Volterra and Fredholm integral equations in locally convex spaces, and leader-type contractions in gauge spaces (Q6143124)

The author introduces a new method concerning studies of quadratic, quadratic fractional, linear and nonlinear integral equations of Volterra- and Fredholm-type in various spaces. It seems that the introduced method for studying this kind of equations in locally convex spaces with approximation procedures is new, general, optimal and precise, and also different from those methods known in the literature. The provided examples illustrate chosen aspects of author's method. The main used tools are based on variants of general and stronger periodic point, fixed point and approximation theorems concerning not necessarily continuous dynamical systems in not necessarily sequentially complete or separable gauge spaces.
