Convergence results of forward–backward method for a zero of the sum of maximally monotone mappings in Banach spaces

The purpose of this paper is to study a forward–backward algorithm for approximating a zero of the sum of maximally monotone mappings in the setting of Banach spaces. Under some mild conditions, we prove a new strong convergence theorem for the algorithm produced by the method in real reflexive Banach spaces. In addition, we give some applications to the minimization problems. Finally, we provide a numerical example, which supports our main result. Our theorems improve and unify most of the results that have been proved for this important class of nonlinear mappings.
