Existence of monotone solutions for a nonlinear quadratic integral equation of Volterra type (Q2478065)

A sufficient condition for the existence of monotone solutions of the following nonlinear quadratic integral equation of Volterra type \[ x(t)= a(t)+ g(x(t)) \int_0^t v(t,s,x(s))\, \quad\text{for all }t\in[0,T], \] is established. The approach is based on Darbo's fixed point theorem and the measure of noncompactness introduced by \textit{J. Banaś} and \textit{L. Olszowy} [in Ann. Soc. Math. Pol., Ser. I, Commentat. Math. 41, 13--23 (2001; Zbl 0999.47041)].
