On unification of the strong convergence theorems for a finite family of total asymptotically nonexpansive mappings in banach spaces

We unify all known iterative methods by introducing a new explicit iterative scheme for approximation of common fixed points of finite families of total asymptotically i-nonexpansive mappings. note that such a scheme contains a particular case of the method introduced by (c. e. chidume and e. u. ofoedu,2009). we construct examples of total asymptotically nonexpansive mappings which are not asymptotically nonexpansive. note that no such kind of examples were known in the literature. we prove the strong convergence theorems for such iterative process to a common fixed point of the finite family of total asymptotically i-nonexpansive and total asymptotically nonexpansive mappings,defined on a nonempty closed-convex subset of uniformly convex banach spaces. moreover,our results extend and unify all known results. © copyright 2012 farrukh mukhamedov and mansoor saburov.
