By introducing new definitions of π convex and −π concave quasioperator and V0 quasilower and π’0 quasiupper, by means of the monotone iterative techniques without any compactness conditions, we obtain the iterative unique solution of nonlinear mixed monotone Fredholm-type integral equations in Banach spaces. Our results are even new to π convex and −π concave quasi operator, and then we apply these results to the two-point boundary value problem of second-order nonlinear ordinary differential equations in the ordered Banach spaces. 1. Introduction In this paper, we will consider the following nonlinear Fredholm integral equation: π’ (π‘) = ∫ π» (π‘, π , π’ (π )) ππ , πΌ π‘ ∈ πΌ, (1) where πΌ = [π, π] and π» ∈ πΆ[πΌ × πΌ × πΈ, πΈ], πΈ is a real Banach space with the norm β ⋅ β, and there exists a function πΊ ∈ πΆ[πΌ × πΌ × πΈ × πΈ, πΈ] such that for any (π‘, π , π₯) ∈ πΌ × πΌ × πΈ π» (π‘, π , π₯) = πΊ (π‘, π , π₯, π₯) . (2) Guo and Lakshmikantham [1] introduced the definition of mixed monotone operator and coupled fixed point; there are many good results (see [1–13]). In the special case where π»(π‘, π , π₯) is nondecreasing in π₯ for fixed π‘, π ∈ πΌ, Guo [2] established an existence theorem of the maximal and minimal solutions for (1) in the ordered Banach spaces by means of monotone iterative techniques. Recently, Jingxian and Lishan [3] and Lishan [4] obtained iterative sequences that converge uniformly to solutions and coupled minimal and maximal quasisolutions of the nonlinear Fredholm integral equations in ordered Banach spaces by using the MoΜuch fixed point theorem and establishing new comparison results. But these all required the compactness conditions and the monotone conditions in the above papers, and furthermore they did not obtain the unique solutions. In addition, extensive studies have also been carried out to study the global or iterative solutions of initial value problems [8–13]. In this paper, by introducing new definitions of π convex and −π concave quasioperator and V0 quasilower and π’0 quasiupper, by means of the monotone iterative techniques without any compactness conditions which are of the essence in [2–4, 7, 8, 14], we obtain the iterative unique solution of nonlinear mixed monotone Fredholm-type integral equations in Banach spaces and then apply these results to the twopoint boundary value problem of second-order nonlinear ordinary differential equations. 