The paper deals with the (vector) linear integral equation \[ x(t)= \int^t_0 K(t-s)x(s)ds+ f(t) \] on \([0,\infty)\), where \(x\) and \(f\) are complex vector-valued functions and \(K\) is a matrix kernel, the entries of which are absolutely integrable functions on \([0,\infty)\). The resolvent kernel \(R(t)\) is uniquely determined by the equation \(R=K+K*R\). If \(\widehat K(z)\) denotes the Laplace transform of \(K\), then in case \(\widehat K(z)-I\) has only a finite number of zeros of arbitrary multiplicities in the half-plane \(\text{Re} z\geq 0\), the resolvent can be represented by \(R(t)=R_0 (t)+Q(t)+ Q(t)* R_0(t)\), with \(Q(t)\) a quasipolynomial the exponents of which are the zeros of \(\widehat K(z)-I\), while \(R_0\in L_1(0,\infty)\). One more assumption must hold, related to those zeros with null real part. The case of integrodifferential equations \[ x'(t)= Ax(t)+ \int^t_0 K(t-s)x(s) ds+f(t) \] is also discussed.
