Generalized equilibrium problems and fixed point problems for nonexpansive semigroups in Hilbert spaces

In this paper, we introduce two iterative schemes (one implicit and one explicit) for finding a common element of the set of solutions of the generalized equilibrium problems and the set of all common fixed points of a nonexpansive semigroup in the framework of a real Hilbert space. We prove that both approaches converge strongly to a common element of such two sets. Such common element is the unique solution of a variational inequality, which is the optimality condition for a minimization problem. Furthermore, we utilize the main results to obtain two mean ergodic theorems for nonexpansive mappings in a Hilbert space. The results of this paper extend and improve the results of Li et al. (2009), Cianciaruso et al. (2010) and many others.
