Hybrid fixed point theory in partially ordered normed linear spaces and applications to fractional integral equations (Q2852264)

Some basic hybrid fixed point theorems of Banach and Schauder type and some hybrid fixed point theorems of Krasnoselskii type involving the sum of two operators are proved in a partially ordered normed linear space. The author improves his previous results under weaker conditions and applies them to nonlinear Volterra type fractional integral equations for proving the existence of solutions under certain monotonic conditions blending with the existence of either a lower or an upper solution type function.NEWLINENEWLINEThe nonlinear integral equations of the following types are considered NEWLINE\[NEWLINE x(t)=h(t)+\frac{1}{\Gamma(q)}\int_{t_0}^{t}(t-s)^{q-1}g(s,x(s))ds NEWLINE\]NEWLINE and NEWLINE\[NEWLINE x(t)=f(t,x(t))+\frac{1}{\Gamma(q)}\int_{t_0}^{t}(t-s)^{q-1}g(s,x(s))ds, NEWLINE\]NEWLINE where \(0<q<1\), \(t\in[t_0,t_0+a]\), \(a>0\).
