Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to introduce a split equilibrium problem (SEP) and find a solution of the equilibrium problem such that its image under a given bounded linear operator is a solution of another equilibrium problem. By using the iterative method, we construct some iterative algorithms to solve such problem in real Hilbert spaces and obtain some strong and weak convergence theorems. Finally, we point out that there exist many SEPs which need the use of new methods to solve them. Some examples are given to illustrate our results.
