The most robust treatment of the inverse acoustic scattering problem is based on the reversion of the Born-Neumann series solution of the Lippmann-Schwinger equation. An important issue for this approach to inversion is the radius of convergence of the Born-Neumann series for Fredholm integral kernels, and especially for acoustic scattering for which the interaction depends on the square of the...

We revisit the computation of (2-modified) Fredholm determinants for operators with matrix-valued semi-separable integral kernels. The latter occur, for instance, in the form of Green’s functions associated with closed ordinary differential operators on arbitrary intervals on the real line. Our approach determines the (2-modified) Fredholm determinants in terms of solutions of closely associate...

I. Introductory Remarks. My main purpose in this paper is to prove a bifurcation theorem for nontrivial periodic solutions of a general system of Volterra integral equations. The motivation for considering this problem can be found in models which arise in population dynamics, epidemiology and economics [1,3,6], an example of which appears in §5. The approach taken is that which is usually refe...

We consider Volterra and Fredholm integral equations for functions with values in L-spaces. This includes corresponding problems for set-valued functions, fuzzy-valued functions and many others. We prove theorems of existence and uniqueness of the solution for such equations and suggest some algorithms for finding approximate solutions. We get initial results in the approximation of functions w...

The mixed Volterra-Fredholm integral equations (VFIEs) arise in various physical and biological models. The main purpose of this article is to propose and analyze efficient Bernoulli collocation techniques for numerically solving classes of two-dimensional linear and nonlinear mixed VFIEs. The novel aspect of the technique is that it reduces the problem under consideration to a system of algebr...

We present some open problems pertaining to the approximation theory involved in the solution of the Nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equation. For this important equation, any Initial Value Problem (IVP) can be theoretically solved by the Inverse Scattering Transform (IST) technique whose main steps involve the solution of Volterra equations with structured kernels on unbounded domains, the solutio...
