1. Introduction

Probabilistic functional analysis has come out as one of the momentous mathematicaldisciplines in view of its requirements in dealing with probabilistic models in appliedproblems. The study of random fixed points forms a central topic in this area. Randomfixed point theorems for random contraction mappings on separable complete metricspaces were first proven by Spacek [1]. Subsequently, Bharucha-Reid [2] has given suffi-cient conditions for a stochastic analog of Schauder’s fixed point theorem for a randomoperator. The study of random fixed point theorems was initiated by Spacek [1] and Hans[3, 4]. In an attempt to construct iterations for finding fixed points of random operatorsdefined on linear spaces, random Ishikawa scheme was introduced in [5]. This iterationand also some other random iterations based on the same ideas have been applied forfinding solutions of random operator equations and fixed points of random operators(see [5]).

Recently, Beg [6], Choudhury [7], Duan and Li [8], Li and Duan [9], Itoh [10], andmany others have studied the fixed point of random operators. Beg and Abbas [11] stud-ied the different random iterative algorithms for weakly contractive and asymptoticallynonexpansive random operators on arbitrary Banach spaces. They also established the

convergence of an implicit random iterative process to a common random fixed point fora finite family of asymptotically quasi-nonexpansive operators.

More recently, Plubtieng et al. [12] studied weak and strong convergence theorems es-tablished for a modified Noor iterative scheme with errors for three asymptotically non-expansive mappings in Banach spaces.

In this paper, we study the convergence of three-step random iterative processes witherrors for three asymptotically nonexpansive random operators in Banach spaces. Ourresults extend and improve the corresponding ones announced by Beg and Abbas [11],and many others.

2. Preliminaries

Let (Ω,Σ) be a measurable space with Σ a sigma-algebra of subsets of Ω and let C be anonempty subset of a Banach space X . A mapping ξ : Ω→ X is measurable if ξ−1(U)∈ Σfor each open subset U of X . The mapping T : Ω×C → C is a random map if for eachfixed x ∈ C, the mapping T(·,x) : Ω→ C is measurable, and it is continuous if for eachω ∈Ω, the mapping T(ω,·) : C→ X is continuous. A measurable mapping ξ : Ω→ X isthe random fixed point of the random map T : Ω×C→ X if T(ω,ξ(ω))= ξ(ω), for eachω ∈Ω. We denote by RF(T) the set of all random fixed points of a random map T and byTn(ω,x) the nth iterate T(ω,T(ω,T(, . . . ,T(ω,x)))) of T . The letter I denotes the randommapping I : Ω×C→ C defined by I(ω,x)= x and T0 = I .

Definition 2.1. Let C be a nonempty subset of a separable Banach space X and let T :Ω×C→ C be a random map. The map T is said to be

(a) a nonexpansive random operator if arbitrary x, y ∈ C, one has

∥∥T(ω,x)−T(ω, y)

∥∥≤ ‖x− y‖, (2.1)

for each ω ∈Ω;(b) an asymptotically nonexpansive random operator if there exists a sequence of mea-

surable mappings rn : Ω→ [0,∞) with limn→∞ rn(ω) = 0, for each ω ∈ Ω, suchthat for arbitrary x, y ∈ C,

∥∥Tn(ω,x)−Tn(ω, y)

∥∥≤ (1 + rn(ω)

)‖x− y‖, for each ω ∈Ω; (2.2)

(c) a uniformly L-Lipschitzian random operator if arbitrary x, y ∈ C, one has

∥∥Tn(ω,x)−Tn(ω, y)

∥∥≤ L‖x− y‖, (2.3)

where n= 1,2, . . . , and L is a positive constant;

(d) a semicompact random operator if for a sequence of measurable mappings {ξn}from Ω to C, with limn→∞‖ξn(ω)−T(ω,ξn(ω))‖ = 0, for every ω ∈Ω, one has asubsequence {ξnk} of {ξn} and a measurable mapping ξ : Ω→ C such that {ξnk}converges pointwisely to ξ as k→∞.

