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.
