Let X be a uniformly smooth Banach space and let A:D(A)?X→X be a K-positive definite operator with D(A) = D(K) . Then there exists a constant β>0 such that for every x∈D(A) , ||Ax||≤β||Kx||. Furthermore, the operator A is closed, R(A) = A , and the equation Ax =f , for each f∈X, has a uniqne solution. Let {an}n≥0 be a real sequence in [0,1] satisfying conditions; (i)an→0(n→∞); and (ii)∑n=0∞an=∞, . Define the sequence {an}n≥0 iteratively by (?) Then the sequence {an}n≥0 defined by (*) converges strongly to the unique solution of the equation Ax=f in X. |
