Bounded and Periodic Solutions of Integral Equations

In this paper we introduce a new method for obtaining boundedness of solutions of integral equations. From the integral equation we form an integrodifferential equation by computing x’ + kx to which we apply a Liapunov functional. This can be far more effective than the usual technique of differentiating the equation. The qualitative properties derived from that equation are then transferred to a majorizing function for the integral equation. Schaefer’s fixed point theorem is used to conclude that there is a periodic solution. Three kinds of integral equations are studied and they are shown to be related through two examples.
