Aghajani and M. Aliaskari School of Mathematics, Iran University of Science and Technology, Narmak, Tehran 16846-13114, Iran Received: 2 Nov. 214, Revised: 25 Mar. 215, Accepted: 26 Mar. 215 Published online: 1 May 215 Abstract: In this paper an attempt is made to prove a fixed point theorem for the product of two operators each of which satisfies a special conditions in Banach algebra, using the technique of measure of noncompactness. Also we show that how it can be used to investigate the solvability of integral equations. Keywords: Measure of noncompactness, Fixed point. 1 Introduction It is has been witnessed that the differential and integral equations that appear in many physical problems are generally nonlinear and fixed point theory presents a strong tool for obtaining the solutions of such equations which otherwise are hard to solve by other ordinary procedures for example, see [1,2,3]. In this paper, we analyze solvability of a certain functional-integral equation which consist of many special cases of integral and functional-integral equations, which are applicable in various real world problems of engineering, economics, physics and similar fields see [4, 5]. Indeed, we are going to investigate the solvability of the integral equation xt= T xt ft,xt gt,s,xsds, 1 where t R and T is an operator acting from the Banach algebra BCR consisting of all functions x : R R which are continuous and bounded on R into itself and the functions f, g are continuous and satisfy certain conditions. Eq.1 includes many known integral equations as model cases. In the case T x 1 the equation 1 turns into xt= ft,xt gt, s, xsds, which has been investigated in [6]. What we are going to achieve in this paper, will extend the findings already obtained in [8,9,1,12,14]. The main tool used in our investigation is the technique associated with measure of noncompactness. For a discussion of existence of solution to the above-mentioned integral equation, the used measure of noncompactness must also satisfy an additional condition. Indeed, we will use a class of measures of noncompactness which satisfies a condition calledm. Such a condition will guarantee the solvability of operator equations in Banach algebra. It is worthwhile mentioning that the important measures of noncompactness in notable spaces satisfy condition m see [8,9,1,12,18]. This condition had first been used in for Hausdorff measure of noncompactness in Banach algebra CI consisting of real continuous functions defined on a closed and bounded interval I see [15]. 2 Preliminaries For this reason, suppose that E is a given Banach space which has the norm. and zero element θ. If the closed ball in E is centered at x and has radius r, we show it by Bx,r. In order to show Bθ,r, we write B r. If X is a subset of E, in that case, we can show the closure and the closed convex hull of X with the symbols X and ConvX respectively. Also X Y and λ X λ R are used to show the algebraic operation on sets. Moreover, by the Corresponding author e-mail: aghajani@iust.ac.ir c 215 NSP

Furthermore M E is used to denote the family of all nonempty bounded subsets of E and N E denote its subfamily includes all relatively compact sets. Definition 1[11]. A mapping µ : M E R is said to be measure of noncompactness in E if it is satisfies the following conditions 1The family kerµ = {X M E : µx=} is nonempty and kerµ N E. 2X Y µx µy. 3µX=µX. 4µConvX = µx. 5µλ X1 λy λ µx1 λµy for λ [,1]. 