Spectral asymptotic behavior of a class of integral operators

Integral operators of the type $$(Tf)(x) = \int_0^1 {\frac{{x^\beta y^\gamma }}{{(x + y)^\alpha }}} f(y)dy,$$ the kernels of which have a singularity at a single point, are discussed. H. Widom's method and some of his results are used to show that, if α>0, β, γ>?1/2, ρ=β+γ?α+1>0, then we have for the distribution function of the singular numbers of the operator, $$\mathop {\lim }\limits_{\varepsilon \to 0} N(\varepsilon ,T)ln^{ - 2} {\textstyle{1 \over \varepsilon }} = {\textstyle{1 \over {2\pi ^2 \varepsilon }}}.$$