Definition 2.2 (three-step random iterative process, cf. [11]). Let T : Ω×C→ C is a ran-dom operator, where C is a nonempty convex subset of a separable Banach space X . Letξ0 : Ω→ C be a measurable mapping from Ω to C. Define sequence of functions {ζn},{ηn}, and {ξn}, as given below:

ζn(ω)= α′′n Tn(

ω,ξn(ω))

+β′′n ξn(ω),

ηn(ω)= α′nTn(

ω,ζn(ω))

+β′nξn(ω),

ξn+1(ω)= αnTn(

ω,ηn(ω))

+βnξn(ω) for each ω∈Ω,

(2.4)

n= 0,1,2, . . . , where {αn}, {α′n}, {α′′n }, {βn}, {β′n}, and {β′′n } are sequences of real num-bers in [0,1]. Obviously {ζn}, {ηn}, and {ξn} are sequences of measurable functions fromΩ to C.

Definition 2.3. Let T1,T2,T3 : Ω × C → C be three random operators, where C is anonempty convex subset of a separable Banach space X . Let ξ0 : Ω→ C be a measurablemapping from Ω to C, let { fn}, { f ′n}, { f ′′n } be bounded sequences of measurable func-tions from Ω to C. Define sequences of functions {ζn}, {ηn}, and {ξn}, as given below:

ζn(ω)= α′′n Tn3

(

ω,ξn(ω))

+β′′n ξn(ω) + γ′′n f ′′n (ω),

ηn(ω)= α′nTn2

(

ω,ζn(ω))

+β′nξn(ω) + γ′n f′n (ω),

ξn+1(ω)= αnTn1

(

ω,ηn(ω))

+βnξn(ω) + γn fn(ω) for each ω∈Ω,

(2.5)

n = 0,1,2, . . . , where {αn}, {α′n}, {α′′n }, {βn}, {β′n}, {β′′n }, {γn}, {γ′n}, and {γ′′n } are se-quences of real numbers in [0,1] with αn +βn + γn = α′n +β′n + γ′nα′′n +β′′n + γ′′n = 1.

Remark 2.4. If we take T1 = T2 = T3 ≡ T , and γn = γ′n = γ′′n ≡ 0, then (2.5) reduces to(2.4).

The purpose of this paper is to establish several convergence results of the three-steprandom iterative process with errors given in (2.5) for three asymptotically nonexpansiverandom operators.

In the sequel, we will need the following lemma.

Lemma 2.5 [13, Lemma 1.3]. Let X be a uniformly convex Banach space with xn, yn ∈ X ,real numbers a≥ 0, α,β ∈ (0,1), and let {αn} be a real sequence of numbers which satisfies

(i) 0 < α≤ αn ≤ β < 1, for all n≥ n0 and for some n0 ∈N;(ii) limsupn→∞‖xn‖ ≤ a and limsupn→∞‖yn‖ ≤ a;

(iii) limn→∞‖αnxn + (1−αn)yn‖ = a.Then limn→∞‖xn− yn‖ = 0.

3. Main results

In this section, we investigate the convergence of three-step random iterative process witherrors for three asymptotically nonexpansive random operators to obtain the randomsolution of the common random fixed point. This iterative process includes three-steprandom iterative process for a random operator T as special case. Note that the proofgiven below is different form the method of the proof proved by Beg and Abbas [11]. Inorder to prove our main results, we need the following two lemmas.

Lemma 3.1. Let X be a uniformly convex separable Banach space, and let C be a nonemptyclosed and convex subset of X . Let T1, T2, T3 be asymptotically nonexpansive random op-erators from Ω×C to C with sequence of measurable mappings rin(ω) : Ω→ [0,∞) satis-fying

∑∞n=1 rin(ω) <∞, for each ω ∈Ω and for all i= 1,2,3, and F =⋂3

i=1 RF(Ti) = ∅. Let{ξn(ω)} be the sequence as defined by (2.5) with

∑∞n=1 γn<∞,

∑∞n=1 γ

′n <∞, and

∑∞n=1 γ

′′n <∞.

