AbstractWe introduce the class of $$\alpha $$
α
-firmly nonexpansive and quasi $$\alpha $$
α
-firmly nonexpansive operators on r-uniformly convex Banach spaces. This extends the existing notion from Hilbert spaces, where $$\alpha $$
α
-firmly nonexpansive operators coincide with so-called $$\alpha $$
α
-averaged operators. For our more general setting, we show that $$\alpha $$
α
-averaged operators form a subset of $$\alpha $$
α
-firmly nonexpansive operators. We develop some basic calculus rules for (quasi) $$\alpha $$
α
-firmly nonexpansive operators. In particular, we show that their compositions and convex combinations are again (quasi) $$\alpha $$
α
-firmly nonexpansive. Moreover, we will see that quasi $$\alpha $$
α
-firmly nonexpansive operators enjoy the asymptotic regularity property. Then, based on Browder’s demiclosedness principle, we prove for r-uniformly convex Banach spaces that the weak cluster points of the iterates $$x_{n+1}:=Tx_{n}$$
