A note on scalar Volterra integral equations. II (Q1078464): Difference between revisions

This publication is a continuation of the article [Trans. Am. Math. Soc. 291, 319-336 (1985; Zbl 0579.45004)] by the same author. It discusses the equation \[ u(t)+\int^{t}_{0}g(t,s,u(s))ds=f(t),\quad 0\leq t\leq T, \] and gives two types of results. The first class of results assumes that the term g(t,t,u(t)) in the differentiated equation \[ u'(t)+g(t,t,u(t))+\int^{t}_{0}g_ t(t,s,u(s))ds=f'(t) \] dominates the integral term, and gives estimates on \(\int^{T}_{0}| u'(t)| dt.\) The second class of results says that under appropriate assumptions, if we have two solutions \(u_ 1\) and \(u_ 2\) corresponding to the right hand sides \(f_ 1\) and \(f_ 2\), and if \(f_ 1(0)\leq f_ 2(0)\), \(f_ 1'(t)\leq f_ 2'(t)\), \(0\leq t\leq T\), then \(x_ 1(t)\leq x_ 2(t)\), \(0\leq t\leq T\).
