Abstract: Firstly, we construct kernels of integral relations among solutions of the confluent Heun equation (CHE) and its limit, the reduced CHE (RCHE). In both cases we generate additional kernels by systematically applying substitutions of variables. Secondly, we establish integral relations between known solutions of the CHE that are power series and solutions that are series of special functions; and similarly for solutions of the RCHE. Thirdly, by using one of the integral relations as an integral transformation we obtain a new series solution of the spheroidal wave equation. From this solution we construct new solutions of the general CHE, and show that these are suitable for solving the radial part of the two-center problem in quantum mechanics. Finally, by applying a limiting process to kernels for the CHEs we obtain kernels for {two} double-confluent Heun equations. As a result, we deal with kernels of four equations of the Heun family, each equation presenting a distinct structure of singularities. In addition, we find that the known kernels for the Mathieu equation are special instances of kernels of the RCHE.
