Domains of global convergence for a type of nonlinear Fredholm-Nemytskii integral equations (Q2273093)

The authors consider iterative schemes related to the fixed point theorem with linear convergence and auxiliary points to obtain domains of global convergence for Fredholm integral equations with Nemytskii operator: \[ x(t)=Tx=\lambda \int\limits_a^bK(t,\tau)H(x)(\tau)d\tau +f(t),\tag{1} \] The following three tasks are solved in the article: The first task is to locate a fixed point of the operator \(T\) and then to approximate a solution of Equation~(1). The second task is to obtain a domain of uniqueness of the fixed point and may then separate it from other possible fixed points. Then, once a fixed point is located, the second task is to separate the fixed point located from other possible fixed points that the operator \(T\) can have. For the solution of these tasks, the global convergence of iterative schemes in regions of the full space is studied. The third task is to approximate numerically a fixed point by using the iterative scheme chosen. Two numerical examples are given to illustrate effectiveness of the method.
