Strong convergence of a general iterative method for variational inequality problems and fixed point problems in Hilbert spaces

In this paper, we introduce a new iterative scheme to investigate the problem of finding a common element of the set of common fixed points of a finite family of nonexpansive mappings and the set of solutions of a variational inequality problem for a relaxed cocoercive mapping by viscosity approximate methods. Our results improve and extend the recent ones announced by Chen et al. [J.M. Chen, L.J. Zhang, T.G. Fan, Viscosity approximation methods for nonexpansive mappings and monotone mappings, doi:10.1016/j.jmaa.2006.12.088], Iiduka and Tahakshi [H. Iiduka, W. Takahashi, Strong convergence theorems for nonexpansive mappings and inverse-strongly monotone mappings, Nonlinear Anal. 61 (2005) 341–350], Yao and Yao [Y.H. Yao, J.C.
