Fixed point theory in a new class of Banach algebras and application (Q467936)

The authors present a few results on the existence of solutions of the operator equation having the form \(x= Ax+ LxUx\), where \(A, L, U\) are nonlinear operators acting in a Banach algebra \(E\) which has the following property \(({\mathcal P})\): If \((x_n)\), \((y_n)\) are sequences in \(E\) converging weakly to \(x\) and \(y\), respectively, then the sequence \((x_n,y_n)\) converges weakly to \(xy\). It is assumed that \(A, L, U\) are weakly sequentially continuous and satisfy some additional conditions expressed mainly in terms of the weak compactness or measures of weak noncompactness. An example of a functional integral equation illustrating the obtained results is included.
