Abstract

We introduce methods which seem to be a new and promising tool in hierarchical fixed-point problems. The goal of this note is to analyze the convergence properties of these new types of approximating methods for fixed-point problems. The limit attained by these curves is the solution of the general variational inequality, 0(IQ)x+NFixP(x), where NFixP denotes the normal cone to the set of fixed point of the original nonexpansive mapping P and Q a suitable nonexpansive mapping criterion. The link with other approximation schemes in this field is also made.