2. Preliminaries and Definitions Let π be a cone in πΈ, that is, a closed convex subset such that ππ ⊂ π for any π ≥ 0 and π ∩ {−π} = {π}. By means of π, a partial order ≤ is defined as π₯ ≤ π¦ if and only if π¦ − π₯ ∈ π. A cone π is said to be normal if there exists a constant π > 0 such that π₯, π¦ ∈ πΈ, π ≤ π₯ ≤ π¦ implies β π₯ β≤ π β π¦ β, where π denotes the zero element of πΈ (see [2, 14]), and we call the smallest number π the normal constant of π and denote ππ . The cone π is normal if and only if every ordered interval [π₯, π¦] = {π§ ∈ πΈ : π₯ ≤ π§ ≤ π¦} is bounded. Let ππΌ = {π’ ∈ πΆ[πΌ, πΈ] : π’(π‘) ≥ π for all π‘ ∈ πΌ}, where πΆ[πΌ, πΈ] denotes the Banach space of all the continuous 2 Discrete Dynamics in Nature and Society mapping π’ : πΌ → πΈ with the norm β π’βπΆ = maxπ‘∈πΌ |π’(π‘)|. It is clear that ππΌ is a cone of space πΆ[πΌ, πΈ], and so it defines a partial ordering in πΆ[πΌ, πΈ]. Obviously, the normality of π implies the normality of ππΌ and the normal constants of ππΌ , and π are the same. Let π’0 , V0 ∈ πΆ[πΌ, πΈ]. Then, π’0 , V0 are said to be coupled lower and upper quasi-solutions of (1) if π’0 (π‘) ≤ ∫ πΊ (π‘, π , π’0 (π ) , V0 (π )) ππ , πΌ (3) V0 (π‘) ≥ ∫ πΊ (π‘, π , V0 (π ) , π’0 (π )) ππ , πΌ π‘ ∈ πΌ, π‘ ∈ πΌ. If the equality in (3) holds, then π’0 , V0 are said to be coupled quasi-solutions of (1). We will always assume in this paper that π is a normal cone of πΈ. For any π’0 , V0 ∈ πΆ[πΌ, πΈ] such that V0 ≤ π€0 , we define the ordered interval π· = [π’0 , V0 ] = {π’ ∈ πΆ[πΌ, πΈ] : π’0 ≤ π’ ≤ V0 }. Next, we will give the new definition of π convex and −π concave quasi operator and V0 quasi-lower and π’0 quasiupper. Definition 1. Suppose that, πΊ ∈ πΆ[πΌ × πΌ × πΈ × πΈ, πΈ]. Then πΊ is called π convex and −π concave quasi operator, if there exist functions π : (0, ∞) × (0, ∞) σ³¨→ (0, ∞) , π : (0, ∞) × (0, ∞) σ³¨→ (0, ∞) , 3. The Main Result The main results of this paper are the following three theorems. Theorem 4. Let π be a normal cone of πΈ, let π’0 , V0 ∈ ππΌ be coupled lower and upper quasi-solutions of (1). Assume that conditions (π»1 ), (π»2 ), and (π»3 ) hold and (π»4 ) There exists π€0 ∈ ππΌ such that π’0 ≤ π€0 ≤ V0 , and for πΌ0 , π½0 ∈ (0, ∞) of (π»3 ) such that π’0 ≥ πΌ0 π€0 , π½0 π€0 ≥ V0 . Then, (1) has a unique solution π₯∗ (π‘) ∈ π· = [π’0 , V0 ], and