G. F. Drukarev has given a method for solving the Fredholm
equations which arise in the study of collisions between electrons
and atoms. He transforms the Fredholm equations into Volterra
equations plus finite algebraic systems. H. Brysk observes that
Drukarev's method applies generally to a Fredholm integral equation
(I-λ G)u...
In 1964, Zarantonello published a constructive method for
the solution of certain nonlinear problems in a Hilbert space. We
extend the method in various directions including a generalization
to a Banach space setting. A revealing geometric interpretation of
the method yields guidelines for the analysis.
