Let C be a convex subset of a normed linear space X and/a selfmapping of C which is nonexpansive; that is,||/(x)—f {y)||<\\x—y\\,(x, yeC). In [8] Krasnoselski proved that if X is uniformly convex and C is compact then, for any xeC, the sequence {^"(x)} of iterates of x under F±=\(I+ f) converges to a fixed point of/. Schaefer [13] observed that the same holds for any Fx= XI+(1—A)/with 0< A< 1, and one of the authors proved that strict convexity of X suffices [4]. The natural, and not unimportant, question of whether strict convexity can also be removed remained open for many years and this question motivated the work presented here. We obtain an affirmative answer as a corollary to a more incisive finding; namely that, on any normed linear space X and on any bounded convex set C c= X, FA is (uniformly) asymptotically regular (see Section 2). The concept of asymptotic regularity is due to Browder and Petryshyn [2] and, as a metric notion, it can be stated as follows: a mapping/: M-> M of a metric space (M, d) into itself is said to be asymptotically regular at xeM if d (f"+ 1 (x),/"(*))-> 0 as n-*• oo; it is said to be asymptotically regular on M if it is so at each xeM. Results on the asymptotic regularity of Fx were first obtained by Browder and Petryshyn in [2]. They showed that if X is uniformly convex and/: C-> C is a nonexpansive selfmapping on a closed, bounded, convex subset C, then Fx is asymptotically regular. Our results are stronger in that, on the one hand, they are not restricted to uniformly convex spaces and, on the other, they involve a uniform version of asymptotic regularity. As is easily seen Fx (y)= y is equivalent to f (y)= y, so that problems pertaining to the existence and location of fixed points for/reduce to similar problems for Fx where Fx can be assumed to be asymptotically regular by our results.(See the remark following Theorem 1.)
