Extract

This paper concerns the existence and uniqueness of non-negative solutions of non-linear Volterra integral equations of the type

and

where the kernel function k(.,.) is non-negative and sufficiently smooth, and either 0 < p < 1 or – 1 < p < 1. We will consider also the corresponding Fredholm equations

and
