Quantitative results on Fejér monotone sequences

We provide in a unified way quantitative forms of strong convergence results for numerous iterative procedures which satisfy a general type of Fej´er monotonicity where the convergence uses the compactness of the underlying set. These quantitative versions are in the form of explicit rates of so-called metastability in the sense of T. Tao. Our approach covers examples ranging from the proximal point algorithm for maximal monotone operators to various fixed point iterations (xn) for firmly nonexpansive, asymptotically nonexpansive, strictly pseudo-contractive and other types of mappings. Many of the results hold in a general metric setting with some convexity structure added (so-called W-hyperbolic spaces). Sometimes uniform convexity is assumed still covering the important class of CAT(0)-spaces due to Gromov.
