Abstract

The spaces and were defined in ((Hüseynov (1981)), pages 271–277). Some singular integral operators on Banach spaces were examined, (Dostanic (2012)), (Dunford (1988), pages 2419–2426 and (Plamenevskiy (1965)). The solutions of some singular Fredholm integral equations were given in (Babolian (2011), Okayama (2010), and Thomas (1981)) by numerical methods. In this paper, we define the sets and by taking an arbitrary Banach space instead of , and we show that these sets which are different from the spaces given in (Dunford (1988)) and (Plamenevskiy (1965)) are Banach spaces with the norms and . Besides, the bounded linear integral operators on the spaces and , some of which are singular, are derived, and the solutions of the linear Fredholm integral equations of the form and are investigated in these spaces by analytical methods.

1. Preliminaries, Background, and Notation

The approximate solution of the singular integral equation was obtained in [1], where is a real-valued kernel, is a given function, and is the unknown function.

High-order numerical methods for the singular Fredholm integral equations of the form: were developed, where and are given functions, and is the unknown function. Equations of this form often arise in practical applications such as Dirichlet problems, mathematical problems of radiative equilibrium, and radiative heat transfer problems, [2].

The polar kernel of integral equations was introduced in [3, 4]. This singular kernel is in the following form: where the first term of this kernel is weakly singular and and are bounded on the square and . With , we have the special case of the above kernel: see [5]. One of the weakly singular integral and integrodifferential equations with this kernel was given in [68]. The solution of the singular integral equation of the form: was examined in [5] by numerical methods, where and are given functions and is the unknown function to be determined.

The integral operator defined by was studied in [9].

An integral equation of the form: is called Fredholm integral equation of the second type. Here, is a given interval, is a function on which is unknown, and is a parameter. The kernel of the equation is a given function on the square and is a given function on .

2.1. The Spaces and

In this section, we determine essentially the spaces and .

Theorem 11. Let be a real or complex Banach space with the norm , be real numbers with , and be a nonnegative constant. Then the set of all functions satisfying the inequalities for all with is a linear space with the usual algebraic operations addition and scalar multiplication defined by and is a Banach space with the norm where and are defined by

Proof. Let be a Banach space with the norm . It is known that the set is a linear space with operations in . Also, it is obvious that . On the other hand, since is a linear space.
Furthermore, is a normed space with the norm . Indeed, consider the following. (N1) It is clear that for all . (N2) If and , then for all , since So . On the other hand, if , it is found that by (30), (31) and (32). Hence, the proposition “ if and only if ” is true.(N3) Let . Since by (31) and (32),  (N4) If , by (31) and by (32). Hence, From the inequality which holds for all real numbers , we obtain .
As a result, is a normed space with the norm .
The space is a Banach space with respect to . To see this we consider an arbitrary Cauchy sequence in , and we show that converges to a function . Since is Cauchy, for every , there exists such that So from (41), where By (42), while or , we have for all . We see by (44) that is Cauchy in . Since is complete, there exists a unique such that The limit depends on the choice of . This defines a function: where Now, we want to show that and . By (48), the continuity of the norm gives together with (44) and (45) that for all with such that or . Since for all by (49) and (50), we derive . Furthermore, since is bounded, there exists the nonnegative constant such that which yields for all . Thus, it is obtained by (51) that for all with and . By (52) and (49), By (53) and (50), for all and . Therefore, we obtain from (54) and (55) that there exists the nonnegative constant such that Hence, . This step completes the proof.

Thus, since the equalities: hold, there exists the nonnegative constant by (28) that the inequalities: hold from (67) and (68), respectively. By (69), we have Hence, the function is continuous at the arbitrary point which means that it is continuous on .

(2) If , then , and since for all , we have . That is, (88) is obtained from (87). Besides,(i) if , then (91) is derived from (86) and (90).(ii) If , since , we get by taking instead of in (86). Let Since , (91) is derived from (90). By and , we show that (88) and (91) hold. Therefore, and So, Lemma 18 holds for all .

2.2. Some Bounded Linear Integral Operators on the Spaces and

Hereafter, by , we mean the constant defined by (79), and, by the integral of the Banach valued functions, we mean the Bochner integral unless stated otherwise.

Theorem 20. Let be a real or complex Banach algebra with the norm and such that . Then, given by is a linear operator from into , and, also, is bounded with where

Proof. The function given by is continuous for each . Therefore, the function is strongly measurable by Theorem 4, and, hence, the function is Lebesgue measurable from Theorem 5. Since Lebesgue integral exists, and, so, Bochner integral in (124) exists by Theorem 8. Now, by taking , we get from (128). Let define for all and . Since we have So, we obtain which yields where . Since , it is found by (129) and (135) that Hence, by (136), and That is, is bounded by (137) and Clearly, is linear. So, .

By Lemma 18, we have that and Also, we derive by Theorem 19 that and from (117), and so Since by (146), the inverse operator exists and the norm of satisfies the inequality: from Theorem 10. So, (144) has a unique solution in the space such that and this also completes the proof of the second part.
The proof of the first and third parts of Theorem can be completed by the similar way to that of the second part, using Lemma 18, Theorem 19, (111), Lemma 18, Theorem 19, and (123), respectively.

Theorem 22. Let be a real or complex Banach algebra. Then Fredholm integral equation of the form has a unique solution in with where , is the constant given in Theorem 20, that is, and is a real or complex parameter fulfilling

From the inequality which is satisfied for all , we get , and, thus, . Hence, From and (187), it is obtained that By (178), (186), and (189), we have such that
Furthermore, since we can write Thus, since and for all . Besides, by and (194), we get
Since for all , the inequality holds, and, so, By and (195), we obtain from (197). Then, Also, we have since . Therefore, we get by (195) that since which implies that for all . So, Since and which yields for all , we obtain from (195). Hence, By (192), Since and which imply that and for all , it is found that By and (207), Since and , which yields for all , we get By and (211),
Since for all , we derive By and (214),
So, we derive from (213) and (216). Since and , which implies for all ,
Since for all , By equations (219) and (220), it is obtained that By (222),
Since and which yield and , By and (224), Thus, by taking we obtain from (203), (205), (209), (217), (223), (226). By (196), (199), and (228), we find such that By (190) and (229), with which terminates the proof.
