Abstract
A new generalized Yosida inclusion problem, involving -relaxed co-accretive mapping, is introduced. The resolvent and associated generalized Yosida approximation operator is construed and a few of its characteristics are discussed. The existence result is quantified in q-uniformly smooth Banach spaces. A four-step iterative scheme is proposed and its convergence analysis is discussed. Our theoretical assertions are illustrated by a numerical example. In addition, we confirm that the developed method is almost stable for contractions. Further, an equivalent generalized resolvent equation problem is established. Finally, by utilizing the Yosida inclusion problem, we investigate a resolvent equation problem and by employing our proposed method, a Volterra–Fredholm integral equation is examined.

1. Introduction
The investigation of variational inequality theory began in the mid-1960s, by Hartman and Stampacchia [1]. This theory was designed to execute some complicated problems in mathematical programming, partial differential equations, and mechanics. These developments brought about a commonly acceptable format for modeling mathematical problems arising in pure and applied sciences. Due to its indispensable role and application oriented features, this theory is investigated and analyzed rather well in diverse directions; see [2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9] and references therein.
One of the most innovative and unified generalizations is reported in [10]. Let be a real Hilbert space; and are single-valued and set-valued mappings, respectively. The problem of variational inclusion is to investigate , such that
where represents the zero vector in . If , then the relation (1) coincides with the generalized equation presented by Robinson [11]. If , then (1) coincides with the variational inclusion due to Rockafellar [12]. It is worth mentioning that variational inclusion provides an appropriate substructure to study optimization and related problems, see [13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20]. The technique of resolvent is an effective tool to explore variational inclusions. Resolvent and Yosida approximation operators play a salient role in many problems that arise in pure and applied analysis, particularly in partial differential equations and convex analysis, see, for example [21,22,23,24,25,26,27].
On the contrary, the central goal is to seek approximate solutions to these problems. One of the best approaches for dealing with variational inclusions and Yosida inclusions, is resolvent operator and its alternative forms, including resolvent equations, because these techniques yield an equivalent fixed point formulation, which plays a vital role in constructing and outlining fixed point iterative procedures for solving Yosida inclusions and problems related to optimization. Mann-like iterative algorithms, and their alternative forms, are fundamental tools among fixed point algorithms for exploring nonlinear problems. To date, numerous iterative methods have been constituted to analyze approximate solutions of nonlinear problems; see for examples [28,29,30,31,32,33].
Motivated by the important facts mentioned above, we study the generalized Yosida inclusion problem and corresponding generalized resolvent equation. We define a resolvent and associated generalized Yosida approximation operator for -relaxed co-accretive mapping. Some characteristics of the generalized Yosida approximation operator are discussed. An existence result for a generalized Yosida inclusion problem is also proved. A four-step iterative algorithm is proposed and its convergence analysis is presented. It is also presented that the proposed scheme is almost stable for a contraction mapping. Further, a generalized resolvent equation, corresponding to the generalized Yosida inclusion problem, is presented and an equivalence between these is established. Finally, we define an iterative scheme and discuss the convergence criterion of the developed scheme, to examine the generalized resolvent equation. Our obtained results and convergence are verified by a numerical illustration.

4.3. Stability Result
In dealing with real world problems, we take into consideration an approximate sequence, say , in lieu of an actual sequence , for rounding the errors of approximating functions. An iterative method is known as -stable if converges to the fixed point of . Ostrowski [36] coined the concept of stability for a fixed point iterative scheme for the first time.
Definition 7
([36]). Let be an approximate sequence in a Banach space . For some function Γ, an iterative sequence converging to is known to be Φ-stable, if for , we have .
The concept of almost stability, which is a weaker concept of stability, was defined by Osilike as follows:

([37]). Let be an approximate sequence in a Banach space . For some function Γ, the iterative sequence converging to is known to be almost Φ-stable, if for , we have .
Clearly, any -stable iterative method is almost -stable, but the converse statement is not true in general, see [37].
To prove the stability of iterative procedure, we present the following lemma of essence.

6. Concluding Remarks
A new Yosida inclusion problem, involving -relaxed co-accretive mapping, called the generalized Yosida inclusion problem has been developed. The existence of a solution for generalized Yosida inclusion, using the technique of resolvent, is investigated. A four-step iterative scheme is proposed and its convergence analysis is discussed. In addition, the stability of the proposed scheme has been reported. An equivalence of the generalized Yosida inclusion to analogous generalized resolvent equation has been established. The convergence of the developed scheme has been analyzed to investigate the generalized resolvent equation. Theoretical results are exemplified. Finally, the generalized resolvent equation is investigated by using the generalized Yosida inclusion problem, and we employed our developed methods to investigate the approximate solution of the Volterra–Fredholm differential equation.
