TLDR
In this paper, an integro-differential equation (IDE) on a finite closed interval is studied, and sufficient conditions for the Cauchy problem to be solvable for arbitrary right-hand sides.
Abstract
In this paper we study an ordinary second-order integro-differential equation (IDE) on a finite closed interval. We demonstrate the equivalence of this equation to a certain integral equation, and deduce that the homogeneous IDE may have either 2 or 3 linearly independent solutions, depending on the value of a parameter λ. We study a Cauchy problem for the IDE, both by this integral equation approach and by an independent approach, based on the perturbation theory for linear operators. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for the Cauchy problem to be solvable for arbitrary right-hand sides—these conditions again depend on λ—and specify the behaviour of the IDE when these conditions are not satisfied. At the end of the paper some examples are given of the type of behaviour described.

Positivity of solutions of elliptic equations with nonlocal terms

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied a nonlocal problem for a second-order partial differential equation which depends on a parameter n, and proved the existence of critical values 0 and 0 > such that for all ≦∆≦ and for all non-negative right-hand sides, their problem has nonnegative solutions.

One-dimensional Perturbations, Asymptotic Expansions, and Spectral Gaps

TL;DR: In this article, the spectral properties of the self-adjoint extension A(τ) of S can be determined via the analytic properties of Weyl function (Q-function) Qτ(z) corresponding to S and A(t), and conversely, local analogs of the Kac-Donoghue classes of Nevanlinna functions are introduced.

One-dimensional perturbations of selfadjoint operators with finite or discrete spectrum

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the asymptotic behaviour of eigenvalues under rank one perturbations when such perturbation become infinitely large, and they used extension theory and associated Q-functions to study the properties of selfadjoint limiting functions under such large perturbs.
