)). Similarly, define the set of approximate point sequences of F, denotedbyafps(f), as AFPS(F)= t AFPS(T(t)). Next we give an example of such semigroup. Example 2.1 Let (X,, ) beasabove.letc be a nonempty closed, bounded convex subset of X.LetJ : C C be a monotone nonexpansive mapping. Let x C be such that x J(x). Consider the recurrent sequence defined by { u (t)=x, u n+1 (t)=e t x + (2.1) es t J(u n (s)) ds for any t [, A], where A is a fixed positive number. Then the sequence {u n (t)} is Cauchy for any t [, A]. Indeed, let us suppose that x, y :[,A] X are continuous functions. For each t [, A], we have e t y(t)+ e s t x(s) ds e t y + K(t) x, (2.2) where u = sup{ u(s) ; t [, A]} and K(t)= es t ds =1 e t. Indeed, let t [, A]be fixed, and τ = {t i ; i =,1,...,n} be any subdivision of [, t]. Set n 1 S τ = e t y(t)+ (t i+1 t i )e ti t x(t i ). i= The family {S τ } is norm-convergent to S = e t y(t)+ e s t x(s) ds, when τ = sup{ t i+1 t i ; i =,1,...,(n 1)} goes to. Since sup x(s) sup x(s) = x s [,t] s [,A] and S τ e t n 1 y(t) + (t i+1 t i )e ti t x e t y(t) + K(t) x, where we used n 1 (t i+1 t i )e ti t i= i= e s t ds = K(t), then we have S e t y(t) + K(t) x. Therefore we have e t y(t)+ e s t x(s) ds e t y + K(t) x

Bachar and Khamsi Fixed Point Theory and Applications (215) 215:16 Page 4 of 11 for any t [, A]. Next we discuss the sequence {u n (t)}.since u 1 (t)=e t x + e s t J(x) ds = e t x + ( 1 e t) J(x), t [, A], we have u (t) u 1 (t) for any t [, A]. Assume that u n (t) u n+1 (t) for any t [, A]. Then we have J(u n (t)) J(u n+1 (t)) for any t [, A]becauseJ is monotone. Using the properties of the partial order,weget u n+1 (t)=e t x + e s t J ( u n (s) ) ds e t x + e s t J ( u n+1 (s) ) ds = u n+2 (t) for any t [, A]. By induction, we conclude that {u n (t)} is monotone increasing for any t [, A]. Moreover, we have u n+2 (t) u n+1 (t)= e s t( J ( u n+1 (s) ) J ( u n (s) )) ds, t [, A], which implies by using the monotone nonexpansive behavior of J un+2 (t) u n+1 (t) e s t ( J un+1 (s) ) J ( u n (s) ) ds, t [, A], or u n+2 (t) u n+1 (t) e s t u n+1 (s) u n (s) ds, t [, A] for any n. From this inequality and by induction, we get un+1 (t) u n (t) ( 1 e A ) n diam(c), t [, A], where diam(c)=sup{ y z ; y, z C} <,sincec is bounded. Hence un+h (t) u n (t) (1 e A ) n 1 (1 e A ) diam(c)=ea( 1 e A) n diam(c) for any t [, A]andn, h N. Clearly this implies that {u n (t)} is Cauchy for any t [, A]. Sinceorderintervalsareclosed,weconcludethatthelimitu(t)of{u n (t)} satisfies u n (t) u(t) for any n and t [,A]. Using the monotone nonexpansive behavior of J, we get J ( u n (t) ) J ( u(t) ) u n (t) u(t) e A( 1 e A) n diam(c) for any t [, A]andn, h N.Inparticular,wehavelim n + J(u n (t)) = J(u(t)), uniformly in [, A], which implies u(t)=e t x + e s t J ( u(s) ) ds, t [, A]. (2.3) Moreover, the same proof as above will show that if x y,thenu n (t) U n (t), for any n, t, where u n and U n are the functions obtained by the initial values x and y respectively by (2.1). This will imply that u(t) U(t) for any t. Define the one-parameter family

