1. Introduction
Throughout this article, we let H be a real Hilbert spaces with inner products and norms and let C be a nonempty closed convex subset of a real Hilbert spaces H.
Definition 1. Let C be a nonempty subset of a real Hilbert spaces H and be a self mapping. Z is called a nonexpansive mapping ifZ is called a firmly nonexpansive mapping if A mapping
is called
α-inverse strongly monotone [
1], if there exists a positive real number
such that
If
is
-inverse strongly monotone, then
W is
monotone mapping, that is,
Remark 1. (i) If in Equation (1), then W is firmly nonexpansive mapping.
For
, let
be a single-valued mapping and
be a multi-valued mapping, from the concept of variational inclusion problems, Khuangsatung and Kangtunyakarn [
2] introduced the problem of finding
such that
for all
with
and
is a zero vector. This problem is called
the modified variational inclusion. The set of solutions of Equation (
2) is denoted by
. If we set
for
then Equation (
2) reduces to
, which is the
variational inclusion problem. The set of solution of variational inclusion problem is denoted by
.
The variational inclusion problems are extensively studied in mathematical programming, optimal control, mathematical economics, etc. In recent years, considerable interest has been shown in developing various extensions and generalization of the variational inclusion problem; for instance [
3,
4] and reference therein.
The operator
M is called a maximal monotone [
5], if
M is monotone, i.e.,
, wherever
and the graph
of
M (that is,
) is not property contained in the graph of any other monotone operator.
Let resolvent operator be defined by , for all , where M is a multi-valued maximal monotone mapping, and I is an identity mapping.
Let
be a mapping. A point
is called a fixed point of
T if
. The set of fixed points of
T is denoted
. Fixed point problem is an important area of mathematical analysis. This problem applies about the solution in many problem in Hilbert space such as nonlinear operator equation, variational inclusion problem, etc.; for instance [
2,
3,
4,
5,
6,
7,
8,
9,
10,
11,
12,
13,
14,
15,
16,
17,
18].
Khuangsatung and Kangtunyakarn [
2] proposed the following iterative algorithm:
where
is a
-strictly pseudononspreading mapping (i.e., if there exists
such that
,
) and under certain assumptions of
is a bifunction for all
, they proved strong convergence theorem for solving the modified variational inclusion problem under some suitable conditions of
,
,
,
,
and
.
Over the decades, there are many mathematicians interested in studying the variational inequality problem, which is one of the important problems. The methods used to solve this problem can be applied for other solutions such as physics, economics, finance, optimization, network analysis, medical images, water resourced and structural analysis. The set of solution of the
variational inequality problem is denoted by
for all
and
is a mapping.
Many iterative methods have been developed for solving variational inequality problem, see, for instance [
7,
8].
By using the concept of the variational inequality problem, Moudafi and Mainge [
9] firstly introduced
hierarchical fixed point problem for a nonexpansive mapping
T with respect to another nonexpansive mapping
S on
H: Find
such that
where
is a nonexpansive mapping. It is easy to see that Equation (
3) is equivalent to the following fixed point problem: Find
such that
where
is the metric projection of
H onto
. The solution set of Equation (
3) is denoted by
. It is obvious that
. Note that Equation (
3) covers monotone variational inequality on fixed point sets, minimization problem, etc. Many iterative methods have been developed for solving the hierarchical fixed point problem in Equation (
3), see example [
9,
10,
11].
By using the concept of Krasnoselski–Mann iterative algorithm, Moudafi [
10] introduced iterative scheme (
5) for nonexpansive mapping
on a subset
C of Hilbert space:
He proved the weak convergence theorem of the sequence , where , satisfies
- (i)
,
- (ii)
,
- (iii)
.
Let
and
be two real Hilbert spaces and
C,
Q be a nonempty closed convex subset of a real Hilbert spaces
and
, respectively. Let
be a bounded linear operator. Censor and Elfving [
14] introduced
the split feasibility problem which is to find a point
and
. Many authors have studied this concept of SEP to modified their problem, see example [
12,
13,
14,
15].
In 2010, Censor, Gibali and Reich [
13] introduced the split variational inequality problem which relies on the split feasibility problem and thus created the iterative algorithm for solving a strong convergence theorem of the split variational inclusion problem; more detail [
13].
The split monotone variational inclusion problem, which consists of special cases, which is being used in practice as a model in the intensity-modulated radiation therapy treatment planning, the modeling of many inverse problems, and other problems; see for instance [
11,
12,
13,
14,
15].
For every
. Let
,
be mappings and
and
be multi-value mappings. Inspired and motivated by Moudafi [
12] and Khuangsatung and Kangtunyakarn [
2], we define
the split combination of the variational inclusion problem (SCVIP) which is find
such that
and
where
is a bounded linear operator and
.
The set of all the solutions for Equations (
6) and (
7) are denoted by
.
If we set
and
for all
then SCVIP reduces to
the split monotone variational inclusion problem (SMVI), which is,
and such that
introduced by Moudafi [
12]. The set of all these solutions for Equations (
8) and (
9) are denoted by
.
Very recently, Kazmi et al. [
11] proved the strong convergence theorem under suitable condition of parameters for solving the hierarchical fixed point problem and SMVI by using hybrid iterative method as follows:
where
,
are multi-valued maximal monotone operators,
is
-inverse strongly monotone mapping,
is
-inverse strongly monotone mapping,
is a finite family of nonexpansive mappings and
is a
W-mapping generated by
and
for all
.
Based on the results mentioned above, we give our theorem for SCVIP and some important results as follows:
- (i)
We first establish Lemma 8 which shows the equivalence between SCVIP and fixed point problem of nonexpansive mapping under suitable conditions on our parameters. Further, we give some example to support Lemma 8 and the example shows that Lemma 8 is not true if some condition fails.
- (ii)
We establish a strong convergence theorem of the sequences generated by the modified Halpern iterative method for finding a common solution of hierarchical fixed point problem for a nonexpansive mapping and SCVIP.
- (iii)
We apply our main result to obtain a strong convergence theorem of the sequences generated by the modified Halpern iterative method for finding a common solution of hierarchical fixed point problem for a nonexpansive mapping and split combination of variational inequality problem and a strong convergence theorem for finding a common solution of hierarchical fixed point problem for nonexpansive mapping and split zero point problem.
- (iv)
We give some illustrative numerical examples to support our main result and our examples show that our main result is not true if some conditions fail.

5. Numerical
The purpose of this section is to give a numerical example to support some of our. The following example given for supporting Theorem 1 and example show that Theorem 1 is not true if condition (iv) fails, but conditions (i), (ii), (iii), (v) and (vi) are satisfied.
Since Theorem 1 can solve hierarchical fixed point problem for a nonexpansive mapping and SCVIP which our problems can modify for concrete problem in signal processing, image reconstruction, intensity-modulated radiationtherapy treatment planning and sensor networks in computerized tomography. So, we give a numerical example as follows:
Example 5. Let , the set of all real numbers, with the inner product defined by , for all and induced usual norm . For every , let the mapping define by for all and define by for all , respectively, let be defined by , for all and , for all . Let the mapping be defined by , for all and let , so we choose . Let the mapping be defined by , for all and let the mapping be defined by , for all . Setting = , = , = , = and = , . For every , suppose that and . Then converges strongly to a point .

For every , let the mapping define by for all and define by for all , respectively, let be defined by , for all and , for all . Let the mapping be defined by , for all and let , so we choose . Let the mapping be defined by , for all and let the mapping be defined by , for all . Setting = , = , = , = and = , . For every , suppose that and . Then converges strongly to a point .
