Under the assumption that E is a reflexive Banach space whose norm is uniformly Geteaux differentiable and which has a weakly continuous duality mapping J(phi) with gauge function phi, Ceng-Cubiotti-Yao [Strong convergence theorems for finitely many, nonexpansive mappings and applications, Nonlinear Analysis 67 (2007) 1464-1473] introduced a new iterative scheme for,I finite commuting family of nonexpansive mappings, and proved strong convergence theorems about this iteration. In this paper, only under the hypothesis that E is a reflexive Banach space which has a weakly continuous duality mapping J(phi) with gauge function phi, and several control conditions about the iterative coefficient arc removed, we present a short and simple proof of the above theorem.
