Initial value problem for first-order integro-differential equation of Volterra type on time scales (Q707030)

The authors combine the monotone iterative technique with fixed point theory to prove the existence of extremal solutions to the following integro-differential equation \[ x^{\Delta}=f\left(t,x,\int_{0}^{t}k(t,s)x(s)\Delta s\right), \quad t\in J:=[0,a] \] \[ x(0)=0, \] where \(f:J\times \mathbb R\times \mathbb R\to \mathbb R\) and \(k: J\times J\to \mathbb R.\)