for any initial π₯0 , π¦0 ∈ [π’0 , V0 ], one has π₯π (π‘) σ³¨→ π₯∗ (π‘) , π¦π (π‘) σ³¨→ π₯∗ (π‘) , uniformly on π‘ ∈ πΌ as π σ³¨→ ∞, where {π₯π (π‘)}, {π¦π (π‘)} are defined as π₯π (π‘) = ∫ πΊ (π‘, π , π₯π−1 (π ) , π¦π−1 (π )) ππ , πΌ (7) π¦π (π‘) = ∫ πΊ (π‘, π , π¦π−1 (π ) , π₯π−1 (π )) ππ , πΌ π‘ ∈ πΌ. Proof. We first define the operator π΄ : [π’0 , V0 ] × [π’0 , V0 ] → πΆ[πΌ, πΈ] by the formula (4) π΄ (π’, V) = ∫ πΊ (π‘, π , π’ (π ) , V (π )) ππ . πΌ such that (1) πΊ(π‘, π , πΌπ’, π½V) ≥ π(πΌ, π½)πΊ(π‘, π , π’, V), πΌ < π½, πΌ, π½ ∈ (0, ∞), for all π’, V ∈ πΈ, (2) πΊ(π‘, π , πΌπ’, π½V) ≤ π(πΌ, π½)πΊ(π‘, π , π’, V), πΌ ≥ π½, πΌ, π½ ∈ (0, ∞), for all π’, V ∈ πΈ. Definition 2. Suppose that πΊ ∈ πΆ[πΌ × πΌ × πΈ × πΈ, πΈ], π’0 ∈ π. Then, πΊ is called π’0 quasi-upper, if for any π’, V ∈ πΈ, π’, V < π’0 such that ∫πΌ πΊ(π‘, π , π’, V)ππ < π’0 . Definition 3. Suppose that πΊ ∈ πΆ[πΌ × πΌ × πΈ × πΈ, πΈ], V0 ∈ πΈ. Then, πΊ is called V0 quasi-lower, if for any π’, V ∈ πΈ, π’, V > V0 such that ∫πΌ πΊ(π‘, π , π’, V)ππ > V0 . Let us list the following assumption for convenience. (π»1 ) πΊ is uniformly continuous on πΌ × πΌ × πΈ × πΈ, and πΊ is π convex and −π concave quasi operator. (π»2 ) πΊ(π‘, π , π₯, π¦) is nondecreasing in π₯ ∈ πΈ for fixed (π‘, π , π¦) ∈ πΌ × πΌ × πΈ. πΊ(π‘, π , π₯, π¦) is nonincreasing in π¦ ∈ πΈ for fixed (π‘, π , π₯) ∈ πΌ × πΌ × πΈ. (π»3 ) π(πΌ, π½), π(πΌ, π½) are all increasing in πΌ, decreasing in π½, and π(πΌ0 , π½0 ) ≥ πΌ0 , π(π½0 , πΌ0 ) ≤ π½0 and for πΌ, π½ ∈ [πΌ0 , π½0 ], πΌ < π½, π (π½, πΌ) − π (πΌ, π½) ≤ π (π½ − πΌ) , 0 < π < 1. (6) (5) (8) It follows from the assumption (π»2 ) that π΄ is a mixed monotone operator, that is, π΄(π’, V) is nondecreasing in π’ ∈ [π’0 , V0 ] and nonincreasing in V ∈ [π’0 , V0 ], and π’0 ≤ π΄(π’0 , V0 ), π΄(V0 , π’0 ) ≤ V0 . By (7), we have π₯π (π‘) = π΄(π₯π−1 (π‘), π¦π−1 (π‘)), π¦π (π‘) = π΄(π¦π−1 (π‘), π₯π−1 (π‘)) and set π€π (π‘) = π΄(π€π−1 (π‘), π€π−1 (π‘)) for initial π€0 in (π»4 ), and we also define that π’π (π‘) = π΄ (π’π−1 (π‘) , Vπ−1 (π‘)) , Vπ (π‘) = π΄ (Vπ−1 (π‘) , π’π−1 (π‘)) . (9) Since π΄ is a mixed monotone operator, it is easy to see that π’0 ≤ π’1 ≤ ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ ≤ π’π ≤ ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ ≤ Vπ ≤ ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ ≤ V1 ≤ V0 , π’π ≤ π€π ≤ Vπ . (10) Obviously, by