Pictorial representation for antisymmetric eigenfunctions of PS-3 integral equations (Q430008)

``Traditionally, integral equations are the subject of functional analysis and operator theory. In the contrast we show that methods of complex geometry and combinatorics are efficient for the study of the following singular integral Poincare-Steklov (briefly, PS) equations \[ \lambda \;V.p. \int_I \frac{u(t)}{t-x}dt - V.p.\int_I\frac{u(t) d R(t)}{R(t) - R(x)} = \text{const}, \quad x\in I = (-1, 1)." \] The author investigates the case when \(R\) is a rational function of degree \(3\) with certain restrictions and gives explicit solutions. Investigations of the PS-equation by different methods has already been made by the author in earlier articles.
