We define the concept of the generalized u0 -concave operators, which generalize the definition of the u0 -concave operators. By using the iterative method and the partial ordering method, we prove the existence and uniqueness of fixed points of this class of the operators. As an example of the application of our results, we show the existence and uniqueness of solutions to a class of the Hammerstein integral equations.

1. Introduction and Preliminary In 1, 2, Collatz divided the typical problems in computation mathematics into five classes, and the first class is how to solve the operator equation Ax  x

by the iterative method, that is, construct successively the sequence xn1  Axn

for some initial x0 to solve 1.1. Let P be a cone in real Banach space E and the partial ordering ≤ defined by P , that is, x ≤ y if and only if y − x ∈ P . The concept and properties of the cone can be found in 3– 5. People studied how to solve 1.1 by using the iterative method and the partial ordering method see 1–11.

Fixed Point Theory and Applications

In 7, Krasnosel’ski˘ı gave the concept of u0 -concave operators and studied the existence and uniqueness of the fixed point for the operator by the iterative method. The concept of u0 -concave operators was defined by Krasnosel’ski˘ı as follows. Let operator A : P → P and u0 > θ. Suppose that i for any x > θ, there exist α  αx > 0 and β  βx > 0, such that αu0 ≤ Ax ≤ βu0 ;

Then A is called an u0 -concave operator. In many papers, the authors studied u0 -concave operators and obtained some results see 3–5, 8–15. In this paper, we generalize the concept of u0 -concave operators, give a concept of the generalized u0 -concave operators, and study the existence and uniqueness of fixed points for this class of operators by the iterative method. Our results generalize the results in 3, 4, 7, 15.

2. Main Result In this paper, we always let P be a cone in real Banach space E and the partial ordering ≤ defined by P . Given w0 ∈ E, let P w0   {x ∈ E | x ≥ w0 }. Definition 2.1. Let operator A : P w0  → P w0  and u0 > θ. Suppose that i for any x > w0 , there exist α  αx > 0 and β  βx > 0, such that αu0  w0 ≤ Ax ≤ βu0  w0 ;
