A fixed point theorem involving rational expressions without using Picard iteration (Q2245121)

In accordance with the ideas used in [\textit{J. Górnicki} and \textit{B. E. Rhoades}, Indian J. Pure Appl. Math. 27, 13--23 (1996; Zbl 0847.47038)] and [\textit{E. Karapınar}, Results Nonlinear Anal. 4, 127--129 (2021)], the author establishes a convergence result (Theorem 6) for the Krasnosel'skij iteration [\textit{M. A. Krasnosel'skij}, Usp. Mat. Nauk 10, 123--127 (1955; Zbl 0064.12002)] \[ x_{p+1}=\frac{1}{2}\left(x_p+T x_{p}\right), \] where \(T: C\rightarrow C\) is a self mapping of a nonempty closed and convex subset \(C\) of a Banach space \(X\). It is proved that, if \(T\) satisfies orbitally a certain contraction condition of rational type, then the limit of the sequence \(\{x_p\}\) converges to a fixed point of \(T\). The corresponding uniqueness result is presented in Theorem 7.
