We define the concept of the generalized u 0 -concave operators, which generalize the definition of the u 0 -concave operators. By using the iterative method and the partial ordering method, we prove the existence and uniqueness of fixed points of this class of the operators. As an example of the application of our results, we show the existence and uniqueness of solutions to a class of the Hammerstein integral equations. 1. Introduction and Preliminary In 1, 2, C ollatz divided the typical problems in computation mathematics into five classes, and the first class is how to solve the operator equation Ax  x 1.1 by the iterative method, that is, construct successively the sequence x n1  Ax n 1.2 for some initial x 0 to solve 1.1. Let P be a cone in real Banach space E and the partial ordering ≤ defined by P ,that is, x ≤ y if and only if y − x ∈ P. The concept and properties of the cone can be found in 3– 5. People studied how to solve 1.1 by using the iterative method and the partial ordering method see 1–11. 2 Fixed Point Theory and Applications In 7, Krasnosel’ski ˘ ı gave the concept of u 0 -concave operators and studied the existence and uniqueness of the fixed point for the operator by the iterative method. The concept of u 0 -concave operators was defined by Krasnosel’ski ˘ ı as follows. Let operator A : P → P and u 0 >θ. Suppose that i for any x>θ, there exist α  αx > 0andβ  βx > 0, such that αu 0 ≤ Ax ≤ βu 0 ; 1.3 ii for any x ∈ P satisfying α 1 u 0 ≤ x ≤ β 1 u 0 α 1  α 1 x > 0, β 1  β 1 x > 0 and any 0 <t<1, there exists η  ηx, t > 0, such that A  tx  ≥  1  η  tAx. 1.4 Then A is called an u 0 -concave operator. In many papers, the authors studied u 0 -concave operators and obtained some results see 3–5, 8–15. In this paper, we generalize the concept of u 0 -concave operators, give a concept of the generalized u 0 -concave operators, and study the existence and uniqueness of fixed points for this class of operators by the iterative method. Our results generalize the results in 3, 4, 7, 15. 2. Main Result In this paper, we always let P be a cone in real Banach space E and the partial ordering ≤ defined by P .Givenw 0 ∈ E,letPw 0 {x ∈ E | x ≥ w 0 }. Definition 2.1. Let operator A : P w 0  → Pw 0  and u 0 >θ. Suppose that i for any x>w 0 , there exist α  αx > 0andβ  βx > 0, such that αu 0  w 0 ≤ Ax ≤ βu 0  w 0 ; 2.1 ii for any x ∈ Pw 0  satisfying α 1 u 0  w 0 ≤ x ≤ β 1 u 0  w 0 α 1  α 1 x > 0, β 1  β 1 x > 0 and any 0 <t<1, there exists η  ηx, t > 0, such that A  tx   1 − t  w 0  ≥  1  η  tAx   1 −  1  η  t  w 0 . 2.2 Then A is called a generalized u 0 -concave operator. Remark 2.2. In Definition 2.1,letw 0  θ, we get the definition of the u 0 -concave operator. Theorem 2.3. Let operator A : Pw 0  → Pw 0  be generalized u 0 -concave and increasing (i.e., x ≤ y ⇒ Ax ≤ Ay), then A has at most one fixed point in Pw 0  \{w 0 }. Fixed Point Theory and Applications 3 Proof. Let x 1 >w 0 , x 2 >w 0 be two different fixed points of A,thatis,Ax 1  x 1 , Ax 2  x 2 ,andx 1 /  x 2 .ByDefinition 2.1, there exist real numbers α 1  α 1 x 1  > 0, β 1  β 1 x 1  > 0, α 2  α 2 x 2  > 0, β 2  β 2 x 2  > 0, such that α 1 u 0  w 0 ≤ x 1 ≤ β 1 u 0  w 0 ,α 2 u 0  w 0 ≤ x 2 ≤ β 2 u 0  w 0 . 2.3 Hence α 1 /β 2 x 2 − w 0 w 0 ≤ α 1 u 0  w 0 ≤ x 1 ≤ β 1 u 0  w 0 ≤ β 1 /α 2 x 2 − w 0 w 0 .

