Fixed Point Theorems for Weak Contractions via λ-Iteration in Cone b-Metric Banach Spaces with Applications
Abstract
We develop fixed point results for weakly contractive mappings in complete cone b-metric Banach spaces. Using a generalized λ-averaged iteration, we derive convergence, uniqueness, and stability under summable perturbations. We also establish an ordered version and give fully proved applications to Hammerstein integral equations and a matrix Lyapunov-type equation. Our results unify and extend Berinde-type weak contractions from (classical) b-metric and cone metric settings to cone b-metric Banach spaces, and clarify optimal choices of λ ensuring geometric convergence.
