A fixed point theorem for condensing operators and applications to Hammerstein integral equations in Banach spaces (Q1903207): Difference between revisions

The object of the paper is the study of the Hammerstein integral equation \[ x(t)= h(t)+ \int^1_0 k(t,s) f(s,x (s)) ds \qquad (t\in [0, 1]), \] where \(x\) takes values in a real Banach space \(B\). The author establishes first a fixed point theorem of Furi-Pera type for operators being condensing with respect to the Kuratowski measure of noncompactness. Next, using this theorem and assuming some growth or monotonicity restrictions on the nonlinear function \(f\), a few existence theorems for the equation in question are proved.
