A new hybrid iterative method for solution of equilibrium problems and fixed point problems for an inverse strongly monotone operator and a nonexpansive mapping

In this paper, we introduce an iterative scheme by a new hybrid method for finding a common element of the set of fixed points of a nonexpansive mapping, the set of solutions of an equilibrium problem and the set of solutions of the variational inequality for α-inverse-strongly monotone mappings in a real Hilbert space. We show that the iterative sequence converges strongly to a common element of the above three sets under some parametric controlling conditions by the new hybrid method which is introduced by Takahashi et al. (J. Math. Anal. Appl., doi: 10.1016/j.jmaa.2007.09.062, 2007). The results are connected with Tada and Takahashi’s result [A. Tada and W. Takahashi, Weak and strong convergence theorems for a nonexpansive mappings and an equilibrium problem, J. Optim. Theory Appl. 133, 359–370, 2007]. Moreover, our result is applicable to a wide class of mappings.
