New convolutions and their applicability to integral equations of Wiener-Hopf plus Hankel type

We propose four new convolutions exhibiting convenient factorization properties associated with two finite interval integral transformations of Fourier-type together with their norm inequalities. Moreover, we study the solvability of a class of integral equations of Wiener-Hopf plus Hankel type (on finite intervals) with the help of the factorization identities of such convolutions. Fourier-type series are used to produce the solution formula of such equations, and a Shannon-type sampling formula is also obtained.     

Solvability of vector integro-differential equations of convolution type on the semiaxis

The paper deals with vector integro-differential equation of convolution type that have the form

$ - \frac{{d^2 f_i }}{{dx^2 }} + a_i f_i (x) = g_i (x) + \sum\limits_{j = 1}^N {\int\limits_0^\infty {K_{ij} (x - t)f_j (t)dt, } i = 1,2, \ldots ,N,} $

where \(\vec f\) = (f ₁, f ₂, ..., f _N ) ^T is the unknown vector-function, a _i are nonnegative numbers, \(\vec g\) = (g ₁, g ₂, ..., g _N ) ^T ? L ₁ ^×N (0,+∞) ≡ L ₁ (0,+∞) × ... × L (0,+∞) is the independent term of the equation with nonnegative components and 0 ≤ K _ij ? L ₁ (?∞,+∞), i, j = 1, 2, …,N are the kernel-functions. These equations have significant applications in the wave non-local interaction theory. Using some special factorization methods, solvability of the system is proved in different functional spaces.

     

Constant‐sign solutions for singular systems of Fredholm integral equations

We consider the system of Fredholm integral equations where T>0 is fixed and the nonlinearities H_i(t, u₁, u₂, …, u_n) can be singular at t=0 and u_j=0 where j∈{1, 2, …, n}. Criteria are offered for the existence of constant‐sign solutions, i.e. θ_iu_i(t)≥0 for t∈[0, 1] and 1≤i≤n, where θ_i∈{1,?1} is fixed. We also include an example to illustrate the usefulness of the results obtained. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Constant-sign solutions for systems of singular integral equations of Hammerstein type

We consider the system of Hammerstein integral equations

where T>0 is fixed, ρ_i’s are given functions and the nonlinearities f_i(t,x₁,x₂,…,x_n) can be singular at t=0 and x_j=0 where j{1,2,,n}. Criteria are offered for the existence of constant-sign solutions, i.e., θ_iu_i(t)≥0 for t[0,T] and 1≤i≤n, where θ_i{1,−1} is fixed. The tools used are a nonlinear alternative of Leray–Schauder type, Krasnosel’skii’s fixed point theorem in a cone and Schauder’s fixed point theorem. We also include examples and applications to illustrate the usefulness of the results obtained.

On Urysohn-Volterra fractional quadratic integral equations

In this paper the authors study a fractional quadratic integral equation of Urysohn-Volterra type. They show that the integral equation has at least one monotonic solution in the Banach space of all real functions defined and continuous on the interval $[0,1]$. The main tools in the proof are a fixed point theorem due to Darbo and a monotonicity measure of noncompactness.     

Liouville type theorems for a system of integral equations on upper half space

In this paper,we consider the following system of integral equations on upper half space {u(x) = ∫Rn + (1/|x-y|n-α-1/|-y|n-α) λ1up1(y) + μ1vp2(y) + β1up3(y)vp4(y) dy;v(x) = ∫Rn + (1/|x-y|n-α-1/|-y|n-α)(λ2uq1(y) + μ2vq2(y) + β2uq3(y)vq4(y) dy,where Rn + = {x =(x1,x2,...,xn) ∈ Rn|xn 0}, =(x1,x2,...,xn-1,-xn) is the reflection of the point x about the hyperplane xn= 0,0 α n,λi,μi,βi≥ 0(i = 1,2) are constants,pi≥ 0 and qi≥ 0(i = 1,2,3,4).We prove the nonexistence of positive solutions to the above system with critical and subcritical exponents via moving sphere method.

Existence of positive continuous solutions of perturbed hammerstein equations

We improve previous existence results for a class of perturbed Hammerstein integral equations, where the relevant Hammerstein operator is decreasing on positive functions. We strongly weaken the assumptions on the nonlinearities involved, and obtain existence of positive continuous solutions, even on noncompact domains, applying the Schauder-Tychonoff fixed-point theorem, via the generalized Ascoli theorem and the regularizing effect of the integral operator. An application to perturbed quadratic integral equations of interest in transport theory is also given     

On a class of backward stochastic Volterra integral equations

In this paper, under some restrictions of the time interval, we compare a class of backward stochastic Volterra integral equations with the corresponding simpler one; to be precise, we give the relations between their solutions under global and local Lipschitz conditions on their generator functions. Using these relations, it could be easier to study solutions of more complex equations, where coefficients in backward integrals could be treated as perturbations.     

The solvability of some kinds of singular integral equations of convolution type with variable integral limits

In this paper, we discuss several classes of convolution type singular integral equations with variable integral limits in class $ H^*_1 $. By means of the theory of complex analysis, Fourier analysis and integral transforms, we can transform singular integral equations with variable integral limits into the Riemann boundary value problems with discontinuous coefficients. Under the solvability conditions, the existence and uniqueness of the general solutions can be obtained. Further, we analyze the asymptotic properties of the solutions at the nodes. Our work improves the Noether theory of singular integral equations and boundary value problems, and develops the knowledge architecture of complex analysis.     

Solutions of Volterra integral equations with infinite delay

We present several new existence results for a Volterra integral equation with infinite delay. We discuss periodic and bounded solutions. Sufficient conditions for the existence of positive periodic solutions are also provided. The techniques we employ have not been used for this equation before. Our results generalize and complement those in the literature and several examples are presented to show their applicability. (© 2008 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)     

On global superconvergence of iterated collocation solutions to linear second-kind Volterra integral equations

It is well known that, in contrast to Fredholm integral equations, iterated collocation solutions (based on collocation at the Gauss points) to Volterra integral equations of the second kind exhibit optimal discrete superconvergence only at the mesh points. Here, we show that some degree of global superconvergence is possible on the entire interval.     

Symmetry and regularity of solutions to a system with three-component integral equations

Consider the system with three-component integral equations u(x) = Rn |x y|α nw(y)rv(y)q dy,v(x) = Rn |x y|α nu(y)pw(y)rdy,w(x) = Rn |x y|α nv(y)q u(y)pdy,where 0 < α < n,n is a positive constant,p,q and r satisfy some suitable conditions.It is shown that every positive regular solution(u(x),v(x),w(x)) is radially symmetric and monotonic about some point by developing the moving plane method in an integral form.In addition,the regularity of the solutions is also proved by the contraction mapping principle.The conformal invariant property of the system is also investigated.     

L p solutions of backward stochastic Volterra integral equations

This paper is devoted to the unique solvability of backward stochastic Volterra integral equations (BSVIEs, for short), in terms of both M-solution and the adapted solutions. We prove the existence and uniqueness of M-solutions of BSVIEs in L ^p (1 < p < 2), which extends the existing results on M-solutions. The unique solvability of adapted solutions of BSVIEs in L ^p (p > 1) is also considered, which also generalizes the results in the existing literature.
