[For the entire collection see Zbl 0697.00019.] Consider a Banach space \((B,\|\cdot\|)\) and a partially ordered set \(V\) with minimal element 0 and maximal element 1. Suppose that to each \(v\in V\) there corresponds a linear bounded projector \(P^ v:B\to B\) such that \(P^ 0x=0\), \(P^ 1x=X\) for each \(x\in B\) and \(P^ vP^ u=P^ uP^ v=P^ v\) if \(v=u\). An operator \(F:B\to B\) is said to be a \({\mathcal B}\)-Volterra operator iff for each \(x\in B\) and \(v\in V\) we have \(P^ vFx=P^ vFP^ vx\). A set \(M\subset B\) is said to have the \({\mathcal B}\)-property iff there exists \(V_ 0\subset V\), \(V_ 0\) a linear ordered set, such that for each \(v\in V\) and each \(\varepsilon>0\), there exists an interval \(i\subset V\) with \(v\in i\), and for each \(u\in i\) we have \(\sup_{x\in M}\|(P^ v-P^ u)x\|<\varepsilon\). A continuous operator \(F:B\to B\) is said to be \({\mathcal B}\)-enhancing iff \(F\) transforms bounded sets in \(B\) into sets in \(B\) having the \({\mathcal B}\)-property. The author enounces four results without proofs and gives four examples, concerning \({\mathcal B}\)-Volterra \({\mathcal B}\)-enhancing linear operators. The spectral radius of a linear \({\mathcal B}\)-Volterra \({\mathcal B}\)-enhancing operator is null. If \(K\) and \(S\) are linear \({\mathcal B}\)-Volterra operators from \(B\) to \(B\), \(K\) is there \({\mathcal B}\)-enhancing operator and the spectral radius of \(S\) is less than 1, then the equation \(x=Kx+Sx+f\) has a unique solution \(x\) for each \(f\in B\) and the operator \((I-S-K)\) is a \({\mathcal B}\)-Volterra operator (\(I\) is the identity operator on \(B)\). The last two results are concerning the existence of solutions of the problem \(({\mathcal L}u)(t,s)=f(t,s)\), \((t,s)\in[a,b]\times[c,d]\); \(f\in L([a,b]\times[c,d])\); \(u_ t(t,c)=\alpha(t)\), \(t\in[a,b]\), \(\alpha\in L([a,b])\); \(u_ s(a,s)=\beta(s)\), \(s\in[c,d]\), \(\beta\in L([c,d])\); \(u(a,c)=\gamma\in R\). The operator \({\mathcal L}\) applies a linear space \(W\) (defined in the paper) into the space \(L\) of Lebesgue integrable functions.