6If X n is a nested sequence of closed sets from M E such that lim n µx n =, then the intersection set X = n=1 X n is nonempty. Observe that the intersection set X from axiom 6 is a member of the kerµ. In fact, since µx µx n for any n, we have that µx =. This yields that X kerµ see [13]. Now suppose Banach space E has the structure of Banach algebra. For given subsets X and Y of a Banach algebra E, let XY ={xy : x X,y Y}. Definition 2.We state that measure of noncompactness µ which has been defined in Banach algebra E satisfies the condition m, if for arbitrary sets X,Y M E, the following inequality is satisfied µxy X µy Y µx. Now we present an example of a measure of noncompactness in Banach algebra which satisfies condition m. Let us consider the Banach space BCR consisting of all functions x : R R which are continuous and bounded on R. This space is endowed with the standard norm x = sup{ xt : t R }. Obviously BCR has also the structure of Banach algebra with the standard multiplication of functions. In addition, fix a set X M BCR and numbers ε > and L >. For an arbitrary function x X let us denote by ω L x,ε the modulus of continuity of x on the interval [,L], i.e. ω L x,ε=sup{ xt xs : t,s [,L],[t s] ε}. In addition ω L X,ε=sup{ωx,ε : x X}, ω L X= lim ωx,ε, ε ω X= lim L ω L X,ε. Moreover, if t R is a fixed number, let us denote Xt={xt : x X}, diamxt= sup{ xt yt : x,y X}, cx=limsupdiamxt. With help of the above mappings we denote the following measures of noncompactness in BCR cf. [16,17] µ c X=ω XcX. 2 Theorem 1.The measure of noncompactness µ c defined by 2 satisfies conditionm on the family of all nonempty and bounded subsets X of Banach algebra BCR such that functions belonging to X are nonnegative onr. Proof.If x,y C[a,b], ε > then for t,s [a,b] such that t s ε, we get xtyt xsys xtyt xtys As a result xtys xsys xt yt ys ys xt xs x ωy,ε y ωx,ε. ωxy,ε x ωy,ε y ωx,ε. So ω X satisfies conditionm. Now, fix arbitrarily sets X;Y M BCR. Choose arbitrary functions z 1,z 2 XY. This means that there exist functions x 1,x 2 X and y 1,y 2 Y such that z 1 = x 1 y 1,z 2 = x 2 y 2. Next, for t R we get z 1 t z 2 t = x 1 ty 1 t x 2 ty 2 t x 1 ty 1 t x 1 ty 2 t x 1 ty 2 t x 2 ty 2 t = x 1 t y 1 t y 2 t y 2 t x 1 t x 2 t X diamyt Y diamxt. Hence we obtain diamxtyt X diamyt Y diamxt and consequently cxy X cy Y cx. So, that the measure of noncompactness µ c satisfies conditionm. In order to achieve the main purpose of this paper, the following theorem plays a crucial role Theorem 2[7]. Let Ω be a bounded, nonempty, convex and closed subset of a Banach space E. Then each continuous and compact map T : Ω Ω has at least one fixed point in the set Ω. Obviously the above formulated theorem constitutes the well know Schauder fixed point principle. c 215 NSP

Theorem 3.Assume that Ω is a nonempty, bounded, closed and convex subset of the Banach algebra E and the operators P and T continuously transform the set Ω into E such that PΩ and TΩ are bounded. Moreover, we assume that the operator S=P.T transform Ω into itself. If the operator P and T on the set Ω satisfy the following conditions { µpx ψ 1 µx, µtx ψ 2 µx, for any nonempty subset X of Ω, where µ is an arbitrary measure of noncompactness satisfying condition m and ψ 1,ψ 2 :R R are nondecreasing functions such that lim n ψ n 1 t=, lim n ψ n 2 t=, lim n PΩ ψ2 TΩ ψ 1 nt=, for any t, then S has at least fixed point in the set Ω. Proof.Let us take an arbitrary nonempty subset X of the set Ω. Then in view of the assumption that µ satisfies conditionm we obtain µsx µpx.tx PX µtx TX µpx PΩ µtx TΩ µpx PΩ ψ 2 µx TΩ ψ 1 µx = PΩ ψ 2 TΩ ψ 1 µx. 3 Now, letting ϕt = PΩ ψ 2 TΩ ψ 1 t, then from??, we have µsx ϕµx. Now, with regard to the fact that ψ 1 and ψ 2 are nondecreasing, we conclude ϕ is nondecreasing and in view of lim n ϕ n t =, we can apply main result in [6], to get the desired result. But for the convenience of the reader, we add the scheme of proof of aforementioned theorem. We define sequence Ω n as Ω = Ω, Ω n = ConvSΩ n 1 for n 1. Furthermore we assume µω n > for all n = 1,2,.... Keeping this condition in mind, we get µω n 1 =µconvsω n = µsω n ϕµω n ϕ 2 µω n 1... ϕ n µω. This showed that