X. J. Tian, L. Wang, Z. L. Ma, J. Nonlinear Sci. Appl. 9 (06), 5536 5543 5537 where A : H H is a bounded linear operator. The split feasibility problem (SFP) in finitely dimensional spaces was firstly introduced by Censor and Elfving [4] for modeling inverse problems which arise from phase retrievals and in medical image reconstruction []. The SFP has attracted much attentions because of its applications in modeling inverse problems, radiation therapy treatment planning and signal processing [3 6]. Some methods have been proposed to solve split feasibility problems in [3, 8, 9]. Assume that SFP (.) is consistent, it is not hard to see that the solution set of SFP (.) (i.e., {x C : Ax Q}) is closed and convex. The SFP can be solved by the CQ algorithm, which was firstly proposed by Byrne []: x k+ = P C (I γa (I P Q )A)x k, k, where γ (0, ) with λ being the spectral radius of the operator A A, P A C and P Q are the metric projections from H onto C and from H onto Q, respectively. If C and Q are sets of fixed points of two nonlinear mappings, respectively, and C and Q are nonempty closed convex subsets, then q is said to be a split common fixed point for the two nonlinear mappings. That is, the split common fixed point problem (SCFP) for mappings S and T is to find a point q H with the property: q C := F (S) and Aq Q := F (T ), (.) where F (S) and F (T ) denote the sets of fixed points of S and T, respectively. Since each nonempty closed convex subset of a Hilbert space is the set of fixed points of its projection, so the split common fixed point problem can be considered as a generalization of the split feasibility problem and the convex feasibility problem. The split common fixed point problem was introduced by Moudafi [0] in 00. In [0], Moudafi proposed an iteration scheme and obtained a weak convergence theorem of the split common fixed point problem for demicontractive mappings in the setting of two Hilbert spaces. Since then, the split common fixed point problems of other nonlinear mappings in the setting of two Hilbert spaces have been studied by some authors, see, for instance, [7, 8, 0,, 3, 4, 0]. Recently, Moudafi [] proposed the split equality problem (SEP): find x C and y Q such that Ax = By, (.3) where A : H H 3 and B : H H 3 are two bounded linear operators, C and Q are two nonempty closed convex subsets of H and H, respectively. We use Γ to denote the set of solution of SEP (.3), that is, Γ = {(p, q) : p C, q Q, Ap = Bq}. It is obvious that if B = I and H 3 = H, then SEP (.3) can be reduced to SFP (.). The split equality problem (.) allows asymmetric and partial relations between the variables x and y. The interest is to cover many situations such as decomposition methods for PDEs, applications in game theory, intensitymodulated radiation therapy. In decision sciences, this allows one to consider agents who interplay only via some components of their decision variables []. In order to solve SEP (.3), Moudafi [] proposed the following alternating CQ-algorithm (ACQA) and relaxed alternating CQ-algorithm (RACQA), i.e., { xk+ = P ACQA : C (x k γ k A (Ax k By k )), y k+ = P Q (y k + γ k B (Ax k By k )), and RACQA : { xk+ = P Ck (x k γa (Ax k By k )), y k+ = P Qk (y k + βb (Ax k By k )), under appropriate conditions, the author proved that the iterative schemes above converge weakly to a solution of the SEP (.3). Definition.. Let E be a real Banach space and S : E CB(E) be a multi-valued mapping. S is said to be () nonexpansive, if H(Sx, Sy) x y, for all x, y E; () quasi-nonexpansive, if F (S) and H(Sx, Sz) x z, for all x E and z F (S),

