In this paper, we combine the subgradient extragradient method with the Halpern method for finding a solution of a variational inequality involving a monotone Lipschitz mapping in Banach spaces. By using the generalized projection operator and the Lyapunov functional introduced by Alber, we prove a strong convergence theorem. We also consider the problem of finding a common element of the set of solutions of a variational inequality problem and the set of fixed points of a relatively nonexpansive mapping. Our results improve some well-known results in Banach spaces or Hilbert spaces. c 2017 all rights reserved.Keywords: Subgradient extragradient method, Halpern method, generalized projection operator, monotone mapping, variational inequality, relatively nonexpansive mapping. 2010 MSC: 47H09, 47H05, 47H06, 47J25, 47J05.