Bachar and Khamsi Fixed Point Theory and Applications (215) 215:16 Page 5 of 11 F :[, ) C C by T(t)x = u(t). Then F defines a semigroup which is monotone nonexpansive. Indeed, we have u (t) U (t) = x y = x y.assume u n (t) U n (t) x y,thenbyusing(2.2)wewill have un+1 (t) U n+1 (t) e t x y + e s t un (s) U n (s) ds x y. By induction, u n (t) U n (t) x y holds for any n N and t [, A]. Hence T(t)x T(t)y = u(t) U(t) x y for any t [, A]. Moreover, we have T(t + s)x = e (t+s) x + = e (t+s) x + = e s (e t x + +s s = e s T(t)x + = T(s) ( T(t)x ) e (t+s σ ) J ( T(σ )x ) dσ e (t+s σ ) J ( T(σ )x ) dσ + e (t σ ) J ( T(σ )x ) ) dσ + e (s σ ) J ( T(t + σ )x ) dσ +s t s e (t+s σ ) J ( T(σ )x ) dσ, e (s σ ) J ( T(t + σ )x ) dσ for any t. Note that if we started by a point x C such that J(x) x, thenwewould have found that the sequence {u n (t)} is monotone decreasing for any t. In other words, the conclusion would have been the same. Moreover, if x is a fixed point of J,thenwehave u n (t)=x for any n N and t. Hence T(t)x = x for any t, i.e., x t Fix(T(t)). On the other hand, it is easy to show that if x Fix(F), then x Fix(J), which means we have Fix(J)= t Fix ( T(t) ). 3 Common approximate fixed points of semigroups Before we state our first result, we need the following definition. Definition 3.1 Let (X, ) be a Banach space and C X be nonempty. A one-parameter family F = {T(t); t } of mappings from C into X is said to be: (i) continuous on C if for any x C, themapping t T(t)x is continuous, i.e., for any t,wehave lim t t T(t)x T(t )x = for any x C;

Bachar and Khamsi Fixed Point Theory and Applications (215) 215:16 Page 6 of 11 (ii) strongly continuous on C if for any bounded nonempty subset K C,we have ( lim sup T(t)x T(t )x ) =. t t x K The following technical lemmas will be useful throughout. Lemma 3.1 Let (X, ) be a Banach space and C X be nonempty. Let J : C Cbea uniformly continuous mapping. Then we have AFPS(J) AFPS(J m ) for any m 2. Proof Without loss of generality we may assume that AFPS(J) isnotempty.let{x n } AFPS(J), i.e., lim J(x n ) x n =.Fixm 2, then we have m 1 J m (x n ) x n J k+1 (x n ) J k (x n ) k= for any n 1. Since T is uniformly continuous, then we must have lim J k+1 (x n ) J k (x n ) = for any k 1. Since m is fixed, we get lim J m (x n ) x n =,i.e., {x n } AFPS(J m ). Lemma 3.2 Let (X, ) be a Banach space and C X be nonempty. Let F = {T(t); t } be a one-parameter semigroup of uniformly continuous mappings from C into C. Let α and β be two positive real numbers. Then we have AFPS ( T(α) ) AFPS ( T(β) ) AFPS ( T(t) ), t G + (α,β) where G + (α, β)={mα + kβ ; m, k Z}. Proof Without loss of generality we may assume that AFPS(T(α)) AFPS(T(β)) is not empty. Let {x n } AFPS(T(α)) AFPS(T(β)). Let t G + (α, β). Then we have two cases. First assume t = mα + kβ,wherem, k. Then T(t)x n = T(mα + kβ)x n = T m (α) ( T k (β)x n ), which implies T(t)x n x n T m (α) ( T k (β)x n ) T m (α)x n + T m (α)x n x n for any n 1. Using Lemma 3.1 and the uniform continuity of T m (α), we get lim T(t)x n x n =,i.e., {x n } AFPS(T(t)). Next assume that t = mα + kβ, where either m or k is negative. Without loss of generality assume t = mα kβ,wherem, k. We have T(t)xn x n T(mα kβ)xn T(mα)x n + T(mα)xn x n.

Bachar and Khamsi Fixed Point Theory and Applications (215) 215:16 Page 7 of 11 Since T(mα) = T(mα kβ)t(kβ), and T(mα kβ) is uniformly continuous, Lemma 3.1 implies lim T(t)x n x n =,i.e., {x n } AFPS(T(t)). Hence {x n } t G + (α,β) AFPS ( T(t) ). The following lemma, which can be found in any introductory course on real analysis, will be crucial to proving the first result on common approximate fixed point of semigroups. Lemma 3.3 [17] Let G be a nonempty additive subgroup of R. Then G is either dense in R or there exists a >such that G = a Z = {an, n Z}. Therefore if α and β are two real numbers such that α is irrational, then the set β G(α, β)={αn + βm; n, m Z} is dense in R. In particular, the set G + (α, β)=g(α, β) [, + ) is dense in [, + ). Theorem 3.1 Let (X, ) be a Banach space and C X be nonempty and bounded. Let F = {T(t); t } be a one-parameter semigroup of uniformly continuous mappings from CintoC. Assume that F is strongly continuous. Let α and β be two positive real numbers such that α is irrational. Then we have β AFPS ( T(α) ) AFPS ( T(β) ) = AFPS(F). Proof Since AFPS(F) AFPS(T(α)) AFPS(T(β)), it is enough to just prove AFPS(T(α)) AFPS(T(β)) AFPS(F). Without loss of generality, assume that AFPS(T(α)) AFPS(T(β)) is not empty. Let {x n } AFPS(T(α)) AFPS(T(β)). Lemma 3.2 implies that {x n } AFPS ( T(t) ). t G + (α,β) From Lemma 3.3, weknowthatg + (α, β)=g(α, β) [, + ) isdensein[,+ ). Let t [, + ). Then there exists t m G + (α, β), m 1, such that lim m t m = t.wehave x n T(t)x n x n T(t m )x n + T(t m )x n T(t)x n xn T(t m )x n + sup T(t)x T(t)x. x C Let ε >.SinceF is strongly continuous, there exists m 1 such that for any m m, we have supt(t m )x T(t)x < ε. x C Since {x n } AFPS(T(m )) from Lemma 3.2,thereexistsn 1suchthat xn T(t m )(x n ) < ε

Bachar and Khamsi Fixed Point Theory and Applications (215) 215:16 Page 8 of 11 for any n n.hence xn T(t)x n xn T(t m )(x n ) + sup T(tm )x T(t)x <2ε x C for any n n.sinceε was arbitrarily positive, we conclude that lim T(t)x n x n =, i.e., {x n } AFPS(T(t)) for any t. As a corollary to Theorem 3.1, we get the following result. Corollary 3.1 Let (X, ) be a Banach space and C X be nonempty and bounded. Let F = {T(t); t } be a one-parameter semigroup of uniformly continuous mappings from C into C. Assumethat F is strongly continuous. Then we have AFPS(F)=AFPS ( T(1) ) AFPS ( T(π) ) = AFPS ( T(1) ) AFPS ( T( 2) ). All of the results obtained in this section may be easily stated in metric spaces. In the next section, we give an algorithm of how to construct an approximate fixed point sequence of two maps. 4 Common approximate fixed points of two monotone mappings In this section we discuss a construction of a common approximate fixed point sequence of two monotone nonexpansive mappings defined on a Banach space (X, ) endowedwith a partial order as described before. Let C X be a nonempty convex subset. Let J, H : C C be two mappings. Fix x 1 C,DasandDebata[18] studied the strong convergence of Ishikawa iterates {x n } defined by x n+1 = α n H ( β n J(x n )+(1 β n )x n ) +(1 αn )x n, (DD) where α n, β n [, 1]. Under suitable assumptions, we will show that {x n } is an approximate fixedpoint sequence of both J and H.AssumethatJ and H are monotone nonexpansive. Assume that there exists x 1 C such that x 1 J(x 1 )andx 1 H(x 1 ). We will also assume that H and J have a common fixed point p C such that x 1 and p are comparable. Using the convexity properties of the partial order, we will easily show that x n and p are comparable. Since H and J are monotone nonexpansive, we get H(x n ) p x n p and J(x n ) p x n p for any n 1. Hence x n+1 p = αn H(y n )+(1 α n )x n p α n H(y n ) p +(1 α n ) x n p α n y n p +(1 α n ) x n p = α n β n J(x n )+(1 β n )x n p +(1 α n ) x n p [ α n βnj(xn ) p +(1 βn ) x n p ] +(1 α n ) x n p [ α n βn x n p +(1 β n ) x n p ] +(1 α n ) x n p x n p,