X. J. Tian, L. Wang, Z. L. Ma, J. Nonlinear Sci. Appl. 9 (06), 5536 5543 5538 where F (S) denotes the fixed points set of S, the Hausdorff metric on CB(E) (which stands for the collection of all nonempty closed bounded subsets of E) is indicated by where d(x, D) = inf y D d x y. H(C, D) = max{sup x C d(x, D), sup d(y, C)}, C, D CB(E), y D Recently, Wu et al. [6] proposed an iterative algorithm to study the convergence results of split equality common fixed point problem for quasi-nonexpansive multi-valued mappings in Hilbert spaces, and obtained the following result. Theorem. (Theorem.3 of [6]). Let H, H, H 3 be Hilbert spaces, A : H H 3, B : H H 3 be two bounded linear operators, R : H CB(H ) and R : H CB(H ) be two quasi-nonexpansive multi-valued mappings, C = F (R ), Q = F (R ). Suppose that 0 < lim inf n α n lim sup n α n < and R, R are demi-closed at the origin, the sequence {w n } is generated by w n+ = α n (I γg G)w n + ( α n )v n, v n R(w n γg Gw n ), (.4) where {α n } (0, ) and γ (0, ρ(g G) ) with ρ(g G) being the spectral radius of the self-adjoint operator G G on H. Define G : H H 3 by G = [A, B], R : H H H H by ( ) R 0. 0 R Then the sequence {w n } defined by (.4) converges weakly to a solution of SEP (.3). In addition, if R, R are semi-compact, then the sequence {w n } converges strongly to a solution of SEP (.3). Very recently, in [5], Tang et al. proposed an iteration method to approximate a solution of the SCFP (.) for strict pseudocontractive mapping and asymptotically nonexpansive mappings in the setting of two Banach spaces, and obtained the strong and weak convergence theorems of iteration scheme proposed. Naturally, the facts above remain us the following question: Can the convergence theorems for a solution of the split equality common fixed point problem for quasinonexpansive multi-valued mapping be obtained in Banach spaces? In this paper, we propose the following iterative algorithm to approximate a split equality common fixed point of quasi-nonexpansive multi-valued mappings in Banach spaces. For any x 0 E and y 0 E, the sequence {(x n, y n )} is generated by u n S (x n γj A J 3 (Ax n By n )), v n S (y n + γj B J 3 (Ax n By n )), y n+ = ( β n )v n + β n (x n + γj B J 3 (Ax n By n )), x n+ = ( β n )u n + β n (x n γj A J 3 (Ax n By n )), where E, E, E 3 are three Banach spaces, A : E E 3, B : E E 3 are two bounded linear operators, S : E CB(E ), S : E CB(E ) are two quasi-nonexpansive multi-valued mappings and C = F (S ), Q = F (S ). In the rest of this paper, we still denote the set of solutions of SEP (.3) by Γ = {(x, y) E E, Ax = By, x C, y D}. Under some mild conditions, we obtain the strong and weak convergence of the iterative scheme above in Banach spaces.. Preliminaries Throughout this paper, the set of fixed points of S is denoted by F (S) and the strong convergence and weak convergence of a sequence {x n } to a point x E is denoted by x n x and x n x, respectively. Let E be a real Banach space with the dual E. The normalized duality mapping J : E E is defined by Jx = {f E : x, f = x = f }, x E,

A Banach space E is said to be strictly convex, if x+y < for all x, y U = {z E : z = } with x y. A Banach space E is said to be uniformly convex, if for each ε (0, ], there exists δ > 0 such that x+y δ for all x, y U with x y > ε. x+ty x A Banach space E is said to be smooth, if the limit lim t 0 t exists for all x, y U. A Banach space E is said to be uniformly smooth, if ρ E(t) t 0 as t 0, where the modulus of smoothness ρ E : [0, ) [0, ) is defined by { } ( x + y + x y ) ρ E (t) = sup : x U, y t. A Banach space E is said to be p-uniformly smooth (let p > be a fixed number), if there exists a constant c > 0 such that ρ E (t) ct p for all t > 0. Remark. ([9]). The basic properties of Banach space E are as follows: () A uniformly convex Banach space is strictly convex and reflective. () If E is a smooth, reflexive and strictly convex Banach space, then the normalized duality mapping J from E to E is single-valued, one-to-one, and surjective. (3) If E is an uniformly smooth Banach space, then the normalized duality mapping J is uniformly continuous on every bounded subset of E. (4) A Banach space E is uniformly smooth, if and only if its dual E is uniformly convex. (5) Each uniformly convex Banach