Abstract

Let <a onClick="popup('http://www.fixedpointtheoryandapplications.com/content/2012/1/118/mathml/M1','MathML',630,470);return false;" target="_blank" href="http://www.fixedpointtheoryandapplications.com/content/2012/1/118/mathml/M1">View MathML</a> be a uniformly convex modular function space with a strong Opial property. Let <a onClick="popup('http://www.fixedpointtheoryandapplications.com/content/2012/1/118/mathml/M2','MathML',630,470);return false;" target="_blank" href="http://www.fixedpointtheoryandapplications.com/content/2012/1/118/mathml/M2">View MathML</a> be an asymptotic pointwise nonexpansive mapping, where C is a ρ-a.e. compact convex subset of <a onClick="popup('http://www.fixedpointtheoryandapplications.com/content/2012/1/118/mathml/M1','MathML',630,470);return false;" target="_blank" href="http://www.fixedpointtheoryandapplications.com/content/2012/1/118/mathml/M1">View MathML</a>. In this paper, we prove that the generalized Mann and Ishikawa processes converge almost everywhere to a fixed point of T. In addition, we prove that if C is compact in the strong sense, then both processes converge strongly to a fixed point.
