Let EE be a 2-uniformly convex and uniformly smooth Banach space, FF be a smooth, strictly convex and reflexive Banach space and η\eta be a real number with η∈(−∞,1)\eta\in (-\infty,1). Let T:E→ET:E\to E be a relatively nonexpansive mapping and let U ⁣:F→FU\colon F\to F be an η\eta-demimetric and demiclosed mapping with F(U)≠∅F(U)\neq\emptyset, where F(U)F(U) is the set of all fixed points of UU. Let L ⁣:E→FL\colon E\to F be a bounded linear operator such that L≠0L\neq 0 with F0=F(T)∩L−1F(U)≠∅F_0=F(T)\cap L^{-1}F(U)\neq\emptyset. Then, W. Takahashi [A strong convergence theorem for solving the split common fixed point problem in two Banach spaces and applications, Linear and Nonlinear Analysis 6 (2020) 473–495] considered Halpern-type iteration [see B. Halpern, Fixed points of nonexpanding maps, Bull. Amer. Math. Soc. 73 (1967) 957–961] and proved a strong convergence theorem for the split common fixed point problem for UU and TT. From this, we got several new results for the split convex feasibility problem, the split common null point problem and the split common fixed point problem.
In this paper, motivated by the paper of Takahashi cited above, for p>1p>1, when EE is a p-uniformly convex and smooth Banach space and FF is a strictly convex, reflexive and smooth Banach space, we consider the split common null point problem. We propose another Halpern-type iteration [see K. Nakajo, Strong convergence for the problem of image recovery by the metric projections in Banach space, J. Nonlinear Convex Analysis 23 (2022) 357–376] and prove strong convergence theorems, from which we obtain the results for several split problems under weaker conditions than those by Takahashi [loc. cit.].