µω n as n. Now, we can use axiom 6 of definition of measure of noncompactness and conclude that Ω = n=1 Ω n is nonempty, convex and closed subset of the set Ω. Moreover it is noteworthy that Ω is compact. With regard to the above discussion Schauder fixed point principle guarantees the existence of a fixed point for the operator S. Remark.By letting { ψ 1 t=k 1, k 1 < 1 ψ 2 t=k 2, k 2 < 1 in Theorem 3, we obtain a special case of above theorem which has already been studied in[9, 1, 12, 18], where the application of that special case in the existence of solutions of many integral equation has been investigated. 4 Application In this section we use the main theorem of this paper to prove the solvability of integral equation xt=t xt ft,xt we define Fxt= ft,xt gt,s,xsds, t R, gt,s,xsds, t R where the operator T, F are defined on the Banach algebra BCR. Notice that F represented the so-called Volterra integral operator. Now, we formulate the assumptions under which the equation 1 will be investigated. We will assume the following hypotheses: IT is an operator acting continuously from Banach algebra BCR into itself which satisfies the following condition µ c TX ψ 1 µ c X for any nonempty subset X of Ω in which Ω is a nonempty, bounded, closed and convex subset of the Banach algebra BCR and ψ 1 : R R is a nondecreasing function such that lim n ψ n 1 t = for any t. IIThere exists a constant b such that Tx ψ 1 x b III f :R R is a continuous function. Moreover, t ft, is a member of the space BCR. IVThere exists an upper semicontinuous function ψ 2 : R R is nondecreasing function such that lim n ψ2 n t= for any t, we have that ft,x ft,y ψ 2 x y, t R, x,y R. Moreover, we assume that ψ 2 is superadditive i.e., for each t,s, R,ψ 2 tψ 2 s ψ 2 t s. c 215 NSP

Vg : R R R R is a continuous function and there exist continuous functions c,d : R R such that lim ct dsds= and gt,s,x ctds for t,s R such that s t, and for each x R. VIThe inequality ψ 1 r bψ 2 r q r has a positive solution r in which q is constant and defined as { } q=sup ft, ct dsds} : t. Moreover, the number r is such that ψ2 r qψ 1 ψ 1 r bψ 2 t<t for t R. The following lemma is necessary to prove the theorem 4. Lemma 1[6]. Let ϕ :R R be a nondecreasing and upper semicontinuous function. Then the following two conditions are equivalent 1lim n ϕ n t= for each t. 2ϕt< t for any t >. Theorem 4.Under the assumptions I to V I, the integral equation 1 has at least one solution in the space BCR. Proof.We define the operator A as follows Axt=T xtfxt. With regard to the above assumptions, the functions T x and Fx are continuous functions on R for any x BCR. For an arbitrary fixed function x BCR, we have So, we get Axt = T xt Fxt ψ 1 x b ft,xt ft, ft, gt,s,xs ds ψ 1 x bψ 2 xt ft, gt,s,xs ds ψ 1 x bψ 2 xt ft, ct dsds ψ 1 x bψ 2 xt q. Ax ψ 1 x bψ 2 xt q, in which b and q are constant, defined in assumptionsii, IV. So A maps the space BCR into itself. Moreover based of assumption IV, we conclude that A maps the ball B r into itself in which r is a constant appearing in assumption V I. Now we show that operator A is continuous on the ball B r. To do this, let us first observe that the continuity of the operator T on the ball B r is an easy consequence of the assumptions I, II, V I. Thus, it suffices to show that the operator F is continuous on B r. Fix an arbitrary ε > and x,y B r such that x y ε. So we can conclude Fxt Fyt ψ 2 xt yt where we denoted gt,s,xs gt,s,ys ds ψ 2 xt yt gt, s, xs ds gt, s, ys ds ψ 2 ε2kt, 4 kt=ct dsds. Further, in view of assumption V, we deduce that there exists a number L> such that 2kt = 2ct dsds ε, 5 for each t L. Thus, taking into account Lemma 1 and linking 5 and 4, for an arbitrary t L we get Fxt Fyt 2ε. 6 Now, we define the quantity ω L g,ε as follows ω L g,ε=sup{ gt,s,x gt,s,y : t,s [,L],x,y [ r,r ], x y ε}. Now with regard to the fact that the function gt,s,x is uniformly continuous on the set [,L] [,L] [ r,r ], so lim ε ωl g,ε=. By considering 4 for an arbitrary fixed t [, L], we conclude that L Fxt Fyt ψ 2 ε ω L g,εds = ψ 2 εlω L g,ε. 7 Combining 6 and 7, it is possible to conclude that the operator F is continuous on the ball B r. Now, let X be an arbitrary nonempty subset of the ball B r. Fix numbers ε > and L >. Next, choose t,s [,L] such that t s ε. Without loss of generality, we assume that c 215 NSP

