In this paper, let E be a reflexive and strictly convex Banach space which either is uniformly smooth or has a weakly continuous duality map. We consider the hybrid viscosity approximation method for finding a common fixed point of an infinite family of nonexpansive mappings in E. We prove the strong convergence of this method to a common fixed point of the infinite family of nonexpansive mappings, which solves a variational inequality on their common fixed point set. We also give a weak convergence theorem for the hybrid viscosity approximation method involving an infinite family of nonexpansive mappings in a Hilbert space. MSC:47H17, 47H09, 47H10, 47H05.

A unital ring is called clean (resp. strongly clean) if every element can be written as the sum of an invertible element and an idempotent (resp. an invertible element and an idempotent that commutes). T.Y. Lam proposed a question: which von Neumann algebras are clean as rings? In this paper, we characterize strongly clean von Neumann algebras and prove that all finite von Neumann algebras and all separable infinite factors are clean.

Let T be be a zero-product preserving bounded linear map between C*-algebras A and B. Here neither A nor B is necessarily unital.

We study an implicit predictor-corrector iteration process for finitely many asymptotically quasi-nonexpansive self-mappings on a nonempty closed convex subset of a Banach space. We derive a necessary and sufficient condition for the strong convergence of this iteration process to a common fixed point of these mappings. In the case is a uniformly convex Banach space and the mappings are asymptotically nonexpansive, we verify the weak (resp., strong) convergence of this iteration process to a common fixed point of these mappings if Opial's condition is satisfied (resp., one of these mappings is semicompact). Our results improve and extend earlier and recent ones in the literature.

Suppose<i>X</i>and<i>Y</i>are locally compact Hausdorff spaces,<i>E</i>and<i>F</i>are Banach spaces, and<i>F</i>is strictly convex. We show that every linear isometry<i>T</i>from<i>C</i>₀(<i>X</i>,<i>E</i>)<i>into</i><i>C</i>₀(<i>Y</i>,<i>F</i>) is essentially a weighted composition operator<i>Tf</i>(<i>y</i>)=<i>h</i>(<i>y</i>)(<i>f</i>((<i>y</i>))).
