Introduction In 1998 , Dhage [10] proved the following fixed point theorem involving three operators in a Banach algebra by combining Schauder’s fixed point theorem and Banach’s contraction principle. Theorem Let S be a nonempty, bounded, closed, and convex subset of a Banach algebra X and let A , B , C : S → S be three operators, such that: (i ) A and C are Lipschitzian with Lipschitz constants α and β , respectively, (ii ) ( I−C )−1 A ( I−C ) A exists on B(S), I being the identity operator on X , and the operator ( ) : X → X is defined by I−C x := x−Cx A Ax , (iii ) B is completely continuous, and (iv ) AxBy + Cx ∈ S, ∀ x, y ∈ S . Then the operator equation x = AxBx + Cx has, at least, a solution in S , whenever αM + β 0 , Br denotes the closed ball in X centered at 0X with radius r and D(A) denotes the domain of an operator A . ΩX is the collection of all nonempty bounded subsets of X and Kw is the subset of ΩX consisting of all weakly compact subsets of X . In the remainder, ⇀ denotes the weak convergence and → denotes the strong convergence in X . Recall .
