Strong convergence theorem for approximation of solutions of equations of Hammerstein type

Let H be a real Hilbert space. Let K, F : H -> H be bounded, continuous and monotone mappings. Suppose that u* is an element of H is a solution to the Hammerstein equation u+KFu = 0. We construct a new explicit iterative sequence and prove strong convergence of the sequence to a solution of the Hammerstein equation. Furthermore, we give some examples to show that our result is interdisciplinary in nature, covers a large variety of areas and should be of much interest to a wide audience. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd.
