Abstract

SummaryThe equations considered are Fredholm integral equations of the second kind with regular kernels, whose argument depends only on the difference of the variables. Approximate solutions are sought for a given finite range of the eigenvalues, and for large values of the range of integration. Certain special conditions are imposed on the general form of the Fourier transforms of the kernel. Then it is shown that approximate solutions may be obtained in terms of the solutions of the corresponding (singular) Wiener-Hopf equations. Approximations to the eigenvalues are also found. It is shown that the eigenfunctions are unique, and that except possibly near the end points of the range, the solutions are of trigonometric type with the zeros of successive solutions interlacing.
