A Hybrid Algorithm for Approximating a Common Element of Solutions of a Variational Inequality Problem and a Convex Feasibility Problem.
ABSTRACT
In this thesis, a hybrid extragradient-like iteration algorithm for approximating a common element of the set of solutions of a variational inequality problem for a monotone.
k–Lipschitz map and common fixed points of a countable family of relatively nonexpansive maps in a uniformly smooth and 2-uniformly convex real Banach space is introduced.
A strong convergence theorem for the sequence generated by this algorithm is proved.
The theorem obtained is a significant improvement of the results of Ceng et al. (J. Glob. Optim. 46(2010), 635-646).
Finally, some applications of the theorem are presented.

INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background of study
“There is no branch of mathematics, however abstract which may not someday be applied to phe- nomena of the real world” Lobachevsky.
Attesting to the authenticity of Lobachevsky’s claim, the vast applicability of mathematical models whose constraints can be expressed as fixed point and (or) variational inequality problems in solving real life problems, such as in signal processing, networking, resource allocation, image recovery and so on.
Makes the field of variational inequality and fixed point theory a worthwhile area of re- search [See for example Maainge [2008] and Maainge [2010b] and the references contained in them].
In this thesis, we concentrate on approximating a common element of solutions of a variational inequality problem and common fixed point of a countable family of relatively nonexpansive maps in real Banach spaces.
Hence, the results of this thesis will form major contributions to non- linear operator theory, which falls within the general area of nonlinear functional analysis and applications.
Variational Inequality
It was the year 1958, in a classroom, at the Instituto Nazionale di Alta Mathematica Italy, that Antonio Signorini posed the problem “what will be the equilibrium configuration of a spherically shaped elastic body resting on a rigid frictionless plane?” A natural question is: what is special about this problem? Its ambiguous boundary condition. In fact, Signorini himself called it “prob- lem with ambiguous boundary condition”.
