Global attractivity results on complete ordered metric spaces for third-order difference equations (Q355571)

Summary: We establish fixed-point theorems for mixed monotone mappings in the setting of ordered metric spaces which satisfy a contractive condition for all points that are related by a given ordering. We also give a global attractivity result for all solutions of the difference equation \(u_{n+1} = F(u_n, u_{n-1}, u_{n-2}), n = 2, 3, \dots\), where \(F\) satisfies certain monotonicity conditions with respect to the given ordering. As an application of our obtained results, we present some iterative algorithms to solve a class of matrix equations. A numerical example is also presented to test the validity of the algorithms.
