Nekrasov integral equation

From Encyclopedia of Mathematics
Jump to: navigation, search

A non-linear integral equation of the form

$$\phi(x)=\lambda\int\limits_a^b[\phi(y)+R(\lambda,y,\phi(y))]K(x,y)\,dy,\label{*}\tag{*}$$

where $R$ and $K$ are known functions, $K$ being symmetric, $\phi$ is the unknown function, and $\lambda$ is a numerical parameter. Integral equations of this type were obtained by A.I. Nekrasov (see [1]) in the solution of problems arising in the theory of waves on the surface of a fluid. Under certain conditions Nekrasov has constructed a solution of \eqref{*} in the form of a series in powers of a small parameter; its convergence has been proved by the method of majorants.

Sometimes an equation of the type \eqref{*} is called a Hammerstein equation, although Nekrasov [2] published his investigations before A. Hammerstein [3].
