Implicit iterative method for approximating a common solution of split equilibrium problem and fixed point problem for a nonexpansive semigroup

In this paper, we introduce and study an implicit iterative method to approximate a common solution of split equilibrium problem and fixed point problem for a nonexpansive semigroup in real Hilbert spaces. Further, we prove that the nets generated by the implicit iterative method converge strongly to the common solution of split equilibrium problem and fixed point problem for a nonexpansive semigroup. This common solution is the unique solution of a variational inequality problem and is the optimality condition for a minimization problem. Furthermore, we justify our main result through a numerical example. The results presented in this paper extend and generalize the corresponding results given by Plubtieng and Punpaeng [S. Plubtieng, R. Punpaeng, Fixed point solutions of variational inequalities for nonexpansive semigroups in Hilbert spaces, Math. Comput. Model. 48 (2008) 279–286] and Cianciaruso et al. [F.
