A fixed point theorem in ordered spaces and a recently proved monotone convergence theorem are applied to derive existence and comparison results for solutions of a functional integral equation of Volterra type and a functional impulsive Cauchy problem in an ordered Banach space. A novel feature is that equations contain locally Henstock-Kurzweil integrable functions.
In ordered Banach algebras, we introduce eventually and asymptotically positive elements. We give conditions for the following spectral properties: the spectral radius belongs to the spectrum (Perron--Frobenius property); the spectral radius is the only element in the peripheral spectrum; there are positive (approximate) eigenvectors for the spectral radius. Recently such types of results have been shown for operators on Banach lattices. Our results can be viewed as a complement, since our structural...