Next we will show that t 0  1. Assume that t 0 < 1; by 2.2 and 2.4, there exists η 1  η 1 x 2 ,t 0  > 0, such that x 1  Ax 1 ≥ A  t 0 x 2   1 − t 0  w 0  ≥  1  η 1  t 0 Ax 2   1 −  1  η 1  t 0  w 0   1  η 1  t 0 x 2   1 −  1  η 1  t 0  w 0 . 2.5 By 2.2, there exists η 2  η 2 x 2 ,t 0  > 0, such that x 2  Ax 2  A  t 0  t −1 0 x 2   1 − t −1 0  w 0    1 − t 0  w 0  ≥  1  η 2  t 0 A  t −1 0 x 2   1 − t −1 0  w 0    1 −  1  η 2  t 0  w 0 , 2.6 hence, A  t −1 0 x 2   1 − t −1 0  w 0  ≤  1  η 2  −1 t −1 0 Ax 2   1 −  1  η 2  −1 t −1 0  w 0 . 2.7 Therefore, x 1  Ax 1 ≤ A  t −1 0 x 2   1 − t −1 0  w 0  ≤  1  η 2  −1 t −1 0 Ax 2   1 −  1  η 2  −1 t −1 0  w 0 ≤  1  η 2  −1 t −1 0 x 2   1 −  1  η 2  −1 t −1 0  w 0 . 2.8 Obviously, by 2.5 and 2.8,weget  1  η 1  t 0 x 2   1 −  1  η 1  t 0  w 0 ≤ x 1 ≤  1  η 2  −1 t −1 0 x 2   1 −  1  η 2  −1 t −1 0  w 0 . 2.9 4 Fixed Point Theory and Applications Let η  min{η 1 ,η 2 }, we have  1  η  t 0 x 2   1 −  1  η  t 0  w 0 ≤ x 1 ≤  1  η  −1 t −1 0 x 2   1 −  1  η  −1 t −1 0  w 0 , 2.10 in contradiction to the definition of t 0 . Therefore, t 0  1. By 2.4, x 1  x 2 . The proof is completed. To prove the following Theorem 2.4, we will use the definition of the u 0 -norm as follows. Given u 0 >θ,set E u 0  { x ∈ E | there exists a real number λ>0, such that − λu 0 ≤ x ≤ λu 0 } ,  x  u 0  inf { λ>0 |−λu 0 ≤ x ≤ λu 0 } , ∀x ∈ E u 0 . 2.11 It is easy to see that E u 0 becomes a normed linear space under t he norm · u 0 . x u 0 is called the u 0 - norm of the element x ∈ E u 0 see 3, 4. Theorem 2.4. Let operator A : Pw 0  → P w 0  be increasing and generalized u 0 -concave. Suppose that A has a fixed point x ∗ in Pw 0  \{w 0 }, then, constructing successively the sequence x n1  Ax n n  0, 1, 2,  for any initial x 0 ∈ Pw 0  \{w 0 }, we have x n − x ∗  u 0 → 0 n →∞.

Therefore, i of Definition 2.1 is satisfied.

Hence the operator A : Pw 0  → P w 0  is generalized u 0 -concave. Consequently, operator A satisfies all conditions of Theorem 2.5,thus the conclusion of Example 3.1 holds. Example 3.2. Let R be a real numbers set, and let P  {x | x ≥ 0, x ∈ R}, then R is a real Banach space and P is a normal and solid cone in R.LetAx x2 1/2 −2. Considering the equation: x  Ax. Obviously, A is a generalized u 0 -concave operator and satisfies all the conditions of Theorem 2.5. Hence A has the only one fixed point x ∗ ∈ P−2 \{−2} −2, ∞. Moreover, we know x ∗  −1 by computing. In Example 3.2, we know that operator A : −2, ∞ → −2, ∞ doesn’t satisfy the definition of u 0 -concave operators. Therefore, we can’t obtain the fixed point of A by the fixed point theorem of u 0 -concave operators. The u 0 -concave operators’ fixed points are all positive, but here A’s fixed point is negative.
