Let be a real Hilbert space and C be a nonempty closed convex subset of H. Let T : C → C be a demicontractive map satisfying 〈Tx, x〉 ≥ ‖x‖² for all x ∈ D (T). Then the Mann iterative sequence given by x_n + 1 = (1 - a_n) x_n + a_nT x_n, where a_n ∈ (0, 1) n ≥ 0, converges strongly to an element of F (T):= {x ∈ C : Tx = x}. This strong convergence is obtained without the compactness-type assumptions on C, which many previous results (see e.g. [1]) employed.
