Iterative solutions of parameter-dependent nonlinear equations of Hammerstein type (Q1376704)

For the general Hammerstein type equation \[ u= f+\lambda KNu, \] where \(f\), \(u\in X\) (a complex Banach space), \(K:X\to X\) is a linear, \(N:{\mathcal D}(N)\subseteq X\to X\) is a nonlinear operator, and \(\lambda\) is a complex parameter, iterative solutions are constructed by means of the contraction mapping method under quite general assumptions. The nonlinear operator \(N\) might not be monotone, and there is no need for restrictions of its Lipschitz-constant. Furthermore, the range of parameter values \(\lambda\) could be increased by using a weighted norm on the Banach space \(X\) that allows to reduce the norm of the linear operator \(K\). Finally, the author gives a simple example to illustrate the foregoing analysis.
