On existence and asymptotic stability of solutions of a nonlinear integral equation.
(English)
[J] J. Math. Anal. Appl. 284, No.1, 165-173 (2003). ISSN 0022-247X

The authors prove an existence theorem for a nonlinear Volterra integral equation of a special type arising in traffic theory:$$x(t)= f(t, x(t)) \int^1_0 u(t, s,x(s)) ds,\quad t\in t\in [0,1].\tag 1$$ It is an example of a quadratic integral equation. Using measures of noncompactness, the authors show that (1) has continuous and bounded solutions on $[0,\infty)$. Fixed points results are used. Furthermore, for suitable measure of noncompactness the authors prove that those solutions are asymptotically stable in some sense defined in the paper.
