a number of years,
Integral equations have been encountered in mathematics for

originally in the theory of Fourier integrals. One of the first results which
-eonnected to integral equations were the Fourier inversion formulae:
It can be regarded that the relation (2) gives a solution of the integral equation (1),

=[-nro)án,F(a) 0,
known as the Abel's integral equation, where F(Y)is a given continuous function and ¢ (n)
is the unknown function. The time of descent can be computed, if the path is known.
The actual development of the theory of integral equation began only the end of Nineteenth
century due to the works of the Italian mathematician V. Volterra (1896), and principally to
the year 1900, in which the Swedish mathematician I. Fredholm published his work on the
method of solution for the Dirichlet problem.

Here the function o(r) in the equation (1), (2) and (3) is the unknown function while all the
other functions are known. These functions may be complex value functions of the real
variables x and .
iscalled the linear integral equation, where (*) is the unknown function; a (x), F(*) and the
kernel of the integral equation K (x,E)are known function ; is a non-zero real or
complex
parameter, and the integration extends over the domain
2 of the auxiliary variable.
Integral equations, which are linear, involve the integral operator
L-[, K(*,)d
having the kernel K (,E). It satisfies the linearity condition
LGO,(E)+ Cz,(5)]= CL[O,(E)1+ CGL[O>(5))
where LLO)]=|, K(,2)($)dE and C,G are constants.
Linear integral equations are classified into two basic types:
