1. Introduction
Let
H be a real Hilbert space with inner product
and associated norm
. Recall that a mapping
is said to be a strict pseudo-contraction if there exists
such that
In particular, it is well known that if
in (
1), then the mapping
T in (
1) is said to be a firmly nonexpansive mapping and the equivalent form of this mapping can be written as
Furthermore, if
in (
1), then the mapping
T in (
1) is called a nonexpansive mapping which we can view (
1) in this particular case as
, see [
1,
2] for more details.
We denote by
the set of all fixed points of
T. Let
C be a nonempty closed convex subset of
H. Then for every
there exists a unique
such that
and if we define
by
for all
then
is called the
metric projection (or nearest point projection) of
H onto
C, see [
3,
4,
5] more details.
Fixed Point Problem: The following is the fixed point problem for the mapping
T usually represented by:
Fixed point problems have found wide-ranging applications across various fields of mathematics, engineering, computer science, and other disciplines. These problems involve finding points in a function’s domain that remain unchanged after applying the function, making them essential in solving equations, optimization, economic equilibrium analysis, signal processing, control systems, machine learning, and fractal geometry. By providing a framework for iterative methods and stability analysis, fixed point problems offer powerful tools to tackle complex problems and uncover solutions in diverse areas of study.
The well known and important iterative algorithm for finding a solution of (
2) was proposed by Mann [
6] as follows:
where
is chosen from
Reich [
7] showed that if
T in (
3) is a nonexpansive with a fixed point and
satisfies some appropriate conditions, then (
3) converges weakly to a fixed point of
T. Later, Ishikawa [
8] relied on Mann’s ideas and proposed the following iterative method for a Lipschitzian pseudo-contraction in Hilbert spaces as follows:
Under certain suitable conditions of
C,
, and
, he was able to prove that (
4) converges strongly to a fixed point of
T. On the other hand, Halpern [
9] presented a new approach for finding a fixed point of a nonexpansive mapping
T which differs from Mann’s method by forcing one point of the vector to rest as follows:
where
is chosen from
It can be proved under some appropriate conditions that (
5) converges strongly to a fixed point of
T. After that, Moudafi [
10] developed a new iterative method which guarantees strong convergence that later came to be known as the viscosity approximation method by combining the Halpern iterative method with the contraction mapping. Many researchers studied the concept of viscosity method and then developed this method in many directions, see [
11,
12,
13,
14,
15] for more details. In 2019, Bot et al. [
16] modified and developed (
3) to induce strong convergence to a fixed point of a nonexpansive mapping without relying on the concept of viscosity approximation method. Their method is as follows:
when
and
are sequences chosen from
with suitable assumptions.
On the other hand, it is well known that the fixed point problem (
2) has the strong relationship with the
monotone inclusion problem which it can be written as follows:
where
is a multi-value operator. Indeed, for example, if
V is a multi-value maximal monotone operator, then
resolvent operator is a single-value and firmly nonexpansive mapping where
. Furthermore, for solving all solutions of (
7) is equivalent to solve all solutions of the fixed point problem of
or equivalently to say that
, where
is the set of all zero points of
V (see
Section 4 and [
3,
4] for more details).
In 1964, Polyak [
17] proposed several strategies to improve the convergence rate of iteration methods. These techniques include modifications to the classical iterative schemes, such as the use of variable relaxation parameters and acceleration techniques by using the inertial extrapolation term, that is,
where
is a sequence that satisfies appropriate conditions. Consequently, the inertial extrapolation has received attention and has been studied by many authors, see [
18,
19,
20,
21,
22,
23,
24,
25] more details. In 2019, Shehu [
26] proposed an algorithm that combines the inertial method, the Halpern method, and error terms to solve a fixed point of a nonexpansive mapping. Later, Kitkuan et al. [
27] employed the idea of inertial viscosity to find some solutions of monotone inclusion problems and apply to solve image restoration problems. Recently, Akutsah et al. [
28] introduced a new algorithm for finding a common fixed point of generalized nonexpansive mappings. Moreover, the fixed point problems have been studied in many aspects, see for instance [
29,
30,
31,
32,
33]. Inspired by Bot et al. [
16], Artsawang and Ungchittrakool [
25] introduced the inertial Mann-type algorithm for finding a fixed point of a nonexpansive mapping and applying to monotone inclusion and image restoration problems as follows:
where
are some appropriate sequences chosen from
.
Common Fixed Point Problem: the common fixed point problem for the mapping
S and
T is generally denoted by the following:
The common fixed point problem (
8) has many applications in various disciplines such as numerical analysis, optimization, dynamical systems, game theory, control theory, topology, computer science, and economics, etc. To approximate the common fixed points of two mappings, Das and Debata [
34] and Takahashi and Tamura [
35] generalized the Ishikawa iterative algorithm for mappings
S and
T as follows:
where
are some sequences chosen in
. Later, Khan and Fukhar-ud-din [
36] introduced and studied a scheme with errors for two nonexpansive mappings.
In 2007, Aoyama et al. [
37] introduced and studied Halpern iterative algorithm for a countable family of nonexpansive mappings and provided some important conditions on a countable family of nonexpansive mappings which later known as
AKTT condition to guarantee the convergence result to a common fixed point solution.
As mentioned above, all of these researches inspired and drove us to develop a new iterative algorithm, which is as follows:
Let
be any two countable families of nonexpansive mappings such that
. We propose the following algorithm:
for all
, where
with
,
and
are sequences in
and
is a sequence in
H.
Moreover, we can apply Equation (
9) as a tool to find a zero point solution of the sum of three monotone operators
as follows:
where
are some monotone operators on a Hilbert space
H,
W is
-cocoercive with parameter
, and
and
(see
Section 4 for more details). The problem (
10) can be viewed as a generalization of Artsawang and Ungchittrakool [
25] and Davis and Yin [
38]. It is useful to note the importance and association that (
10) can be rewritten to be some common fixed point problems of nonexpansive mappings (see
Section 4 for more details). For this reason, finding a solution of the monotone inclusion problem (
10), it can be applied the ideas of common fixed point problem and fixed point iterative algorithms to solve (
10). For practical applications, we can use by-products obtained from Equation (
9) to solve the image restoration problems. Furthermore, the effectiveness of our novel algorithm is substantiated by presenting numerical outcomes in different scenarios. These results conclusively establish that our algorithm outperforms its predecessor, as evidenced by the higher performance exhibited in the numerical analysis.
3. Main Results
In this section, we analyze the convergence of Equation (
9), starting with the boundedness property of the algorithm, as stated in the following lemma.

4. Applications
This section focuses on exploring the potential uses of Equation (
9) and its by-products in specific cases from Equation (
9) to solve monotone inclusion problems.
Recall that the operator is said to be:
