Approximating solutions of variational inequalities for asymptotically nonexpansive mappings

By using viscosity approximation methods for asymptotically nonexpansive mappings in Banach spaces, some sufficient and necessary conditions for a new type of iterative sequences to converging to a fixed point which is also the unique solution of some variational inequalities are obtained. The results presented in the paper extend and improve some recent results in [C. E. Chidume, Jinlu Li, A. Udomene, Convergence of paths and approximation of fixed points of asymptotically nonexpansive mappings, Proc. Amer. Math. Soc. 138 (2) (2005) 473-480; N. Shahzad, A.
