Moreover, we also find the significant inequality related to such mappings and firmly nonexpansive mappings within the framework of Hilbert spaces. By using the ideas of metric -projection, we propose an iterative shrinking metric -projection method for finding a common fixed point of a quasi-strict -pseudocontraction and a countable family of firmly nonexpansive mappings. In addition, we provide some applications of the main theorem to find a common solution of fixed point problems and generalized mixed equilibrium problems as well as other related results. 1. Introduction It is well known that the metric projection operators in Hilbert spaces and Banach spaces play an important role in various fields of mathematics such as functional analysis, optimization theory, fixed point theory, nonlinear programming, game theory, variational inequality, and complementarity problem (see, e.g., [1, 2]). In 1994, Alber [3] introduced and studied the generalized projections from Hilbert spaces to uniformly convex and uniformly smooth Banach spaces. Moreover, Alber [1] presented some applications of the generalized projections to approximately solve variational inequalities and von Neumann intersection problem in Banach spaces. In 2005, Li [2] extended the generalized projection operator from uniformly convex and uniformly smooth Banach spaces to reflexive Banach spaces and studied some properties of the generalized projection operator with applications to solve the variational inequality in Banach spaces. Later, Wu and Huang [4] introduced a new generalized -projection operator in Banach spaces. They extended the definition of the generalized projection operators introduced by [3] and proved some properties of the generalized -projection operator. Fan et al. [5] presented some basic results for the generalized -projection operator and discussed the existence of solutions and approximation of the solutions for generalized variational inequalities in noncompact subsets of Banach spaces. Let be a real Hilbert space; a mapping with domain and range in is called firmly nonexpansive if nonexpansive if Throughout this paper, stands for an identity mapping. The mapping is said to be a strict pseudocontraction if there exists a constant such that In this case, may be called a -strict pseudocontraction. We use to denote the set of fixed points of (i.e. . is said to be a quasi-strict pseudocontraction if the set of fixed point is nonempty and if there exists a constant such that Construction of fixed %U http://www.hindawi.com/journals/aaa/2013/589282/
