Integral equations
 Any equation where an unknown function, to be
  determined appears under one or more integral
  signs it can be called an integral equation. (if the
  derivatives of the function are involved it is
  called an integro -differential equation)
 The actual development of the theory of integral
  equations began only at the end of the Integral
  functions are such where unknown is only
  outside the integral sign

Classification of integral equations
Limits of the integration fixed:           Fredholm
One limit not fixed:                       Volterra
Unkonwn function only inside integral: first kind
Also outside integral:                     second kind
Known function f(x)=0 for all x:           homogeneous
f(x) 0 for some x:
     inhomogeneous
Not all integral equations can be classified with the
 above.

Integral functions
 When differential equations are solved,
  integration is the final step. Sometimes
  there is no analytical solution to the
  integral. In those cases the solution is given
  in terms of integral functions
                                                         x
                                                 2
  Error function                  erf x                      exp t 2 dt
                                                         0
  Solution of diffusion equation
  Probability theory (cumulative normal distribution)
                                                                          6
Some integral functions
Gamma function
 Generalization of factorial n!    x        t x 1e t dt
                                         0

Incomplete gamma
  function                          x,               t x 1e t dt
 Some bubble breakage models                    0

                                             /2
                                                            d
Complete elliptic integral         Kk
 Pendulum movement                          0        1 k 2 sin 2

There are solution methods (series solution
etc.) for these integrals. They are also widely
tabulated                                                           7
Distributions
                                                         y


   fs             y s, L g L dL
              0

This is a Fredholm equation of the first kind:
                                                                                L
                  b
    f x               K x, t   t dt
                  a

Notation does not matter, important is to identify what is the unknown or
known function, distributed property etc.
s x, y K, g      ,L t


                                                                            8
