Strong convergence theorems for relatively nonexpansive mappings and Lipschitz-continuous monotone mappings in Banach spaces

In this paper, we introduce an iterative process for finding a common element of the set of fixed points of a relatively nonexpansive mapping and the set of solutions of the variational inequality for a Lipschitz-continuous, monotone mapping in a Banach space. We obtain a strong convergence theorem for three sequences generated by this process. Our results improve and extend the corresponding results announced by many others. A simple numerical example is given to support our theoretical results.
