### CONVERGENCE THEOREMS FOR VARIATIONAL INEQUALITIES EQUILIBRIUM PROBLEMS AND NONEXPANSIVE MAPPINGS BY HYBRID METHOD

Shahram Saeidi

#### Abstract

In this paper, we introduce iterative schemes for finding a common element of the set of common fixed points for a left amenable semigroup of nonexpansive mappings, the set of solutions of the variational inequalities for a family of $\alpha$-inverse-strongly monotone mappings and the set of solutions of a system of equilibrium problems in a Hilbert space. We establish weak and strong convergence theorems for the sequences generated by our proposed schemes. Moreover, we present various applications to the additive semigroup of nonnegative real numbers and families of strictly pseudocontractive mappings.
