A faster iterative method for solving nonlinear third-order BVPs based on Green’s function

Abstract

In this article, we propose an iterative method, called the GA iterative method, to approximate the fixed points of generalized α-nonexpansive mappings in uniformly convex Banach spaces. Further, we obtain some convergence results of the new iterative method. Also, we provide a nontrivial example of a generalized α-nonexpansive mapping and with the example, we carry out a numeral experiment to show that our new iterative algorithm is more efficient than some existing iterative methods. Again, we present an interesting strategy based on the GA iterative method to solve nonlinear third-order boundary value problems (BVPs). For this, we derive a sequence named the GA–Green iterative method and show that the sequence converges strongly to the fixed point of an integral operator. Finally, the approximation of the solution for a nonlinear integrodifferential equation via our new iterative method is considered. We present some illustrative examples to validate our main results in the application sections of this article. Our results are a generalization and an extension of several prominent results of many well-known authors in the literature.
