Abstract.   The convergence of a Presic type k-step iterative method for a new class of operators f : Xk ® X satisfying a general Presic type contraction condition is proved. Our result is completing an existing list of Presic type iteration methods, see [Rus I. A., An iterative method for the solution of the equation x = f(x, . . . ,x), Rev. Anal. Numer. Theor. Approx., 10(1) (1981), 95-100] and the recent [Ciric L. B., Presic S. B., On Presic type generalization of the Banach contraction mapping principle, Acta Math. Univ. Comenianae, 76(2) (2007), 143-147], having significant potential applications in the study of nonlinear difference equations.


Keywords:  fixed point approximation; k-step iteration procedure; Presic type contraction condition; Kannan type operator; rate of convergence; data dependence; nonlinear difference equation.
