In this paper, we introduce a shrinking projection method of an inertial type with self-adaptive step size for finding a common element of the set of solutions of a split generalized equilibrium problem and the set of common fixed points of a countable family of nonexpansive multivalued mappings in real Hilbert spaces. The self-adaptive step size incorporated helps to overcome the difficulty of having to compute the operator norm, while the inertial term accelerates the rate of convergence of the proposed algorithm. Under standard and mild conditions, we prove a strong convergence theorem for the problems under consideration and obtain some consequent results. Finally, we apply our result to solve split mixed variational inequality and split minimization problems, and we present numerical examples to illustrate the efficiency of our algorithm in comparison with other existing algorithms. Our results complement and generalize several other results in this direction in the current literature.
