Fredholm Integral Equation - Equation of The Second Kind

Equation of The Second Kind

An inhomogeneous Fredholm equation of the second kind is given as

Given the kernel K(t,s), and the function, the problem is typically to find the function . A standard approach to solving this is to use the resolvent formalism; written as a series, the solution is known as the Liouville-Neumann series.
