  Fredholm biography
He solved his operator equation in the particular cases which arise in the study of the physical problem in his thesis (and in the paper which appeared in 1900 based on that thesis) while the general case was solved by Fredholm somewhat later and not published until 1908.
Fredholm's work on integral equations was met with great interest and boosted the morale and self-respect of Swedish mathematicians who so far had been working under the shadow of the continental cultural empires Germany and France.
Fredholm received many honours for his mathematical contributions, including the V A Wallmarks Prize for the theory of differential equations in 1903, the Poncelet Prize from the French

A linear Fredholm integral equation with a degenerate kernel.
The conditions for solvability of a degenerate integral equation (1) are given by the Fredholm alternative.
The importance of degenerate integral equations in the general theory of Fredholm equations is based on the fact that the solution of any Fredholm equation of the second kind can be approximated by solutions of degenerate integral equations in the mean-square (and certain other) metrics to any degree of accuracy.

 Integral Equations
In their simplest form, integral equations are equations in one variable (say t) that involve an integral over a domain of another variable (s) of the product of a kernel function K(s,t) and another (unknown) function (f(s)).
The integral equation is then reduced to a linear equation with the values of f at the quadrature points being unknown at the outset.
There is a close analogy between Fredholm equations and linear systems of equations; the functions can be viewed as vectors, the integration over the kernel function as a matrix.

is a pole of the resolvent (11) of equation (1h) and an eigen value of this latter equation.
Fredholm extended these theorems to the case of a system of such equations, and also to the case of one class of kernels with a weak singularity (see Integral operator).
These theorems make it possible to prove the Fredholm theorems for an equation (1) in the case of a variety of concrete classes of integral operators (2), for example if the given and desired functions are square-integrable.

 Fredholm integral equation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In mathematics, the Fredholm integral equation is an integral equation whose solution gives rise to Fredholm theory, the study of Fredholm kernels and Fredholm operators.
The general theory underlying the Fredholm equations is known as Fredholm theory.
One of the principal results is that the kernel K is a compact operator, known as the Fredholm operator.

In mathematics, an integral equation is an equation in which an unknown function appears under an integral sign.

This dissertation is an examination of the application of the boundary integral equation method to describe axi-symmetric particle motion in Stokes flow.
The axi-symmetric integral equations are two-dimensional, linear and exhibit a logarithmic singularity via the presence of complete elliptic integrals of the first and second kind.
The first is a theoretical investigation of Fredholm integral equations of the first kind and the second part is a study of numerical techniques to simulate axi-symmetric particle (rigid and drop) dynamics in Stokes flow.

Such equations are called Fredholm equations of the second kind.
It is a historical accident that differential equations were understood before integral equations.
Often an integral equation can be converted into a differential equation or vice versa, so many of the laws of nature which we think of as differential equations might just as well have been developed as integral equations initially.

A computer program for the solution of a Fredholm integral equation of the second kind with a displacement kernel is given.
The Fredholm integral equation is transformed into an initial-value problem by treating the interval length as the independent variable.
The program was used to solve the basic integral equation of radiative transfer, and results were compared with those obtained by Sobolev, by Viskanta, by Bellman, Kagiwada, and Kalaba, and by Heaslet and Warming.

 RAND | Research Memoranda | An Initial-value Method for Fredholm Integral Equations with Degenerate Kernels.
The final step in the mathematical treatment of many problems in such fields as radiative transfer, neutron transport, and optimal filtering theory involves the solution of a Fredholm integral equation in which the kernel is degenerate or can be closely approximated by a degenerate kernel.
The standard procedure for solving such an equation is to convert it into an equivalent matrix equation and compute the solution by evaluating a number of integrals and performing a matrix inversion.
In this study, invariant imbedding techniques are used to convert the Fredholm equation into an initial-value problem, and the troublesome matrix inversion is replaced in this formulation by solving a Riccati system of differential equations.

Applying these corrections to experimental cross sections, the Born cross section can be expressed as follows (this is an expanded form of Equation 2 in EJ95 [27]):
It is noted that dropping the last term, which is reasonable by the approximation above, this takes the particular form of an inhomogenous Fredholm equation of the second kind which unfortunately has a non-symmetric kernel and is hence not amenable to Green function methods of solution [159].

Fredholm integral equations of the first kind arise in the mathematical analysis of many physical problems.
An important characteristic of such problems is that the information which we seek about a physical quantity A can only be obtained indirectly, by measuring some other quantity B which has some connection with A. Often, this connection can be expressed mathematically in terms of a Fredholm first kind integral equation.
The first kind Fredholm integral equations is solved by means of the regularization method of Tihonov and Phillips.

I can not calculate Pi(100000000000000) or any value by myself, because i only know how to solve an integral equation by means of series.
That is a complete misuse of "solved": you have found an expansion (allegedly) in terms of some other sets of functions (I don't recall you posting here the formlae for the set of orthonormal functions).
If you're equation is any good, then use it, go on, demonstrate that you can calculate pi(10,000,000,000) in a reasonalbe number of steps with some accuracy.

 A fredholm integral equation method for scattering phase shifts
A method is presented for obtaining exact scattering phase shifts using an integral equation formulation.
It is similar to recent work by Reinhardt and Szabo but differs in that in the integral equation used, no inherent singularities have to be avoided.
The method has been applied to both the exponential and screened coulomb potentials, and has proved to be complementary to the method of numerically integrating the radial equation-this Fredholm integral method converges more quickly for non-zero angular momentum and/or high impact energies.
