Abstract

LetT be a nonexpansive self-mapping of a closed convex subsetC of a real Hilbert space. In this paper we deal with the structure of the weak ω-limit set of iterates {T nx}, establish conditions under which it is invariant underT, and show that {T nx} converges weakly iffT has a fixed-point andT nx-Tn+1x→0 weakly.
