Moment Problems and Integral Equations

Abstract

The first part of this work provides explicit solutions for two integral equations; both are solved by means of Fourier transform. In the second part of this paper, sufficient conditions for the existence and uniqueness of the solutions satisfying sandwich constraints for two types of full moment problems are provided. The only given data are the moments of all positive integer orders of the solution and two other linear, not necessarily positive, constraints on it. Under natural assumptions, all the linear solutions are continuous. With their value in the subspace of polynomials being given by the moment conditions, the uniqueness follows. When the involved linear solutions and constraints are positive, the sufficient conditions mentioned above are also necessary. This is achieved in the third part of the paper. All these conditions are written in terms of quadratic expressions.
