Iterative equations in Banach spaces. (English) Zbl 1069.47064
This article deals with equations of type $\sum_i A_if^i(x) = F(x) \quad \text{and} \quad \sum_i A_i f(\phi_i(x)) = F(x),$ $$f^i(\cdot) \;(i = 1, 2, \dots$$ are iterations of $$f(\cdot)$$). Both types are special cases of the equation $${\mathcal P}f = F$$ with an operator $${\mathcal P}: {\mathcal K}(X) \to {\mathcal K}(X)$$, where $${\mathcal K}(X) = \{f: X \to X$$ Lipschitz$$: \| f - \text{id}\| _{\sup} < \infty\}$$. The authors present some theorems about the unique solvability of such equations; their proofs are based on the accurate calculation of the Lipschitz constant for the operator $${\mathcal P} - I$$ and the application of the Banach-Caccioppoli fixed point principle.
