Suppose \(X\) is a complex Banach space, \(A\) is a bounded linear operator on it and \(y\in X\) is a given element. This note deals with the operator equation \(Ax=y\), \(x\in X\). The operator \(A\) may not be invertible, but one assumes the existence of a possibly non-unique solution \(x^*\). One also assumes the existence of two elements \(z,v\) and a number \(p>0\) such that \(x^*-z= A^p\nu\), where \(z\) is viewed as the initial approximation to \(x^*\). In such cases one can define an iteration sequence and study its convergence towards \(x^*\). The standard technique is described in the book of \textit{A. B. Bakushinskij} and \textit{A. V. Goncharskij} [``Il-posed problems. Numerical methods and applications. Textbook''. (Russian) Moskva: (1989; Zbl 0697.65048)]. In the present note the author extends some Hilbert space results to Banach spaces. He also obtains estimates for the rate of convergence of the iteration sequence. The fractional powers \(A^p\) are defined by the classical Balakrishnan formula. For a recent related result see \textit{A. B. Bakushinskii} [Comput. Math. Math.
