This book treats the theory of abstract Volterra equations, that is equations of the form \[ x(t) = \int_0^t f(t,s,x(s)) ds, \] in, e.g., Banach spaces, and in addition it treats a large class of generalizations of this equation. Chapter 1 contains a detailed and carefully written exposition of the mathematical tools used in the book, i.e., compactness and fixed-point theory, measurable functions and ideal spaces (if \(|y(s)|\leq |x(s)|\) a.e., then \(\|y\|\leq \|x\|\)). In Chapter 2 the general existence theory for abstract Volterra equations is presented. Here abstract Volterra operators are defined, using projections with nondecreasing range and a linearly ordered index set, in such a way that they describe systems where the current state does not depend on the ``future. In Chapter 3 the author considers Volterra integral equations in Banach spaces with focus on the existence and uniqueness of solutions. In this chapter a large number of general compactness results are derived. In the last chapter the dependence on parameters is studied in a way that makes it easy to obtain results on ``averaging problems as well.