Now with regard to the fact that f is uniformly continuous on the set [,L] [ r,r ] and g is uniformly continuous on the set [,L] [,L] [ r,r ], we can conclude ω1 L f,ε and ωl 1 g,ε as ε. Moreover, since c = ct and d = dt are continuous on R, the quantity sup{csdt : t,s [,L]} is finite. From 8, we conclude ω L FX lim ε ψ 2 ω L X,ε. Now with regard to the fact that ψ 2 is upper semicontinuous, so and so ω L FX ψ 2 ω L X, ω FX ψ 2 ω X. 9 Now we choose two arbitrary functions x,y X. Then for t R we have Fxt Fyt ft,xt ft,yt gt, s, xs ds gt, s, ys ds ψ 2 xt yt 2ct dsds ψ 2 xt yt 2kt. This estimate allows us to get the following one diamfxt ψ 2 diamxt 2kt. Now with regard to the upper semicontinuity of the functions ψ 2 we obtain cfx=limsup diamfxt ψ 2 limsup diamxt = ψ 2 cx. 1 So, combining 9 and 1, we can conclude µ c FX=ω FXcFX or, equivalently = ω FXlimsupdiamFXt ψ 2 ω Xt ψ 2 limsup diamxt ψ 2 ω Xtlimsup diamxt ψ 2 ω XtcX µ c FX ψ 2 µc X, moreover, by considering assumptioni we have µ c T X ψ 1 µc X, in which µ c is the defined measure of noncompactness on the space BCR. Also, we get TB r ψ 1 r b, FB r ψ 2 r q. So, according to assumptionv I, we have FBr ψ 1 T B r ψ 2 t< ψ2 r qψ 1 ψ 1 r bψ 2 t < t for all t R 11 Now, linking 11 and lemma 1 we get nt=. FBr ψ 1 TB r ψ 2 lim n Thus, all the conditions of Theorem 4 hold. Therefore Eq.1 has at least one solution in the space BCR. 5 Example Example 1.Consider the following functional integral equation t 2 xt= 1t 4 ln1 xt se t sinxs 1 cos xs ds t 2 55t 4 ln1 xt se t sinxs 3 cos xs ds, we define T xt= t2 1 t 4 ln1 xt se t sinxs 1 cosxs ds, Fxt= t2 55t 4 ln1 xt se t sinxs 3 cosxs ds. 12 c 215 NSP
98 A. Aghajani, M. Aliaskari: Measure of Noncompactness in Banach Algebra... Now, we show that all the conditions of Theorem 4 are satisfied for the functional integral equation 12. To do so, first we checked out whether condition IV and V are satisfied. Similar fashion, by putting ψ 1 t = 4 1 ln1 t condition I and II satisfied for the operator T, too. Moreover, we put ft,x = t2 ln1 x,gt,s,x = se t sinx 1t 6 1 cosx and ψ 2 t = 1 5 ln1 t. obviously, ψ 2 is nondecreasing and concave onr and ψ 2 t<t for all t >. In addition, for arbitrarily fixed x,y R such that x y and for t > we get ft,x ft,y = 1 t 2 5 22t 4 ln 1 x 1 y 1 5 ln 1 x y 1 y < 1 5 ln 1 x y < 1 4 ln 12 x y = ψ 2 x y. The case y x can be dealt with in the same way. Conditions III of Theorem 4 are clearly evident. In addition, pay close attention that the function g is continuous and maps the set R R R into R. Also, we have gt,s,x e t s for t,s R and x R. So, if we put ct= e t, and ds= s, then we can see that assumption V is satisfied. Indeed, we have lim ct dsds=. Now, let us calculate the constant q which appears in assumption VI. We obtain q=sup{ ft, ct dsds : t } = sup{2t 2 e t/2 : t }=2e 2. Just like the above way checked out condition II, we get b=2e 2 also see [6]. Furthermore, we can check that the inequality from assumptionv I takes the form 1 4 ln1rb 1 5 ln1rq < r. It is obvious that this inequality has a positive solution r, say r = 1. Moreover, we have ψ2 r qψ 1 ψ 1 r bψ 2 t < t for t R. Consequently, all the conditions of Theorem 4 are satisfied. Therefore the functional integral equation 12 has at least one solution in the space BCR. References [1] M.
