This unique monograph investigates the theory and applications of Volterra integro-differential equations. Whilst covering the basic theory behind these equations it also studies their qualitative properties and discusses a large number of applications. This comprehensive work presents a unified framework to investigate the fundamental existence of theory, treats stability theory in terms of Lyapunov functions and functionals, develops the theory of integro-differential equations with impulse effects, and deals with linear evolution equations in abstract spaces. Various applications of integro-differential equations, such as population dynamics, nuclear reactors, viscoelasticity, wave propagation and engineering systems, are discussed, making this book indispensable for mathematicians and engineers alike.

A classic work by the mathematician who developed the general theory of functions that depend on a continuous set of values of another function, this volume deals primarily with integral equations.

This collection of 24 papers, which encompasses the construction and the qualitative as well as quantitative properties of solutions of Volterra, Fredholm, delay, impulse integral and integro-differential equations in various spaces on bounded as well as unbounded intervals, will conduce and spur further research in this direction.

A self-contained account of integro-differential equations of the Barbashin type and partial integral operators. It presents the basic theory of Barbashin equations in spaces of continuous or measurable functions, including existence, uniqueness, stability and perturbation results. The theory and applications of partial integral operators and linear and nonlinear equations is discussed. Topics range from abstract functional-analytic approaches to specific uses in continuum mechanics and engineering.

The book deals with linear integral equations, that is, equations involving an unknown function which appears under the integral sign and contains topics such as Abel's integral equation, Volterra integral equations, Fredholm integral integral equations, singular and nonlinear integral equations, orthogonal systems of functions, Green's function as a symmetric kernel of the integral equations.

In this book, exercises are carried out regarding the following mathematical topics: solving integral equations solving integral-differential equations calculus of variations Initial theoretical hints are also presented to make the conduct of the exercises understandable.

In the last century many problems which arose in the science, engineer ing and technology literature involved nonlinear complex phenomena. In many situations these natural phenomena give rise to (i). ordinary differ ential equations which are singular in the independent and/or dependent variables together with initial and boundary conditions, and (ii). Volterra and Fredholm type integral equations. As one might expect general exis tence results were difficult to establish for the problems which arose. Indeed until the early 1990's only very special examples were examined and these examples were usually tackled using some special device, which was usually only applicable to the particular problem under investigation. However in the 1990's new results in inequality and fixed point theory were used to present a very general existence theory for singular problems. This mono graph presents an up to date account of the literature on singular problems. One of our aims also is to present recent theory on singular differential and integral equations to a new and wider audience. The book presents a compact, thorough, and self-contained account for singular problems. An important feature of this book is that we illustrate how easily the theory can be applied to discuss many real world examples of current interest. In Chapter 1 we study differential equations which are singular in the independent variable. We begin with some standard notation in Section 1. 2 and introduce LP-Caratheodory functions. Some fixed point theorems, the Arzela- Ascoli theorem and Banach's theorem are also stated here.
