A Picard-Mann hybrid iterative process
Safeer Hussain Khan · Fixed Point Theory and Applications · 2013
We introduce a new iterative process which can be seen as a hybrid of Picard and Mann iterative processes. We show that the new process converges faster than all of Picard, Mann and Ishikawa iterative processes in the sense of Berinde (Iterative Approximation of Fixed Points, 2002) for contractions. We support our analytical proof by a numerical example. We prove a strong convergence theorem with the help of our process for the class of nonexpansive mappings in general Banach spaces and apply it to get a result in uniformly convex Banach spaces. Our weak convergence results are proved when the underlying space satisfies Opial’s condition or has Fréchet differentiable norm or its dual satisfies the Kadec-Klee property. MSC: 47H10, 54H25.
