We introduce a new general iterative method by using the K-mapping for finding a common fixed point of a finite family of nonexpansive mappings in the framework of Hilbert spaces. A strong convergence theorem of the purposed iterative method is established under some certain control conditions. Our results improve and extend the results announced by many others.

1. Introduction Let H be a real Hilbert space, and let C be a nonempty closed convex subset of H. A mapping T of C into itself is called nonexpansive if T x − T y ≤ x − y for all x, y ∈ C. A point x ∈ C is called a fixed point of T provided that T x  x. We denote by FT  the set of fixed points of T i.e., FT   {x ∈ H : T x  x}. Recall that a self-mapping f : C → C is a contraction on C, if there exists a constant α ∈ 0, 1 such that fx − fy ≤ αx − y for all x, y ∈ C. A bounded linear operator A on H is called strongly positive with coefficient γ if there is a constant γ > 0 with the property Ax, x ≥ γx2 ,

∀x ∈ H.

1.1

In 1953, Mann 1 introduced a well-known classical iteration to approximate a fixed point of a nonexpansive mapping. This iteration is defined as xn1  αn xn  1 − αn T xn ,

Fixed Point Theory and Applications

where the initial guess x0 is taken in C arbitrarily, and the sequence {αn }∞ n0 is in the interval 0, 1. But Mann’s iteration process has only weak convergence, even in a Hilbert space setting. In general for example, Reich 2 showed that if E is a uniformly convex Banach space and has a Frehet differentiable norm and if the sequence {αn } is such that Σ∞ n1 αn 1 − αn   ∞, then the sequence {xn } generated by process 1.2 converges weakly to a point in FT . Therefore, many authors try to modify Mann’s iteration process to have strong convergence. In 2005, Kim and Xu 3 introduced the following iteration process: x0  x ∈ C arbitrarily chosen,   yn  βn xn  1 − βn T xn ,

xn1  αn u  1 − αn yn . They proved in a uniformly smooth Banach space that the sequence {xn } defined by 1.3 converges strongly to a fixed point of T under some appropriate conditions on {αn } and {βn }. In 2008, Yao et al. 4 alsomodified Mann’s iterative scheme 1.2 to get a strong convergence
