Dual integral equations of the form

where f(x) and g(x) are given functions, ψ(x) is unknown, k≧0, μ, v and α are real constants, have applications to diffraction theory and also to dynamical problems in elasticity. The special cases v = −μ, α = 0 and v = μ = 0, 0<α2<1 were treated by Ahiezer (1). More recently, equations equivalent to the above were solved by Peters (2) who adapted a method used earlier by Gordon (3) for treating the (extensively studied) case μ = v, k = 0.