Bachar and Khamsi Fixed Point Theory and Applications (215) 215:16 Page 9 of 11 where y n = β n J(x n )+(1 β n )x n for any n 1. This proves that { x n p } is decreasing, which implies that lim x n p exists. Using the above inequalities, we get lim x n p = lim α n H(y n )+(1 α n )x n p [ = lim αn H(y n ) p +(1 α n ) x n p ] [ = lim αn y n p +(1 α n ) x n p ] [ = lim αn β n J(x n )+(1 β n )x n p +(1 α n ) x n p ] [ ( = lim αn βnj(xn ) p +(1 βn ) x n p ) +(1 α n ) x n p ]. Before we state the main theorem of this section, let us recall the definition of a uniformly convex Banach space. Definition 4.1 [19] Let(X, )beabanachspace.x is said to be uniformly convex if and only if for any ε >,wehaveδ X (ε)>,where δ X (ε)=inf {1 12 } x + y ; x 1, y 1and x y ε. It is well known that if X is uniformly convex, then X is reflexive [19]. Moreover, we have [2] αx +(1 α)y 1 δx ( 2 min{α,1 α}ε ) for any α (, 1), ε >andx, y X such that x 1, y 1and x y ε. The following lemma will be needed to prove the main result of this section. Lemma 4.1 [2] Let (X, ) be a uniformly convex Banach space. Let {x n } and {y n } be in X such that lim sup x n R, lim sup y n R, and lim α n x n +(1 α n )y n = R, where α n [a, b], with <a b <1,and R. Then we have lim x n y n =. Next we state the main result of this section. Theorem 4.1 Let C be a nonempty, closed and convex subset of a uniformly convex Banach space (X, ). Let H, J : C C be monotone nonexpansive mappings such that H is uniformly continuous. Assume that there exists x 1 Csuchthatx 1 J(x 1 ) and x 1 H(x 1 ). We will also assume that H and J have a common fixed point p Csuchthatx 1 and p are comparable. Consider the sequence {x n } defined by x 1 and the recurrent formula (DD). Assume that α n, β n [α, β], with <α β <1,then lim xn H(x n ) = and lim xn J(x n ) =, i.e., {x n } AFPS(J) AFPS(H).

Bachar and Khamsi Fixed Point Theory and Applications (215) 215:16 Page 1 of 11 Proof We have already seen that { x n p } is decreasing. Set c = lim x n p.ifc =, then all the conclusions are trivial. Therefore we will assume that c >. Wehavealready seen that lim x n p = lim αn H(y n )+(1 α n )x n p [ = lim αnh(yn ) p +(1 αn ) x n p ]. We claim that lim H(y n ) p = c. Indeed, let U be a nontrivial ultrafilter over N.Then we have lim n,u α n = α [α, β]andlim n,u x n p = c.hence c = α lim n,u H(y n ) p +(1 α )c. Since α,wegetlim n,u H(y n ) p = c.sinceu was arbitrary, we get lim H(y n ) p = c as claimed. Therefore we have lim x n p = lim H(yn ) p = lim αn H(y n )+(1 α n )x n p. Using Lemma 4.1,wegetlim H(y n ) x n =. Since we already proved lim x [ n p = lim αn y n p +(1 α n ) x n p ], a similar argument will show that lim y n p = lim x n p. Moreover, we have lim x [ ( n p = lim αn βn J(x n ) p +(1 β n ) x n p ) +(1 α n ) x n p ]. If we use again ultrafilters, one will easily prove that lim J(x n ) p = lim x n p. Hence we have lim x n p = lim J(x n ) p = lim β n J(x n )+(1 β n )x n p. Using again Lemma 4.1,wegetlim J(x n ) x n =.Since lim y n x n = lim β n J(xn ) x n =, and H is uniformly continuous, we get lim H(x n ) H(y n ) =.Combinedwith lim H(y n ) x n =,weget lim H(xn ) x n =. Remark 4.1 If we assume that α n = α and β n = β with α, β (, 1), then under the assumptions of Theorem 4.1, we canprovethat x n x n+1 and y n y n+1 for any n 1. Since { x n p } and { y n p } are convergent, then both {x n } and {y n } are bounded. Therefore, they have a weak-cluster point since X is reflexive. Using the

Bachar and Khamsi Fixed Point Theory and Applications (215) 215:16 Page 11 of 11 convexity properties of the partial order in X, we will conclude that in fact {x n } and {y n } are weakly convergent. It is not clear to us that the weak-limit of {x n } is a fixed point of H and J. This will be the case if we have a demi-closed property for monotone nonexpansive mappings. Otherwise, we may assume that X satisfies the Opial condition [21]. In this case the weak-limit of {x n } will be a fixed point of T and S. As an example of a Banach space which satisfies all of the above assumptions, one may take X = l p,1<p <+. Competing interests The authors declare that they have no competing interests.
