On iterative solution of nonlinear functional equations in a metric space

Given that A and P as nonlinear onto and into self-mappings of a complete metric space R, we offer here a constructive proof of the existence of the unique solution of the operator equation Au=Pu, where u∈R, by considering the iterative sequence Aun+1=Pun (u0 prechosen, n=0,1,2,…). We use Kannan...

Description
Summary:Given that A and P as nonlinear onto and into self-mappings of a complete metric space R, we offer here a constructive proof of the existence of the unique solution of the operator equation Au=Pu, where u∈R, by considering the iterative sequence Aun+1=Pun (u0 prechosen, n=0,1,2,…). We use Kannan's criterion [1] for the existence of a unique fixed point of an operator instead of the contraction mapping principle as employed in [2]. Operator equations of the form Anu=Pmu, where u∈R, n and m positive integers, are also treated.
