Strong convergence theorems on an iterative method for a family of finite nonexpansive mappings in reflexive Banach spaces

In this paper, by using some new analysis techniques, we study the approximation problems of common fixed points of Halpern's iterative sequence for a class of finite nonexpansive mappings in strictly convex and reflexive Banach spaces by using Banach's limit. The main results presented in this paper generalize, extend and improve the corresponding results of Bauschke [The approximation of fixed points of compositions of nonexpansive mappings in Hilbert spaces, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 202 (1996) 150-159], Halpern [Fixed points of nonexpansive maps, Bull. Am. Math. Soc. 73 (1967) 957-961], Shoji and Takahashi [Strong convergence of approximated sequences for nonexpansive mappings in Banach spaces, Proc. Am. Math. Soc. 125 (1997) 3641-3645], Takahashi et al.
