On the regularization of a multidimensional integral equation in Lebesgue spaces with variable exponent (Q351660)

The first-kind multidimensional integral equation with potential-type kernel of small order is considered \[ \mathbf{M}^{\alpha}\varphi:=\int_{\mathbb{R}^n} \frac{c(x,y)}{|x-y|^{n-\alpha}}\varphi(y)dy=f(x), \quad x\in\mathbb{R}^n, \tag{1} \] where \(0<\alpha<1\) and the function \(c(x,y)\) satisfies the following conditions: \[ c(x,y)\in C(\mathbb{R}^n\times \mathbb{R}^n),\quad c(x,x)\in L^{\infty}(\mathbb{R}^n), \quad \inf\limits_{x\in\mathbb{R}^n}|c(x,x)|>0; \] \[ |c(x,y)-c(z,y)|\leq \frac{C|x-z|^{\lambda}}{(1+|x|)^{\lambda}(1+|z|)^{\lambda}}, \quad \alpha<\lambda\leq 1, \] where \(C>0\) is independent of \(x,y,z\). The integral equation (1) can be reduced to an equation of the second kind by regularization of the form \(\mathbf{RM}^{\alpha}\varphi=\varphi+\mathbf{A}\varphi\), where \(\mathbf{R}\) is some hypersingular operator, \(\mathbf{A}\) is an operator compact in \(L^p(\mathbb{R}^n)\), \(1<p<n/\alpha\). The authors extend this result to the case of Lebesque spaces \(L^{p(\cdot)}(\mathbb{R}^n)\) with variable exponent.
