Review text

The author investigates integral equations of the form \[ \int_{\mathbb{R}^n} k(x,y)u(y) dy=w(y),\;x\in\mathbb{R}^n,\;n\geq 1, \] where \(k(x,y)\) is a complex-valued kernel defined on \(\mathbb{R}^n\times \mathbb{R}^n\), which can be represented by the formula \[ k(x,y)= \int_B\varphi (p,q)\exp \bigl\{i\langle p,x \rangle+ i\langle q,y\rangle \bigr\}dpdq, \] with \(B\) a subset of \(\mathbb{R}^n\times \mathbb{R}^n\) and \(\varphi(p,q)\) a complex-valued continuous function on \(\mathbb{R}^n \times \mathbb{R}^n\), such that \(\varphi (p,q)\in L_1(B)\). Conditions are provided for \(p,q\), and \(\varphi\), as well as on the set \(B\), such that the considered equation has at most one continuous solution. Special cases of the above are also examined, in case of analytic solutions. The equation of the first kind, considered above, can be reduced to an integral equation of the third kind, when \(k(x,y)= k_0(x-y)+ k_1(x,y)\), with \(k_0\in L_2(\mathbb{R}^n)\) and \(k_1\in L_1(\mathbb{R}^n) \times L_2(\mathbb{R}^n)\). Some examples are indicated.
