The generalized quasilinearization for integro-differential equations of Volterra type on time scales (Q2477994)

The author investigates the following first order integro-differential equation of Volterra type \[ x^\Delta(t) = f\Big(t,x(t),\int_0^t k(t,s)x(s)\Delta\,s \Big), \quad x(0) = x_0 \] on a time scale. The symbol \(\Delta\) refers to generalized differentiation resp. integration on time scales (arbitrary nonempty closed subsets of the reals). By the quasilinearization method, based on the idea of convergence of monotone sequences, it is shown that the above ivp has a unique solution.
