On the solvability and numerical methods for solution of linear integro-algebraic equations (Q376212)

The author considers the system of linear-integro-algebraic equations written in the form \[ A(t)x+\int_\alpha^t p(t,s)K(t,s)x(s)ds=f,\quad t\in <\alpha,\beta>, \] where \(A(t)\) and \(K(t,s)\) are \((m\times n)\)-matrices, \(x=x(t)\) is unknown and \(f=f(t)\) a given vector-function. The function \(p(t,s)\) is considered to be either \(p(t,s)=1\) or \(p(t,s)=(t-s)^{-\gamma}\), \(\gamma\in(0,1)\). It is supposed that \(\mathrm{rank} A(t)<\min\{m,n\}\) for every \(t\in <\alpha,\beta>\). Three systems are considered: closed: \(m=n\), overdetermined: \(m>n\), undetermined: \(m<n\). Solvability conditions of the given problem and its numerical solution as well as the convergence of the least squares method with the error functional defined in Sobolev spaces are studied.
