On global existence and attractivity results for nonlinear functional integral equations (Q844955): Difference between revisions

The authors study the existence and global attractivity of the solutions for the following nonlinear functional integral equation (FIE) \[ x\left( t\right) =F\left( t,f\left( t,\alpha \left( t\right) \right) ,\int\limits_{0}^{\beta \left( t\right) }g\left( t,s,x\left( \gamma \left( s\right) \right) \right) ds\right) \] for all \(t\in \mathbb{R}_{+}\), where \(f:\mathbb{R}_{+}\times \mathbb{R} \rightarrow \mathbb{R}\), \(g:\mathbb{R}_{+}\times \mathbb{R}_{+}\times \mathbb{R}\rightarrow \mathbb{R}\), \(F:\mathbb{R}_{+}\times \mathbb{R}\times \mathbb{R}\rightarrow \mathbb{R}\) and \(\alpha ,\beta ,\gamma:\mathbb{R} _{+}\rightarrow \mathbb{R}_{+}\). They give two existence and global attractivity results for the solution of the FIE via a measure theoretic fixed point theorem of \textit{B. Dhage} [Commun. Appl. Nonlinear Anal. 15, No.~2, 89--101 (2008; Zbl 1160.47041)]. These results improve and generalize the attractivity results of \textit{J. Banas} and \textit{B. Rzepka} [Appl. Math. Lett. 16, No.~1, 1--6 (2003; Zbl 1015.47034)], \textit{J. Banas} and \textit{B. Dhage} [Nonlinear Anal., Theory Methods Appl. 69, No.~7 (A), 1945--1952 (2008; Zbl 1154.45005)], \textit{B. Dhage} [Nonlinear Anal., Theory Methods Appl. 70, No.~7 (A), 2485--2493 (2009; Zbl 1163.45005)] and \textit{X. Hu} and \textit{J. Yan} [J. Math. Anal. Appl. 321, No.~1, 147--156 (2006; Zbl 1108.45006)] under some weaker Lipschitz conditions.
