Positive fixed points for a class of nonlinear operators and applications

In this paper, we study the existence and uniqueness of positive solutions for a class of nonlinear operator equations on ordered Banach spaces. Various applications are also considered to illustrate our obtained results (existence of solutions to quadratic integral equations with a linear modification of the argument, positive solution of second-order Neumann boundary value problem, and positive definite solutions of a class of nonlinear matrix equations).
