A Picard-S iterative method for approximating fixed point of weak-contraction mappings

Abstract

We study the convergence analysis of a Picard-S iterative method for a particular class of weakcontraction mappings and give a data dependence result for fixed points of these mappings. Also, we show that the Picard-S iterative method can be used to approximate the unique solution of mixed type Volterra-Fredholm functional nonlinear integral equation x (t) = F(t, x(t), ?t1,a1... ?tm,am K(t,s,x(s))ds, ?b1,a1...?bm,am H(t,s,x(s))ds). Furthermore, with the help of the Picard-S iterative method, we establish a data dependence result for the solution of integral equation mentioned above.
