Abstract In this paper, we study the strong convergence of Moudafi’s viscosity approximation methods for approximating a common fixed point of a one-parameter continuous semigroup of nonexpansive mappings in CAT(0) spaces. We prove that the proposed iterative scheme converges strongly to a common fixed point of a one-parameter continuous semigroup of nonexpansive mappings which is also a unique solution of the variational inequality. The results presented in this paper extend and enrich the existing literature. Keywords: viscosity approximation method; nonexpansive semigroup; variational inequality; CAT(0) space; common fixed point

1 Introduction Let (X, d) be a metric space. A geodesic path joining x ∈ X to y ∈ X (or, more briefly, a geodesic from x to y) is a map c from a closed interval [, l] ⊂ R to X such that c() = x, c(l) = y, and d(c(t), c(t  )) = |t – t  | for all t, t  ∈ [, l]. In particular, c is an isometry and d(x, y) = l. The image α of c is called a geodesic (or metric) segment joining x and y. When it is unique, this geodesic segment is denoted by [x, y]. The space (X, d) is said to be a geodesic space if every two points of X are joined by a geodesic, and X is said to be uniquely geodesic if there is exactly one geodesic joining x and y for each x, y ∈ X. A subset Y ⊆ X is said to be convex if Y includes every geodesic segment joining any two of its points. A geodesic triangle (x , x , x ) in a geodesic metric space (X, d) consists of three points x , x , x in X (the vertices of ) and a geodesic segment between each pair of vertices (the edges of ). A comparison triangle for the geodesic triangle (x , x , x ) in (X, d) is a triangle ¯  , x , x ) := (¯x , x¯  , x¯  ) in the Euclidean plane E such that dE (¯xi , x¯ j ) = d(xi , xj ) for all (x i, j ∈ {, , }. A geodesic space is said to be a CAT() space if all geodesic triangles of appropriate size satisfy the following comparison axiom. ¯ be a comparison triangle for .
