We extend the results of Schu [‘Iterative construction of fixed points of asymptotically nonexpansive mappings’, J. Math. Anal. Appl.158 (1991), 407–413] to monotone asymptotically nonexpansive mappings by means of the Fibonacci–Mann iteration process

$$\begin{eqnarray}x_{n+1}=t_{n}T^{f(n)}(x_{n})+(1-t_{n})x_{n},\quad n\in \mathbb{N},\end{eqnarray}$$

We show that the direct sum $\mathop{({X}_{1} \oplus \cdots \oplus {X}_{r} )}\nolimits_{\psi } $ with a strictly monotone norm has the weak fixed point property for nonexpansive mappings whenever $M({X}_{i} )\gt 1$ for each $i= 1, \ldots , r$. In particular, $\mathop{({X}_{1} \oplus \cdots \oplus {X}_{r} )}\nolimits_{\psi } $ enjoys the fixed point property if Banach spaces ${X}_{i} $ are uniformly nonsquare. This combined with the earlier results gives a definitive answer for $r= 2$: a direct sum ${X}_{1} {\mathop{\oplus }\nolimits}_{\psi } {X}_{2} $ of uniformly nonsquare spaces with any monotone norm has the fixed point property. Our results are extended to asymptotically nonexpansive mappings in the intermediate sense.

Let A be a subset of a Banach space E. A mapping T: A →A is called asymptoically semicontractive if there exists a mapping S: A×A→A and a sequence (kn) in [1, ∞] such that Tx=S(x, x) for all x ∈A while for each fixed x ∈A, S(., x) is asymptotically nonexpansive with sequence (kn) and S(x,.) is strongly compact. Among other things, it is proved that each asymptotically semicontractive self-mpping T of a closed bounded and convex subset A of a uniformly convex Banach space E which satisfies Opial's condition has a fixed point in A, provided s has a certain asymptoticregurity property.
