Let be a real reflexive Banach space with a weakly continuous duality mapping . Let be a nonempty weakly closed star-shaped (with respect to ) subset of . Let = be a uniformly continuous semigroup of asymptotically nonexpansive self-mappings of , which is uniformly continuous at zero. We will show that the implicit iteration scheme: , for all , converges strongly to a common fixed point of the semigroup for some suitably chosen parameters and . Our results extend and improve corresponding ones of Suzuki (2002), Xu (2005), and Zegeye and Shahzad (2009).

Let H: Mm Mm be a holomorphic function of the algebra Mm of complex m m matrices. Suppose that H is orthogonally additive and orthogonally multiplicative on self-adjoint elements. We show that either the range of H consists of zero trace elements, or there is a scalar sequence {n} and an invertible S in Mm such that

Let E and E be two Hilbert E -modules over E -algebras E and E , respectively. Let E be a surjective linear isometry from E onto E and E a map from E into E . We will prove in this paper that if the E -algebras E and E are commutative, then E preserves the inner products and E is a module map, ie, there exists a E -isomorphism E between the E -algebras such that <div class="gsh_dspfr"> E