induction, it is easy to see that π’π ≥ πΌπ π€π , Vπ ≤ π½π π€π , π = 0, 1, . . . , (11) πΌ0 ≤ πΌ1 ≤ ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ ≤ πΌπ ≤ ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ ≤ 1 ≤ ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ ≤ π½π ≤ ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ ≤ π½1 ≤ π½0 , (12) where πΌπ = π(πΌπ−1 , π½π−1 ), π½π = π(π½π−1 , πΌπ−1 ), π = 1, 2, . . .. In fact, by the assumption (π»4 ), we have that inequality (11) holds as π = 0. Suppose that inequality (11) holds as π = π, Discrete Dynamics in Nature and Society 3 that is, π’π ≥ πΌπ π€π , Vπ ≤ π½π π€π . Then, as π = π + 1, by the assumption (π»3 ), we have π’π+1 = π΄ (π’π , Vπ ) = ∫ πΊ (π‘, π , π’π (π ) , Vπ (π )) ππ πΌ It is easy to know by (10) and (11) that π ≤ Vπ − π’π ≤ π½π π€π − πΌπ π€π ≤ (π½π − πΌπ ) π’0 ≤ ππ (π½0 − πΌ0 ) π’0 , (18) so by the normality of ππΌ , we have σ΅©σ΅© σ΅© σ΅© σ΅© π σ΅©σ΅©Vπ − π’π σ΅©σ΅©σ΅©πΆ ≤ ππ π (π½0 − πΌ0 ) σ΅©σ΅©σ΅©π’0 σ΅©σ΅©σ΅©πΆ, ≥ ∫ πΊ (π‘, π , πΌπ π€π , π½π π€π ) ππ πΌ ≥ π (πΌπ , π½π ) ∫ πΊ (π‘, π , π€π (π ) , π€π (π )) ππ = πΌπ+1 π€π+1 , πΌ Vπ+1 = π΄ (Vπ , π’π ) = ∫ πΊ (π‘, π , Vπ (π ) , π’π (π )) ππ πΌ and taking limits in the above inequality as π → ∞, we have π₯∗ = π’∗ = V∗ ∈ [π’0 , V0 ], and for any natural number π, we also have π’π ≤ π₯∗ ≤ Vπ , π‘ ∈ πΌ. Then, by the mixed monotone quality of π΄ we have π’π+1 = π΄ (π’π , Vπ ) ≤ π΄ (π₯∗ , π₯∗ ) ≤ π΄ (Vπ , π’π ) = Vπ+1 , ≤ ∫ πΊ (π‘, π , π½π π€π , πΌπ π€π ) ππ ≤ π (π½π , πΌπ ) ∫ πΊ (π‘, π , π€π (π ) , π€π (π )) ππ = π½π+1 π€π+1 . (13) Then, it is easy to show by induction that inequality (11) holds. For inequality (12), by π’π+1 ≤ π€π+1 ≤ Vπ+1 and the above discussion, we have 0 < πΌπ+1 ≤ 1 ≤ π½π+1 . Obviously, it follows from the assumption (π»4 ) that πΌ0 ≤ πΌ1 , π½1 ≤ π½0 . Suppose that πΌπ−1 ≤ πΌπ , π½π ≤ π½π−1 , so it is easy to show by (π»3 ) that π (πΌπ−1 , π½π−1 ) ≤ π (πΌπ , π½π ) , π (π½π , πΌπ ) ≤ π (π½π−1 , πΌπ−1 ) , (14) that is, πΌπ ≤ πΌπ+1 , π½π+1 ≤ π½π . Then, it is easy to show by induction that inequality (12) holds. Then, it follows from the inequality (12) that there exist limits of the sequences {πΌπ }, {π½π }. Suppose that there exist πΌ, π½ such that πΌπ → πΌ, π½π → π½, and π → ∞, and by (π»3 ), we also have 0 ≤ π½π − πΌπ = π (π½π−1 , πΌπ−1 ) − π (πΌπ−1 , π½π−1 ) ≤ π (π½π−1 − πΌπ−1 ) ≤ ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ ≤ ππ (π½0 − πΌ0 ) , (15) they 0 < π < 1, and taking limits in the above inequality as π → ∞, we have πΌ = π½. Next, we will show that the sequences {π’π }, {Vπ } are all Cauchy sequences on π·. In fact, by (10) and (11), for any natural number π, we know that π ≤ π’π+π − π’π ≤ Vπ − π’π ≤ (π½π − πΌπ ) π’0 , π ≤ Vπ − Vπ+π ≤ Vπ − π’π ≤ (π½π − πΌπ ) π’0 . (16) π₯∗ = π΄ (π₯∗ , π₯∗ ) , (21) that is, π₯∗ ∈ [π’0 , V0 ] is the fixed point of π΄; thus, π₯∗ is the solution of (1) on π· = [π’0 , V0 ]. Furthermore, we will show that the solution is unique. Suppose that π¦∗ ∈ [π’0 , V0 ] satisfy π¦∗ = π΄(π¦∗ , π¦∗ ). Then, by the mixed monotone quality of π΄ and induction, for any natural number π, it is easy to have that π’π ≤ π¦∗ ≤ Vπ . Then, by the normality of ππΌ and taking limits in the above inequality as π → ∞ and the above discussion, we have π¦∗ = π₯∗ . For any initial π₯0 , π¦0 ∈ [π’0 , V0 ], by (7) and (8), the mixed monotone quality of π΄ and induction, for any natural number π, we have π’π (π‘) ≤ π₯π (π‘) ≤ Vπ (π‘), π’π (π‘) ≤ π¦π (π‘) ≤ Vπ (π‘), π‘ ∈ πΌ.

Theorem 5. Let π be a normal cone of πΈ, let π’0 , V0 ∈ ππΌ be coupled lower and upper quasi-solutions of (1). Assume that conditions (π»1 ), (π»2 ), and (π»3 ) hold. (π»4σΈ ) πΊ is π’0 quasi-upper, and there exists π€0 ∈ ππΌ such that π€0 < π’0 < V0 , and there exist πΌ0 = sup{πΌ > 0 : π’0 ≥ πΌπ€0 }, π½0 = inf{π½ > 0 : V0 ≤ π½π€0 }. Then, (1) has a unique solution π₯∗ (π‘) ∈ π· = [π’0 , V0 ], and for any initial π₯0 , π¦0 ∈ [π’0 , V0 ], one has π¦π (π‘) σ³¨→ π₯∗ (π‘) , uniformly on π‘ ∈ πΌ as π σ³¨→ ∞, (17) where ππ is a normal constant. So {π’π }, {Vπ } are all Cauchy sequences on π·, and then there exists π’∗ , V∗ ∈ [π’0 , V0 ] such that limπ → ∞ π’π = π’∗ , limπ → ∞ Vπ = V∗ . (22) Thus, the sequence {π₯π (π‘)}, {π¦π (π‘)} all converges uniformly to π₯∗ (π‘) on π‘ ∈ πΌ. This completes the proof of Theorem 4. π₯π (π‘) σ³¨→ π₯∗ (π‘) , By the normality of ππΌ and (15), we have σ΅© σ΅©σ΅© σ΅©σ΅©π’π+π − π’π σ΅©σ΅©σ΅© ≤ ππ ππ (π½0 − πΌ0 ) σ΅©σ΅©σ΅©σ΅©π’0 σ΅©σ΅©σ΅©σ΅©πΆ, σ΅©πΆ σ΅© σ΅©σ΅© σ΅©σ΅© σ΅©σ΅©Vπ − Vπ+π σ΅©σ΅© ≤ ππ ππ (π½0 − πΌ0 ) σ΅©σ΅©σ΅©σ΅©π’0 σ΅©σ΅©σ΅©σ΅©πΆ, σ΅©πΆ σ΅© (20) and taking limits in above inequality as π → ∞, we know that πΌ πΌ (19) (23) where {π₯π (π‘)}, {π¦π (π‘)} are defined as π₯π (π‘) = ∫ πΊ (π‘, π , π₯π−1 (π ) , π¦π−1 (π )) ππ , πΌ π¦π (π‘) = ∫ πΊ (π‘, π , π¦π−1 (π ) , π₯π−1 (π )) ππ , πΌ (24) π‘ ∈ πΌ. 4 Discrete Dynamics in Nature and Society Proof. We first define the operator π΄ : [π’0 , V0 ] × [π’0 , V0 ] → πΆ[πΌ, πΈ] by the formula π΄ (π’, V) = ∫ πΊ (π‘, π , π’ (π ) , V (π )) ππ . πΌ (8σΈ ) It follows from the assumption (π»2 ) that π΄ is a mixed monotone operator, that is, π΄(π’, V) is nondecreasing in π’ ∈ [π’0 , V0 ] and nonincreasing in V ∈ [π’0 , V0 ] and π’0 ≤ π΄(π’0 , V0 ), π΄(V0 , π’0 ) ≤ V0 . By (7), we have π₯π (π‘) = π΄(π₯π−1 (π‘), π¦π−1 (π‘)), π¦π (π‘) = π΄(π¦π−1 (π‘), π₯π−1 (π‘)) and set π€π (π‘) = π΄(π€π−1 (π‘), π€π−1 (π‘)), and we also define π’π (π‘) = π΄ (π’π−1 (π‘) , Vπ−1 (π‘)) , Vπ (π‘) = π΄ (Vπ−1 (π‘) , π’π−1 (π‘)) . (25) Since π΄ is a mixed monotone operator, it is easy to see that π’0 ≤ π’1 ≤ ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ ≤ π’π ≤ ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ ≤ Vπ ≤ ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ ≤ V1 ≤ V0 . (10σΈ ) Suppose that for π − 1 we have π’π−1 ≥ πΌπ−1 π€π−1 , Vπ−1 ≤ π½π−1 π€π−1 , and πΌπ−2 ≤ πΌπ−1 ≤ π½π−1 ≤ π½π−2 . Then, for π + 1, by the assumption (π»3 ), we have π’π = π΄ (π’π−1 , Vπ−1 ) = ∫ πΊ (π‘, π , π’π−1 (π ) , Vπ−1 (π )) ππ πΌ ≥ ∫ πΊ (π‘, π , πΌπ−1 π€π−1 , π½π−1 π€π−1 ) ππ πΌ ≥ π (πΌπ−1 , π½π−1 ) ∫ πΊ (π‘, π , π€π−1 (π ) , π€π−1 (π )) ππ = πΌπ π€π , πΌ Vπ = π΄ (Vπ−1 , π’π−1 ) = ∫ πΊ (π‘, π , Vπ−1 (π ) , π’π−1 (π )) ππ πΌ ≤ ∫ πΊ (π‘, π , π½π−1 π€π−1 , πΌπ−1 π€π−1 ) ππ πΌ ≤ π (π½π−1 , πΌπ−1 ) ∫ πΊ (π‘, π , π€π−1 (π ) , π€π−1 (π )) ππ = π½π π€π . πΌ (30) Because πΊ is π’0 quasi-upper and π€0 < π’0 , we have By the above two inequalities and assumption (π»3 ), we have π€1 (π‘) = π΄ (π€0 (π‘) , π€0 (π‘)) = ∫ πΊ (π‘, π , π€0 (π ) , π€0 (π )) ππ < π’0 . (26) πΌ = π (π½π−1 , πΌπ−1 ) ≤ π (π½π−2 , πΌπ−2 ) = π½π−1 . So for any natural number π, by induction, we know that π€π (π‘) = π΄(π€π−1 (π‘), π€π−1 (π‘)) < π’0 . It is easy to see by induction that π’π ≥ πΌπ π€π , Vπ ≤ π½π π€π , π0 ≤ π1 ≤ ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ ≤ ππ ≤ ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ ≤ ππ ≤ ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ ≤ π1 ≤ π0 , (11σΈ ) (12σΈ ) where πΌπ = π(πΌπ−1 , π½π−1 ), π½π = π(π½π−1 , πΌπ−1 ), π = 1, 2, . . .. In fact, by the assumptions (π»1 ) and (π»3 ) and the above discussion, as π = 0, we have π’1 = π΄ (π’0 , V0 ) = ∫ πΊ (π‘, π , π’0 (π ) , V0 (π )) ππ πΌ ≥ ∫ πΊ (π‘, π , πΌ0 π€0 , π½0 π€0 ) ππ πΌ (27) πΌ Then, it is easy to show by induction that inequalities (11σΈ ) and (12σΈ ) hold. The following proof is similar to that of Theorem 4. This completes the proof of Theorem 5. By a similar argument to that of Theorem 5, we obtain the following results. Theorem 6. Let π be a normal cone of πΈ, and let π’0 , V0 ∈ ππΌ be coupled lower and upper quasi-solutions of (1). Assume that condition (π»1 ), (π»2 ), and (π»3 ) hold. (π»4σΈ σΈ ) πΊ is V0 quasi-lower, and there exists π€0 ∈ ππΌ such that π’0 < V0 < π€0 , and there exist πΌ0 = sup{πΌ > 0 : π’0 ≥ πΌπ€0 }, π½0 = inf{π½ > 0 : V0 ≤ π½π€0 }. π₯π (π‘) σ³¨→ π₯∗ (π‘) , V1 = π΄ (V0 , π’0 ) = ∫ πΊ (π‘, π , V0 (π ) , π’0 (π )) ππ πΌ πΌ (31) Then, (1) has a unique solution π₯∗ (π‘) ∈ π· = [π’0 , V0 ], and for any initial π₯0 , π¦0 ∈ [π’0 , V0 ], one has ≥ π (πΌ0 , π½0 ) ∫ πΊ (π‘, π , π€0 (π ) , π€0 (π )) ππ = πΌ1 π€1 , ≤ ∫ πΊ (π‘, π , π½0 π€0 , πΌ0 π€0 ) ππ πΌπ−1 = π (πΌπ−2 , π½π−2 ) ≤ π (πΌπ−1 , π½π−1 ) = πΌπ ≤ π½π (28) π¦π (π‘) σ³¨→ π₯∗ (π‘), uniformly on π‘ ∈ πΌ as π σ³¨→ ∞, (32) where {π₯π (π‘)}, {π¦π (π‘)} are defined as ≤ π (π½0 , πΌ0 ) ∫ πΊ (π‘, π , π€0 (π ) , π€0 (π )) ππ = π½1 π€1 . πΌ By the above two inequalities and assumption (π»3 ), we have π0 ≤ πΌ1 = π (πΌ0 , π½0 ) ≤ π (π½0 , πΌ0 ) = π½1 ≤ π0 .

Applications Consider the following two-point BVP in the Banach space: −π’σΈ σΈ = π (π‘, π’) , π‘ ∈ π½ = [0, 1] , π’ (0) = π’ (1) = 0, (34) Obviously, by assumption (πΆ3 ), we can get that β πΏ 1 β≤ maxπ‘∈πΌ (π‘(1 − π‘)/2) ∫π½ π(π )ππ = (1/8) ∫π½ π(π )ππ < 1, then the equation (πΌ − πΏ 1 )π’ = π₯0 has a unique solution ∞ −1 π’0 (π‘) = (πΌ − πΏ 1 ) π₯0 = ∑ πΏπ1 π₯0 ∈ ππΌ . (40) π=0 where π ∈ πΆ[π½ × π, π], π is a cone in a real Banach space πΈ. Suppose that there exists a mapping π ∈ πΆ[π½ × π × π, π] such that π(π‘, π₯) = π(π‘, π₯, π₯), and that π satisfies the following conditions: (πΆ1 ) π is uniformly continuous on π½ × π × π, and πΊ is π convex and −π concave quasi operator, (πΆ2 ) π(π‘, π₯, π¦) is nondecreasing in π₯ ∈ π for fixed (π‘, π¦) ∈ π½×π, and π(π‘, π₯, π¦) is nonincreasing in π¦ ∈ π, for fixed (π‘, π₯) ∈ π½ × π, Similarly, the equation (πΌ − πΏ 2 )V = π¦0 has a unique solution π‘ ∈ π½, π₯, π¦ ∈ π.

