Abstract:
In theorems on the existence of a fixed point of an operator the latter is usually assumed to be continuous. In this paper we prove a theorem with sufficient conditions for the existence of a fixed point of an operator which is not necessarily continuous (possibly it is left-continuous). The obtained theorem with the use of regular cones is applied for proving the existence of a fixed point of a nonliner integral operator. We give an example illustrating the theorem.
Keywords:left-continuous operator, cone in a Banach space, fixed point of an operator.
