Integral Equations Author:B. L. Moiseiwitsch The integral equation approach to solving problems specifically includes the boundary conditions--a valuable advantage. It also leads naturally to the solution of the problem (under suitable conditions) in the form of an infinite series. Geared toward upper-level undergraduate students, this text focuses chiefly upon linear integral equations.

The treatment becomes gradually more abstract, with discussions of Hilbert space and linear operators, the resolvent, Fredholm theory, and the Hilbert-Schmidt theory of linear operators in Hilbert space. 1977 ed.« less
