Abstract

Let E be a Banach spaces ordered by a cone K. We prove a fixed point theorem for Lipschitz continuous monotone decreasing functions f: KK, which proves the existence of a unique fixed point in cases where the Lipschitz constant of f is bigger than 1. This fixed point theorem can be applied to Hammerstein integral equations in a quite natural way.
