Abstract

Existence and uniqueness results for the integro-differential equation

u_{1} (x, t) - a u_{xx} (x, t) = c (x, t) u (x, t) + \int_{0}^{1} k (s, x) h (s, t, u (s, t)) d s + f (x, t) ((x, t) \in Q)

subject to the boundary condition

u (x, t) = φ (x, t) ((x, t) \in R)

and, especially, for the linear case $h (s, t, u) = u$ are given. To this end, this equation is written as operator equation in a suitable Hölder space. The main tools are the calculation of the spectral radius in the linear case, and fixed point principles in the nonlinear case.
