Asymptotic behavior of singular values of convolution operators (Q1820951)

The authors consider an operator equation of the form \[ \bar K\cdot =\int^{x}_{0}k(x-y)\cdot dy,\quad 0\leq x\leq 1 \] with \(K(u)=u^ nk(u)\), \(0\leq u\leq 1\) and \(k(u)\in c^ n[0,1]\) and k(0)\(\neq 0\). Asymptotic estimates of singular values are obtained by showing that the singular values of K(u) and those \(k(0)u^ n\) differ little for large indices.
