New averaged type algorithms for solving split common fixed point problems for demicontractive mappings

Abstract In this paper we propose new averaged iterative algorithms designed for solving a split common fixed point problem in the class of demicontractive mappings. The algorithms are obtained by inserting an averaged term into the algorithms used in [Li, R. and He, Z., A new iterative algorithm for split solution problems of quasi-nonexpansive mappings J. Inequal. Appl. 131 (2015), 1–12.] for solving the same problem but in the class of quasi-nonexpansive mappings, which is a subclass of demicontractive mappings. Basically, our investigation is based on the embedding of demicontractive operators in the class of quasi-nonexpansive operators by means of averaged mappings. For the considered algorithms we prove weak and strong convergence theorems in the setting of a real Hilbert space. A numerical example is given to illustrate the results.
