Let H be a real Hilbert space and let F : H → H be a boundedly Lipschitzian and strongly monotone operator. We design three hybrid steepest descent algorithms for solving variational inequality VIC, F of finding a point x∗ ∈ C such that Fx∗ , x − x∗  ≥ 0, for all x ∈ C, where C is the set of fixed points of a strict pseudocontraction, or the set of common fixed points of finite strict pseudocontractions. Strong convergence of the algorithms is proved.

1. Introduction Let H be a real Hilbert space with the inner product ·, · and the norm  · , let C be a nonempty closed convex subset of H, and let F : C → H be a nonlinear operator. We consider the problem of finding a point x∗ ∈ C such that

Fx∗ , x − x∗  ≥ 0,

∀x ∈ C.

1.1

This is known as the variational inequality problem i.e., VIC, F, initially introduced and studied by Stampacchia 1 in 1964. In the recent years, variational inequality problems have been extended to study a large variety of problems arising in structural analysis, economics, optimization, operations research, and engineering sciences; see 1–6 and the references therein.

Fixed Point Theory and Applications

Yamada 7 proposed hybrid methods to solve VIC, F, where C is composed of fixed points of a nonexpansive mapping; that is, C is of the form C ≡ FixT  : {x ∈ H : T x  x},

1.2

where T : H → H is a nonexpansive mapping i.e., T x − T y ≤ x − y for all x, y ∈ H, F : H → H is Lipschitzian and strongly monotone. He and Xu 8 proved that VIC, F has a unique solution and iterative algorithms can be devised to approximate this solution if F is a boundedly Lipschitzian and strongly monotone operator and C is a closed convex subset of H. In the case where C is the set of fixed points of a nonexpansive mapping, they invented a hybrid iterative algorithm to approximate the unique solution of VIC, F and this extended the Yamada’s results. The main purpose of this paper is to continue our research in 8. We assume that F is a boundedly Lipschitzian and strongly monotone operator as in 8, but C is the set of fixed points of a strict pseudo-contraction T : H → H, or the set of common fixed points of finite strict pseudo-contractions Ti : H → H i  1, . . . , N. For the two cases of C, we will design the hybrid iterative algorithms for solving VIC, F and prove their strong convergence, res