If assumption (πΆ3 ) holds, then there exists π’0 , V0 ∈ πΆ[π½, π] such that π’0 (π‘) ≤ ∫ β (π‘, π ) π (π , π’0 (π ) , V0 (π )) ππ , π½ π‘ ∈ π½, (38) V0 (π‘) ≥ ∫ β (π‘, π ) π (π , V0 (π ) , π’0 (π )) ππ , π½ π½ = πΏ 2 V0 (π‘) + π¦0 (π‘) = V0 (π‘) , that is, (38) holds. Theorem 8. Let π be a normal cone of πΈ. Assume that (πΆ1 ) and (πΆ3 ) hold, where β (π‘, π ) = { ≤ ∫ β (π‘, π ) (π (π ) V0 (π ) + π (π )) ππ π‘ ∈ π½. (πΆ4 ) there exists π€0 ∈ ππΌ and π’0 , V0 in (38) of Lemma 7 such that π’0 < π€0 < V0 , and also there exists πΌ0 , π½0 ∈ (0, ∞) such that π’0 ≥ πΌ0 π€0 , π½0 π€0 ≥ V0 , (πΆ5 ) π(πΌ, π½), π(πΌ, π½) are all increasing in πΌ, decreasing in π½ and π(πΌ0 , π½0 ) ≥ πΌ0 , π(π½0 , πΌ0 ) ≤ π½0 , for πΌ, π½ ∈ [πΌ0 , π½0 ], πΌ < π½, π (π½, πΌ) − π (πΌ, π½) ≤ π (π½ − πΌ) , 0 < π < 1. (43) Then, (34) has a unique solution π₯∗ (π‘) ∈ π· = [π’0 , V0 ], and for any initial π₯0 , π¦0 ∈ [π’0 , V0 ], one has Proof. In fact, let π₯π (π‘) σ³¨→ π₯∗ (π‘) , πΏ 1 π’ (π‘) = ∫ β (π‘, π ) π (π ) π’ (π ) ππ , π½ π₯0 (π‘) = ∫ β (π‘, π ) π (π ) ππ , π½ uniformly on π‘ ∈ πΌ π‘ ∈ π½, (39) πΏ 2 V (π‘) = ∫ β (π‘, π ) π (π ) V (π ) ππ , π½ π¦0 (π‘) = ∫ β (π‘, π ) π (π ) ππ , π½ π‘ ∈ π½. π¦π (π‘) σ³¨→ π₯∗ (π‘) , as π σ³¨→ ∞, (44) where {π₯π (π‘)}, {π¦π (π‘)} are defined as π₯π (π‘) = ∫ β (π‘, π ) π (π , π₯π−1 (π ) , π¦π−1 (π )) ππ , π½ π¦π (π‘) = ∫ β (π‘, π ) π (π , π¦π−1 (π ) , π₯π−1 (π )) ππ , π½ (45) π‘ ∈ π½. 6 Discrete Dynamics in Nature and Society Proof. It is easy to see by conditions (πΆ1 ) and (πΆ2 ) that πΊ(π‘, π , π₯, π¦) = β(π‘, π )π(π , π₯, π¦) satisfy the conditions (π»1 ) and (π»2 ) of Theorem 4. By (πΆ3 ) and (38), we have π’0 , V0 ∈ πΆ[πΌ, π] as coupled lower and upper quasi-solutions of (34). Thus, the assumption (π»1 )–(π»4 ) of Theorem 4 is satisfied from the assumption (πΆ1 )–(πΆ5 ) of Theorem 8. The conclusion of Theorem 8 follows from Theorem 4. Example 9. In fact, we can construct the function π(π‘, π₯) in Theorem 8. π (πΌ, π½) = sin πΌ + π‘ ∈ [0, 1] , 1 , 2π½ (46) then (47) (48) Thus, πΊ is π convex and −π concave quasi operator and thus satisfies (πΆ1 ). It is easy to check that π(π‘, π₯, π¦) is nondecreasing in π₯ for fixed (π‘, π¦) and is nonincreasing in π¦ for fixed (π‘, π₯) and thus satisfies (πΆ2 ). There exist π(π‘) = π‘/2, π(π‘) = π‘/100, π(π‘) = 2π‘, and π(π‘) = 1000π‘ satisfying 1 0 1 1 1 ∫ π‘ ππ‘ = < 8, 2 0 4 1 1 0 0 (49) ∫ π (π ) ππ = 2 ∫ π ππ = 1 < 8, such that π (π‘) π₯ + π (π‘) ≤ π (π‘, π₯, π¦) ≤ π (π‘) π₯ + π (π‘) .