Then limn→∞‖ξn(ω)− ξ(ω)‖ exists for all ξ(ω)∈ F and for each ω ∈Ω.

Proof. Let ξ : Ω→ C be the random common fixed point of {T1,T2,T3}. Since { fn}, { f ′n},and { f ′′n } are bounded sequences of measurable functions from Ω to C, we can put

M(ω)= supn≥1

∥∥ fn(ω)− ξ(ω)

∥∥∨ sup

n≥1

∥∥ f ′n (ω)− ξ(ω)

∥∥∨ sup

n≥1

∥∥ f ′′n (ω)− ξ(ω)

∥∥. (3.1)

Then M(ω) is a finite number for each ω ∈Ω. For each n≥ 1, let rn(ω)=max{rin(ω) | i=1,2,3}. Thus, we have rn(ω)≥ 0, limn→0 rin(ω)= 0, and

∥∥ξn+1(ω)− ξ(ω)

Lemma 3.2. Let X be a uniformly convex separable Banach space, and let C be a nonemptyclosed and convex subset of X . Let T1, T2, T3 be asymptotically nonexpansive random op-erators from Ω to C with sequence of measurable mappings rin(ω) : Ω → [0,∞) satisfy-ing

Proof. Let ξ(ω)∈ F. It follows from Lemma 3.1 that limn→∞‖ξn+1(ω)− ξ(ω)‖ exists, forall ω ∈ Ω. Let limn→∞‖ξn(ω)− ξ(ω)‖ = a for some a ≥ 0. For each n ≥ 1, let rn(ω) =max{rin(ω) | i= 1,2,3}. Taking the upper limit in inequality (3.5), we obtain that

(3.16)

It follows by (3.14), (3.15), and Lemma 3.2 that limn→∞‖Tn1 (ω,ηn(ω))− ξn(ω)‖ = 0.Next,

we prove that limn→∞‖Tn2 (ω,ζn(ω))− ξn(ω)‖ = 0. For each n≥ 1,

(

∥∥.

(3.17)

Since limn→∞‖Tn1 (ω,ηn(ω))−ξn(ω)‖=0= limn→∞ rn(ω), it follows from (3.11) and (3.17)

that

a= limn→∞

n→∞

(3.18)

Hence, limn→∞‖ηn(ω)− ξ(ω)‖ = a. Observe that ζn(ω)− ξ(ω)‖ ≤ (1 + rn(ω))‖ξn(ω)−ξ(ω)‖+γ′′n ‖ f ′′n (ω)−ξ(ω). By boundedness of { f ′′n (ω)} and limn→∞ rn(ω)=0= limn→∞ γ′′n ,we have limsupn→∞‖ζn(ω) − ξ(ω)‖ ≤ limsupn→∞‖ξn(ω) − ξ(ω)‖ ≤ a and solimsupn→∞‖Tn

(3.19)

Taking limsupn→∞ in both sides, we have limsupn→∞‖Tn2 (ω,ζn(ω))− ξ(ω) + γ′n( f ′n (ω)−

ξn(ω))‖ ≤ a. By the triangle inequality, we see that limsupn→∞‖ξn(ω)− ξ(ω) + γ′n( f ′n (ω)−ξn(ω))‖ ≤ a. Since limn→∞‖ηn(ω)− ξ(ω)‖ = a, we obtain

By Lemma 2.5, we obtain limn→∞‖Tn2 (ω,ζn(ω))− ξn(ω)‖ = 0. Similarly, by using the same

argument as in the proof above, we have limn→∞‖Tn3 (ω,ξn(ω))− ξn(ω)‖=0, for allω ∈Ω.

