Solvability of fractional integral equations on an unbounded interval through the theory of Volterra-Stieltjes integral equations (Q2448599)

The following nonlinear quadratic Volterra-Stieltjes integral equation is investigated \[ x(t)=f_1(t,x(t))+f_2(t,x(t))\int\limits_{0}^{t}u(t,\tau,(Tx)(\tau))d_{\tau}g(t,\tau), \quad t\geq 0, \] with the solutions from the space \(BC(\mathbb{R}+)\). The existence of solutions in the space of real functions being continuous and bounded on the interval of nonnegative numbers is studied. Moreover, is also investigated the solvability of the equation in question in the classes of functions being asymptotically stable or having limits at infinity, for example. The main tool used in considerations is the technique of measures of noncompactness constructed in a special way. It is shown that results obtained in the paper are applicable to the class of fractional integral equations and Volterra-Chandrasekhar integral equations, among others.