space E has the Kadec-Klee property, i.e., x n u E and x n u imply x n u. (6) It is common knowledge that every p-uniformly smooth Banach space is uniformly smooth. Lemma. ([7]). Let E be a uniformly convex Banach space. For any given number r > 0, there exists a continuous strictly increasing function g : [0, ) [0, ), g(0) = 0 such that tx + ( t)y t x + ( t) y t( t)g( x y ) for all x, y E with x r, y r and t [0, ]. Lemma.3 ([7]). Let E be a -uniformly smooth Banach space with the best smoothness constant k > 0. Then the following inequality holds: x + y x + y, Jx + ky, x, y E. Definition.4 ([6]). A multi-valued mapping S : E CB(E) is said to be demi-closed at zero, if for any {x n } E such that x n x and d(x n, Sx n ) 0, then x Sx. Definition.5 ([6]). Let E be a Banach space. A multi-valued mapping S : E CB(E) is said to be semi-compact, if for any bounded sequence {x n } E such that d(x n, Sx n ) 0, there exists a subsequence {x nj } of {x n } such that x nj x E. 3. Main results Theorem 3.. Let E, E be real uniformly convex and -uniformly smooth Banach spaces with the best smoothness constant k (0, ), E 3 be a real Banach space, S : E CB(E ) and S : E CB(E ) be two quasi-nonexpansive multi-valued mappings, respectively. Let A : E E 3 and B : E E 3 be two bounded linear operators. For any (x 0, y 0 ) E E, the sequence {(x n, y n )} is generated by

Appl. 9 (06), 5536 5543 5540 u n S (x n γj A J 3 (Ax n By n )), v n S (y n + γj B J 3 (Ax n By n )), y n+ = ( β n )v n + β n (x n + γj B J 3 (Ax n By n )), x n+ = ( β n )u n + β n (x n γj A J 3 (Ax n By n )), where S, S are demi-closed at zero, {β n } (0, ) satisfying lim inf n β n ( β n ) > 0, 0 < γ < max{λ A,λ B } and λ A, λ B stand for the spectral radius of A A and B B, respectively. If Γ = {(x, y ) E E : Ax = By, x C, y D}, where C := F ix(s ) and Q := F ix(s ), then (I) the sequence {(x n, y n )} converges weakly to a solution (x, y ) Γ of SEP (.3); (II) In addition, if S, S are semi-compact, then the sequence {(x n, y n )} converges strongly to a solution (x, y ) Γ of SEP (.3). Proof. For the sake of convenience, set t n = x n γj A J 3 (Ax n By n ), w n = y n + γj B J 3 (Ax n By n ) and L = max{λ A, λ B }. Let (x, y) Γ, it follows from Lemma. that x n+ x = β n t n + ( β n )u n z = β n (t n x) + ( β n )(u n x) β n t n x + ( β n ) u n x β n ( β n )g( t n u n ) β n t n x + ( β n )H(S t n, S x) β n ( β n )g( t n u n ) β n t n x + ( β n ) t n x β n ( β n )g( t n u n ) = t n x β n ( β n )g( t n u n ). (3.) Further, from Lemma.3, we have t n x = x n γj A J 3 (Ax n By n ) x = γj A J 3 (Ax n By n ) + (x x n ) γj A J 3 (Ax n By n ) + γ x x n, J J A J 3 (Ax n By n ) + k x x n γ L Ax n By n + γ Ax Ax n, J 3 (Ax n By n ) + k x x n. (3.) So, it follows from (3.) and (3.) that x n+ x γ L Ax n By n + γ Ax Ax n, J 3 (Ax n By n ) + k x x n β n ( β n )g( t n u n ). (3.3) Similarly, we can get y n+ y γ L Ax n By n + γ By n By, J 3 (Ax n By n ) + k y y n β n ( β n )g( w n v n ). (3.4) By adding (3.3) and (3.4), since Ax = By, we have x n+ x + y n+ y γ L Ax n By n + γ (Ax n By n ), J 3 (Ax n By n ) (3.5) + k ( x x n + y y n ) β n ( β n )[g( t n u n ) + g( w n v n )]. Now, set W n (x, y) = x n x + y n y, it follows (3.5) that W n+ (x, y) k W n (x, y) γ( γl) Ax n By n β n ( β n )[g( t n u n ) + g( w n v n )]. (3.6)

X. J. Tian, L. Wang, Z. L. Ma, J. Nonlinear Sci. Appl. 9 (06), 5536 5543 554 Since 0 < γ < max{λ A,λ B }, L = max{λ A, λ B } and k (0, ), we can obtain W n+ (x, y) k W n (x, y) W n (x, y). This implies that {W n (x, y)} is a non-increasing sequence, hence lim n W n exists. From (3.6), we have Therefore, we can obtain γ( γl) Ax n By n + β n ( β n )[g( t n u n ) + g( w n v n )] k W n (x, y) W n+ (x, y) W n (x, y) W n+ (x, y). and By Lemma., we have lim g( t n u n ) = 0, n lim g( w n v n ) = 0, n lim Ax n By n = 0. (3.7) n and Since from (3.7), we may get lim t n u n = 0 and lim w n v n = 0. (3.8) n n x n t n = J (x n t n ) = γa J 3 (Ax n By