In addition, we establish convergence results for these proposed iterative methods under some mild conditions. Furthermore, we establish analytically and numerically that our newly proposed iterative method converges to a common element of the set of fixed points of a Reich-Suzuki nonexpansive mapping and the set of solutions of the variational inequalities problems faster compared to some well-known iterative methods in the literature. Finally, we apply our proposed iterative method to approximate the solution of a convex minimization problem. The results obtained in this paper improve, extend and unify some related results in the literature. https://ijnaa.semnan.ac.ir/article_6813_522537140b0de8b31e5d690dddd4b04a.pdf
