Volterra integral and differential equations. 2nd ed. (English) Zbl 1075.45001

Mathematics in Science and Engineering 202. Amsterdam: Elsevier (ISBN 0-444-51786-3/hbk). x, 353 p. (2005).
[For the first edition (1983) see Zbl 0515.45001.]
This is the second edition of the author’s book on Volterra integral and differential equations. The main approach is to consider those Volterra equations that can be treated as perturbations of ordinary differential equations and there is a very strong emphasis on Lyapunov functions.
Chapter 1 gives a gentle introduction to the subject and discusses integral equations reducible to ordinary differential equations. In chapter 2 linear equations are studied and various stability concepts introduced. In chapter 3 the basic existence, uniqueness and continuation results are established and chapter 4 treats the history and motivating examples of the theory. In chapters 5 and 6 Lyapunov’s method is used to derive results about stability, instability and boundedness of the solutions. Chapter 7 which is to a large part new in this edition considers the theory of resolvents and chapter 8 is a treatment of functional differential equations.
