Series solutions to linear integral equations
Abstract Linear Volterra-type integral equations with kernels having a series expansion in the first variable have series solutions with coefficients given iteratively. Their resolvents may be expanded likewise. The associated homogeneous equation K f = f generally has Frobenius series solutions when the kernel is singular, whereas K f = 0 generally has such solutions regardless of singularity: the proviso in each case is that associated “indicial equation” has solutions.
