A function that is formed from the given kernel of an integral operator (cf. Kernel of an integral operator)

by the recurrence relations

is called the -th iterate, or -th iterated kernel, of . An iterated kernel is sometimes called a repeated kernel. If is a continuous or square-integrable kernel, then all its iterates are continuous, respectively, square integrable. If is a symmetric kernel, so are all its iterates. The kernel is the kernel of the operator . The equality

holds.
