Generalized equilibrium problem Relatively nonexpansive mapping Maximal monotone operator Hybrid shrinking projection method Strong convergence Uniformly smooth and uniformly convex Banach spaceThe purpose of this paper is to introduce and consider a hybrid shrinking projection method for finding a common element of the set EP of solutions of a generalized equilibrium problem, the set ∞ n=0 F (S n ) of common fixed points of a countable family of relatively nonexpansive mappings {S n } ∞ n=0 and the set T −1 0 of zeros of a maximal monotone operator T in a uniformly smooth and uniformly convex Banach space. It is proven that under appropriate conditions, the sequence generated by the hybrid shrinking projection method, converges strongly to some point in EP ∩ T −1 0 ∩ ( ∞ n=0 F (S n )). This new result represents the improvement, complement and development of the previously known ones in the literature.
