Invertibility and positive invertibility of Hille-Tamarkin integral operators (Q1857396)

The author considers in the space \(L^p[0,1]\), \(1<p<\infty\), the integral operators \[ K\varphi (x) = \int_0^1 K(x,s) \varphi(s) ds \] with kernels satisfying the Hille-Tamarkin condition \[ M_p(K):=\left[\int_0^1\left(\int_0^1|K(x,s)|^q ds\right)^\frac{p}{q} dx\right]^\frac{1}{p}< \infty, \qquad \frac{1}{p}+\frac{1}{q}=1. \] The main result provides a condition for the operator \(I-K\) to be boundedly invertible in \(L^p\). This condition is \(J_p^+J_p^-< J_p^+ + J_p^-\), where \[ J_p^\pm=\sum_{k=0}^\infty \frac{[M_p(K_\pm)]^k}{\sqrt[p]{k!}} \] and \(K_\pm\) are kernels truncated by zero for \(\pm (x-s)>0\), respectively. The bound for the norm of the inverse operator \((I-K)^{-1}\) is given in terms of the numbers \(J_p^\pm\). Some estimation for the spectral radius is also derived and the invertibility on the cone of non-negative functions in \(L^p\) is considered.
