We introduce an iteration scheme for nonexpansive mappings in a Hilbert space and prove that the iteration converges strongly to common fixed points of the mappings without commutativity assumption.

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 said to be nonexpansive if Tx − T y  ≤ x − y ,

for each x, y ∈ C. For a mapping T of C into itself, we denote by F(T) the set of fixed points of T. We also denote by N and R+ the set of positive integers and nonnegative real numbers, respectively. Baillon [1] proved the first nonlinear ergodic theorem. Let C be a nonempty bounded convex closed subset of a Hilbert space H and letT be a nonexpansive mapping of C into itself. Then, for an arbitrary x ∈ C, {(1/(n + 1)) ni=0 T i x}∞ n=0 converges weakly to a fixed point of T. Wittmann [9] studied the following iteration scheme, which has first been considered by Halpern [3]: x0 = x ∈ C,

Nonexpansive mappings without commutativity assumption

{xn } defined by (1.2) converges strongly to the unique element Px ∈ F(T), where P is the metric projection of H onto F(T). Recall that two mappings S and T of H into itself are called commutative if

ST = TS,

(1.3)

for all x, y ∈ H. Recently, Shimizu and Takahashi [8] have first considered an iteration scheme for two commutative nonexpansive mappings S and T and proved that the iterations converge strongly to a common fixed point of S and T. They obtained the following result. Theorem 1.1 (see [8]). Let H be a Hilbert space, and let C be a nonempty closed convex subsetof H. Let S and T be nonexpansive mappings of C into itself such that ST = TS and F(S) F(T) is nonempty. Suppose that {αn }∞ n=0 ⊆ [0,1] satisfies (i)  limn→∞ αn = 0, and (ii) ∞ n=0 αn = ∞. Then, for an arbitrary x ∈ C, the sequence {xn }∞ n=0 generated by x0 = x and

converges strongly to a common fixed point Px of S and T, where P is the metric projection  of H onto F(S) F(T). Remark 1.2. At this point, we note that the authors have imposed the commutativity on the mappings S and T. But there are many mappings, that do not satisfy ST = TS. For example, if X = [−1/2,1/2], and S and T of X into itself are defined by S = x2 ,

T = sinx,

then ST = sin2 x, whereas TS = sinx2 . In this paper, we deal with the strong c