This completes the proof. �

Theorem 3.3. Let C be a nonempty closed and convex subset of a uniformly convex sepa-rable Banach space X . Let T1,T2,T3 : Ω×C→ C be semicompact asymptotically nonexpan-sive random operators with sequence of measurable mappings rin(ω) : Ω→ [0,∞) satisfying∑∞

n=1 rin(ω) <∞, for each ω ∈Ω and for each i= 1,2,3 and F =⋂3i=1 RF(Ti) = ∅. Let ξ0 be

a measurable mapping from Ω to C. Define the sequence of functions {ξn}, {ηn}, and {ζn}by (2.5) with {αn}, {α′n}, {α′′n }, {βn}, {β′n}, {β′n}, {γn}, {γ′n}, and {γ′′n } satisfying

Then sequences {ξn}, {ηn}, and {ζn} converge to a common random fixed point of F.

Since T1 is a semicompact continuous random operator and limn→∞‖T1(ω,ξn(ω))−ξn(ω)‖ = 0 for each ω ∈ Ω, there exist a subsequence {ξnk} of {ξn} and a measurablemapping ξ0 : Ω→ C such that ξnk converges pointwisely to ξ0. The mapping ξ0 : Ω→ C,being a pointwise limit of measurable mappings {ξnk}, is measurable. Now,

limk→∞

∥∥ξnk (ω)−T1

(

ω,ξnk (ω))∥∥= ∥∥ξ0(ω)−T1

(

ω,ξ0(ω))∥∥= 0 (3.25)

for each ω ∈Ω. Hence, ξ0(ω) is a random fixed point of T1. Since limn→∞‖ξn(ω)− ξ0(ω)‖exists, limn→∞ ξn(ω) = ξ0(ω) for each ω ∈ Ω. Similarly, we can show that ξ0(ω) is alsoa random fixed point of T2 and T3. Observe that ‖ηn(ω)− ξn(ω)‖ ≤ α′n‖Tn

2 (ω,ζn(ω))−ξn(ω)‖ + γ′n‖ f ′n (ω) − ξn(ω)‖ → 0, and ‖ζn(ω) − ξn(ω)‖ ≤ α′′n ‖Tn

3 (ω,ξn(ω)) − ξn(ω)‖ +γ′′n ‖ f ′′n (ω)− ξn(ω)‖ → 0, as n→∞, for each ω ∈ Ω. Hence, limn→∞ηn(ω) = ξ0(ω) andlimn→∞ ζn(ω)= ξ0(ω) for each ω ∈Ω. Therefore {ξn},{ηn}, and {ζn} converge to a com-mon random fixed point in F. �

If T1 = T2 = T3 := T and γn = γ′n = γ′′n ≡ 0, then Theorem 3.3 reduces to the followingknown result.

Corollary 3.4 (see Beg and Abbas [11, Theorem 3.3]). Let C be a nonempty closedbounded and convex subset of a uniformly convex separable Banach spaceX . LetT : Ω×C→C be completely continuous asymptotically nonexpansive random operator with sequence ofmeasurable mappings rn(ω) : Ω→ [0,∞) satisfying

∑∞n=1 rn(ω) <∞, for each ω ∈Ω. Let ξ0

be a measurable mapping from Ω to C. Define the sequence of functions {ξn}, {ηn}, and{ζn} by (2.4) with {αn} and {βn} satisfying 0 < liminfn→∞αn ≤ limsupn→∞αn < 1, and0 < liminfn→∞βn ≤ limsupn→∞βn < 1. Then sequences {ξn}, {ηn}, and {ζn} converge to arandom fixed point of T .

Proof. By Xu [14] and Ramırez [15], F(T) = ∅. Hence it follows from Theorem 3.3 thatthe sequences {ξn}, {ηn}, and {ζn} converge to a random fixed point of T . �

Remark 3.5. Theorem 3.3 is a generalized stochastic version of the result due to Plubtienget al. [12].
