 Fredholm, Erik Ivar   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
Fredholm was born in Stockholm and studied at the Polytechnic Institute there, and at the University of Uppsala.
Fredholm founded much of his theory on work carried out by US astronomer George Hill (1838-1914), who used linear equations involving determinants of an infinite number of rows and columns.
In Fredholm's paper Sur une nouvelle méthode pour la résolution du problème de Dirichlet 1900, he first developed the essential part of the theory of what is now known as Fredholm's integral equation; further, he went on to define and solve the Fredholm equation of the second type, involving a definite integral.

Such equations are called Fredholm equations of the second kind.
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.
In this course integral operators will be called upon to solve differential equations, and this is one of their main uses.

This is a homogeneous Fredholm integral equation of the second kind.
This integral eigenvalue problem can be solved analytically for a class of correlation functions (R(t,s)) defined on simple domains, such as a line, square, etc. A Galerkin procedure can be used to compute the eigenparameters numerically if an analytical solution is not possible.

If one wants to obtain a high order convergence of a numerical method for these equations one has to take into account, in some way, the singular behavior of the exact solution.

Since the Greens function $g_0(x,t)$ exists, we know that \eq L^*v = g \quad, \quad B^*\bar{v} = 0 \endeq is equivalent to the integral equation \eq v(x)+ \int_a^b a_0(x) g_0(t,x) v(t) dt = G(x) = \int_a^b g(t) g_0(t,x) dt \endeq The result follows for $g=0$.
