reciprocal kernels

Two functions and of real variables (or, in general, of points and of a Euclidean space), defined on the square and satisfying the condition

If a kernel reciprocal with exists, then is the resolvent kernel of the integral Fredholm equation

(*)


Comments

Indeed, when and are reciprocal kernels, the solution of equation (*) above is given by

Consider the Fredholm equation

(a1)

and the iterated kernels ,

Form the Neumann series

If is continuous on , this series is uniformly convergent for small. Then satisfies

and

solves (a1).

The terminology "mutual kernels" and "reciprocal kernels" is rarely used.