n ) γ A Ax n By n, y n w n = J (y n w n ) = γb J 3 (Ax n By n ) γ B Ax n By n, lim x n t n = 0 and lim y n w n = 0. (3.9) n n Now, we prove the conclusion (I). Since E and E are uniformly convex, they are reflexive. On the other hand, since x n x W n (x, y), y n y W n (x, y) and lim n W n exists, we know that {(x n, y n )} is bounded. So we may assume that (x, y ) is weak cluster points of {(x n, y n )}. By (3.9), we know that (x, y ) also is weak cluster points of {(t n, w n )}. In addition, since u n S t n and v n S w n, we have d(t n, S t n ) t n u n and d(w n, S w n ) v n w n. So it follows from (3.8) that lim n d(t n, S t n ) = 0 and lim n d(w n, S w n ) = 0. Due to the demi-closed property of S and S, we have (x, y ) C Q, where C := F ix(s ), Q := F ix(s ). Since A and B are bounded linear operators, we know that Ax By is a weak cluster point of {Ax n By n }. From the weakly lower semi-continuous property of the norm and (3.7), we get Ax By lim inf n Ax n By n = 0. So, Ax = By. This implies (x, y ) {(x, y) E E, Ax = By}. Hence (x, y ) {(x, y) E E : Ax = By, x C, y Q}. We now prove that (x, y ) is the unique weak cluster point of {(x n, y n )}. Let (p, q) be another weak cluster point of {(x n, y n )}. Similarly, by the arguments above, we have (p, q) Γ, too. Notice that W n (x, y ) = x n x + y n y = x n p + x n p, J (p x ) + p x + y n q + y n q, J (q x ) + q y

X. J. Tian, L. Wang, Z. L. Ma, J. Nonlinear Sci. Appl. 9 (06), 5536 5543 554 = W n (p, q) + x n p, J (p x ) + p x + y n q, J (q x ) + q y. Without loss of generality, we may assume that {(x n, y n )} converges weakly to (p, q). In addition, we also assume that lim n W n (x, y ) = W (x, y ) and lim n W n (p, q) = W (p, q). Thus, from the equality above, we have W (x, y ) = W (p, q) + p x + q y. (3.0) Similarly, we have It follows from (3.0) and (3.) that W (p, q) = W (x, y ) + p x + q y. (3.) p x + q y = 0, which means that (p, q) = (x, y ). The proof of conclusion (I) is completed. Next, we prove (II). Due to S, S are semi-compact, {(x n, y n )} is bounded and lim n d(t n, S t n ) = 0 and lim n d(w n, S w n ) = 0, there exists subsequence {(t nj, w nj )} of {(t n, w n )} such that {(t nj, w nj )} converges strongly to (u, v ). So, from the facts that lim n x n t n = 0 and lim n y n w n = 0, and {(x n, y n )} converges weakly to (x, y ), we know that (u, v ) = (x, y ). In addition, due to the definition of {(t n, w n )} and and x nj x = x nj t nj + t nj x γj A J 3 (Ax nj By nj ) + t nj x γ A Ax nj By nj + t nj x, y nj y = y nj w nj + w nj y γj B J 3 (Ax nj By nj ) + w nj x γ B Ax nj By nj + w nj x, we obtain that lim n x nj x = 0 and lim n y nj y = 0. On the other hand, since W n (x, y) = x n x + y n y for any (x, y) Ω, we know that lim j W nj (x, y ) = 0. From Conclusion (I), we know that lim n W n (x, y ) exists, therefore lim n W n (x, y ) = 0. From the facts that 0 x n x W n and 0 y n y W n, we can obtain that lim n x n x = 0 and lim n y n y = 0. This completes the proof of the conclusion (II). For quasi-nonexpansive single-valued mappings, similar to the proofs in Theorem 3., we can obtain the following result. Theorem 3.. Let E, E be real uniformly convex and -uniformly smooth Banach spaces with the best smoothness constant k (0, ), E 3 be a real Banach space, and S : E E and S : E E be two quasi-nonexpansive single-valued mappings, respectively. Let A : E E 3 and B : E E 3 be two bounded linear operators. For any x 0 E and y 0 E, the sequence {(x n, y n )} is generated by u n = S (x n γj A J 3 (Ax n By n )), v n = S (y n + γj B J 3 (Ax n By n )), y n+ = ( β n )v n + β n (x n + γj B J 3 (Ax n By n )), x n+ = ( β n )u n + β n (x n γj A J 3 (Ax n By n )), where S, S are demi-closed at zero, {β n } (0, ) satisfying lim inf n β n ( β n ) > 0, 0 < γ < max{λ A,λ B } and λ A, λ B stand for the spectral radius of A A and B B, respectively. If Γ = {(x, y ) E E : Ax = By, x C, y D}, where C := F ix(s ), Q := F ix(s ), then
