Fredholm Integral Equation of the Second Kind

An integral equation of the form

The solution to a general Fredholm integral equation of the second kind is called an integral equation Neumann series. A Fredholm integral equation of the second kind with separable integral kernel may be solved as follows:

where

Now multiply both sides of ( by

and integrate over

!y ( " the first term is #ust

. Now define

so ( becomes

$riting this in matri% form"

so
