Nonlinear integral equations singular in the dependent variable (Q2470347)

This paper concerns the existence of nonnegative solutions to the singular integral equation \(y(t)=\int^1_0 k(t,s)[G(s,y(s))+F(s,y(s))]ds\) \((t\in [0,1])\), where \(G\in C([0,1]\times (0,\infty),[0,\infty))\), \(F\in C([0,1]\times [0,\infty),[0,\infty))\) so \(G\) may be singular at \(y=0\). By using a well-known existence principle based on the Leray-Schauder alternative, the authors present a general existence result, which improves essentially the result of \textit{R. P. Agarwal} and \textit{D. O'Regan} [ZAMM, Z. Angew. Math. Mech. 81, No. 7, 499--504 (2001; Zbl 0988.45005)].
