Abstract

We investigate the existence of continuous solutions on compact intervals of some nonlinear integral equations. The existence of such solutions is based on some well-known fixed point theorems in Banach spaces such as Schaefer fixed point theorem, Schauder fixed point theorem, and Leray-Schauder principle. A special interest is devoted to the study of nonlinear Volterra equations and to the numerical treatment of these equations.
