Asymptotics of the solutions of integral equations with a difference kernel (Q794231)

\textit{S. Karlin} [Pac. J. Math. 5, 229-257 (1955; Zbl 0067.349)] considered equations of the form \[ (1)\quad u(\xi)-\int^{\infty}_{- \infty}u(\xi -t)dF(t)=g(\xi),\quad -\infty<t<\infty, \] where F(t) is a probability distribution function which is not of lattice type and one has proved a theorem on the convergence rate of the remainder term in the asymptotic expansion \[ u(\xi)=(\int^{\infty}_{- \infty}g(t)dt/m)\sigma(\xi)+\omega(\xi), \] where \[ \sigma(\xi)= \begin{cases} 1,\quad \xi \geq 0,\\ 0,\quad \xi<0.\end{cases} \] It is proved by \textit{J. J. Levin} and \textit{J. A. Nohel} [J. Math. Mech. 9, 347-368 (1960; Zbl 0094.085)] that one encounters equations of type (1) in which function F(t) is not monotone. In connection with this, there arises the problem of generalizing Karlin's result to the case when F(t) is a function of bounded variation. In this paper, for equations of the form \((2)\quad \int^{\infty}_{- \infty}x(t-\xi)dA(\xi)=f(t), -\infty<t<\infty\), where \(A(\xi)\) is a function of bounded variation, one obtains estimates for the remainder term \(\eta(t)\) in the asymptotic expansions \(x(t)=\sum^{n}_{k=1}\gamma_ ke^{i\lambda_ kt}+\eta(t),\quad - \infty<t<\infty,\) where \(\eta(t)\to 0\), \(t\to \infty\), while \(\gamma_ k\) are constants.
