Fredholm Integral Equation - Equation of The Second Kind

Equation of The Second Kind

An inhomogeneous Fredholm equation of the second kind is given as

Given the kernel K(t,s), and the function, the problem is typically to find the function . A standard approach to solving this is to use the resolvent formalism; written as a series, the solution is known as the Liouville-Neumann series.

Famous quotes containing the words equation and/or kind:

    A nation fights well in proportion to the amount of men and materials it has. And the other equation is that the individual soldier in that army is a more effective soldier the poorer his standard of living has been in the past.
    Norman Mailer (b. 1923)

    I am the kind of a woman that likes to move on mentally from point to point, and I like for my man to be there way ahead of me. Then if he is strong and honest, it goes on from there. Good looks are not essential, just extra added attraction.
    Zora Neale Hurston (1891–1960)
