Abstract: In this paper, we establish the strong convergent theorems of an iterative algorithm for asymptotically nonexpansive mappings in Banach spaces and nonexpansive mappings in uniformly smooth Banach spaces, respectively. The results presented in this paper not only give an affirmative partial answer to Reich’s open question, but also generalize and improve the corresponding results of Chang, Lee and Chan [7] and Kim and Xu [10].

Key words: asymptotically nonexpansive mapping, iterative scheme, strong convergence; fixed point
