A multiparametric family of solutions to a singular Volterra integral equation in a Banach space (Q646844)

Consider in a Banach space \(E\) the abstract Volterra equation of the first kind \[ \int_0^xK(x,t)u(t)dt=0, \] where \(K\) assumes values in the space of bounded operators of \(E\), and \(u\in L_1([0,\delta],E)\) is unknown. Assume that \(K\) is sufficiently smooth, and that the equation is singular in the sense that \(K\) (and some of its derivatives) vanish at \(x=t=0\). Under some hypotheses of an associated operator pencil, a family of solutions is constructed in an ``explicit'' form (involving explicit singularities and not explicitly known continuous functions). The result is an extension of an earlier result of \textit{I. V. Sapronov} [Russ. Math. 51, No. 11, 44--54 (2007); translation from Izv. Vyssh. Uchebn. Zaved., Mat. 2007, No. 11, 45--55 (2007; Zbl 1298.45004)], treating the case that the associated operator pencil has certain additional characteristic numbers.
