Petruşel, Adrian; Rus, Ioan A. Fixed point theorems in ordered \(L\)-spaces. (English) Zbl 1086.47026 Proc. Am. Math. Soc. 134, No. 2, 411-418 (2006). An ordered \(L\)-space \((X,\rightarrow ,\leq )\) consists of a nonempty set \(X\), a convergence structure \(\rightarrow\) on the set of the sequences in \(X\) and an ordering relation \(\leq\) on \(X\), the two being connected by some conditions of compatibility. In this paper, the authors establish several sufficient conditions in order that an operator \(f:X\rightarrow X\) defined on an ordered \(L\)-space to be a Picard operator (that is, to have a unique fixed point \(x^*\) and, for each \(x\in X\), the sequence \((f^n(x))\) of successive approximations to converge to \(x^*\)). Finally, some applications to matrix equations are considered.
