Abstract The purpose of this research is to study a finite family of the set of solutions of variational inequality problems and to prove a convergence theorem for the set of such problems and the sets of fixed points of nonexpansive and strictly pseudo-contractive mappings in a uniformly convex and 2-uniformly smooth Banach space. We also prove a fixed point theorem for finite families of nonexpansive and strictly pseudo-contractive mappings in the last section. Keywords: nonexpansive mapping; strictly pseudo-contractive mapping; inverse-strongly monotone; variational inequality problems; uniformly convex; 2-uniformly smooth

1 Introduction Let E and E∗ be a Banach space and the dual space of E, respectively, and let C be a nonempty closed convex subset of E. Throughout this paper, we use ‘→’ and ‘’ to denote ∗ strong and weak convergence, respectively. The duality mapping J : E → E is defined by J(x) = {x∗ ∈ E∗ : x, x∗  = x , x = x∗ } for all x ∈ E. Definition . Let E be a Banach space. Then a function δX : [, ] → [, ] is said to be the modulus of convexity of E if     x + y   : x ≤ , y ≤ , x – y ≥  . δE () = inf  –    If δE () >  for all  ∈ (, ], then E is uniformly convex. The function ρE : R+ → R+ is said to be the modulus of smoothness of E if  ρE (t) = sup

 x + y + x – y –  : x = , y = t , 

t ≥ .

If limt→ ρEt(t) = , then E is uniformly smooth. It is well known that every uniformly smooth Banach space is smooth and if E is smooth, then J is single-valued which is denoted by j. A Banach space E is said to be q-uniformly smooth if there exists a fixed constant c >  such that ρE (t) ≤ ct q . If E is q-uniformly smooth, then q ≤  and E is uniformly smooth. © 2014 Kangtunyakarn; licensee Springer.

A mapping T : C → C is called nonexpansive if Tx – Ty ≤ x – y for all x, y ∈ C. T is called η-strictly pseudo-contractive if there exists a constant η ∈ (, ) such that     Tx – Ty, j(x – y) ≤ x – y – η(I – T)x – (I – T)y

for every x, y ∈ C and for some j(x – y) ∈ J(x – y). It is clear that (.) is equivalent to the following:     (I – T)x – (I – T)y, j(x – y) ≥ η(I – T)x – (I – T)y
