The sufficient conditions are obtained for the existence and uniqueness of continuous solution to the linear nonclassical Volterraequation that appears in the integral models of developing systems The Volterra integral equations of the first kind with piecewisesmooth kernels are considered Illustrative examples are presented
1 Introduction
Volterra integral equations of the first kind with variableupper and lower limits of integrationwere studied byVolterrahimself [1] The publications on this topic in the first half ofthe 20th century were reviewed in [2] and later studies werediscussed in [3ndash5]
A noticeable impetus to the development of this areais related to the research [6] which suggested a macroe-conomic two-sector integral model The Glushkovrsquos modelsof developing systems were further extended in [7 8] andused in many applications (see [9] and references therein)In particular a one-sector version of the Glushkovrsquos modelapplied to the power engineering problems was considered in[10ndash12] In the recent years the researchers have got attractedby the equation (see [13] and references therein) that in ageneral case has the following form

unknown desired solutionAt 119899 = 1 the problems of the existence and uniqueness
of solution to (1) in the space 119862[0119879]
as well as the numerical
methods are studied in detail in [5] In this paper we will beinterested in the same problems for (1) at 119899 gt 1 Further forsimplicity we will consider only the case 119899 = 2 since manyresults are easily generalized for the case 119899 gt 2

therefore based on (8) inequality
120572119879 |120598| + 120572 |120598| lt 1 minus 120572 (21)
and based on (17) inequality

In [17ndash22] the authors studied the characteristic of con-tinuous solution locality and the role of the Lambert functionas applied to the polynomial (multilinear) Volterra equationsof the first kind The calculations of the test examples showthat the locality feature of the solution to the linear equation(3) is not the result of the inaccuracy of estimates (8) and (17)and reflects the specifics of the considered class of problemsIn this paper we do not dwell on the problem of numericallysolving (3) It is of independent interest and deserves specialconsideration

To illustrate the fundamental difference between (35)(36) and classical Volterra equation of the first kind withsmooth kernel we confine ourselves to (20) that has the formof (35) at
119870 (119905 119904) =
1 120572119905 lt 119904 le 1199051 + 1205982
119904 = 120572119905120598 0 le 119904 lt 120572119905
(37)
where 120598 = 0 1 and 120572 isin (0 1) In particular at 120572 = 12 120598 = minus1
119870 (119905 119904) = sign(119904 minus 1199052) =
1 119904 gt 1199052
0 119904 = 1199052
minus1 119904 lt 1199052
(38)
For this case the solution to (35) with 119910(119905) = 119905 given in[23] is
119909 (119905) = ln 119905ln 2
+ 119909 (119904) (39)
For kernel (38)
119870 (0 0) = 0 119870 (119905 119905) = 0 119905 gt 0 (40)
If119870(119905 119904) is continuous in arguments and continuously differ-entiable with respect to 119905 inΔ then condition (40)means that(35) is Volterra integral equation of the third kind
The theory (whose foundation was laid by Volterra (see[24 pages 104ndash106])) of such equations is developed in theresearch done by Magnitsky [25ndash28]
In particular the author of [25ndash28] studies the structureof one- or many-parameter family of solutions to (35)
If 119870(119905 119904) is discontinuous then the solution to (35) maybe nonunique even if 119870(119905 119905) = 0 forall119905 ge 0
For example if120572 = 12 and 120598 = 1minus(1120572) = minus1 the solutionto equation

is a one-parameter family
119909 (119905) = minus ln 119905ln120572
+ 119909 (1) (42)
but by (37) 119870(0 0) = (1 + 120598)2 = 0 119870(119905 119905) = 1 119905 gt 0
Now we show that there can be a nonunique solution to(35) and (36) even in the case 119870(119905 119905) equiv 1 Let
119870 (119905 119904) = 1 119904 ge 120572119905120598 119904 lt 120572119905
(43)
so that condition119870(119905 119905) equiv 1 is trueWe prove that solutions to (35) (37) and (35) (43)
coincide It suffices to show that the equivalent functionalequations for (35) (37) and (35) (43) coincide Recall that for(35) (37) the equivalent functional equation is (24)
Theorem 3 The equivalent functional equations for (35) (37)and (35) (43) coincide
Proof Let us represent (43) by
119870 (119905 119904) equiv 1 + (120598 minus 1) 119890 (120572119905 minus 119904) (44)
where 119890(sdot)ndash is a Heaviside function

Substitution of (44) in (35) gives

By virtue of (49) we have

(50)
from (48) whence finally
119909 (119905) + 120572 (120598 minus 1) 119909 (120572119905) = 1199101015840 (119905) (51)
and (51) coincides with (24)

Let us illustrate the obtained results with the followingexample
Consider the equation

Here by (5)ndash(7) 119896 = 1 1198722= |120598| 119872

1= 120572 120574
119894= 120573119894= 120572 and 119878 = 1(1 minus 120572)
therefore based on (8) inequality
120572119879 |120598| + 120572 |120598| lt 1 minus 120572 (21)
and based on (17) inequality
120572119879 |1 minus 120598| + 120572 |1 minus 120598| lt 1 (22)
give the following estimates 120598 which guarantee the existenceuniqueness and stability of solution to (20) in the space119862

(23)
It is useful to compare (23) with the estimate obtained byshifting from (20) to the equivalent functional equationDifferentiation of (20) gives
119909 (119905) = 120572 (1 minus 120598) 119909 (120572119905) + 1199101015840 (119905) (24)

Let now

Then according to (24)
119909 (119905) = minus119909 (120572119905) + 1199101015840 (119905) (32)

In conclusion of this section it should be noted thatinequalities (8) and (17) can be interpreted as constraints onthe value 119879 which guarantee at given 119870

2(119905 119904) and
1198861(119905) the correct solvability of (3) in 119862
[0119879] Since all param-
eters in the left-hand side of (8) and (17) are nondecreasingfunctions of119879 and the right-hand side of (8) and (17) at 119871

= 0) on the contrary monotonously decreases then thereal positive root of corresponding nonlinear equation thatgives a guaranteed lower-bound estimate of 119879 exists and isunique if 1198861015840(0) is sufficiently small In some special casesthis root can be found analytically in terms of the Lambertfunction119882 [15 16]
In [17ndash22] the authors studied the characteristic of con-tinuous solution locality and the role of the Lambert functionas applied to the polynomial (multilinear) Volterra equationsof the first kind The calculations of the test examples showthat the locality feature of the solution to the linear equation(3) is not the result of the inaccuracy of estimates (8) and (17)and reflects the specifics of the considered class of problemsIn this paper we do not dwell on the problem of numericallysolving (3) It is of independent interest and deserves specialconsideration

To illustrate the fundamental difference between (35)(36) and classical Volterra equation of the first kind withsmooth kernel we confine ourselves to (20) that has the formof (35) at
119870 (119905 119904) =
1 120572119905 lt 119904 le 1199051 + 1205982
119904 = 120572119905120598 0 le 119904 lt 120572119905
(37)
where 120598 = 0 1 and 120572 isin (0 1) In particular at 120572 = 12 120598 = minus1
119870 (119905 119904) = sign(119904 minus 1199052) =
1 119904 gt 1199052
0 119904 = 1199052
minus1 119904 lt 1199052
(38)
For this case the solution to (35) with 119910(119905) = 119905 given in[23] is
119909 (119905) = ln 119905ln 2
+ 119909 (119904) (39)
For kernel (38)
119870 (0 0) = 0 119870 (119905 119905) = 0 119905 gt 0 (40)
If119870(119905 119904) is continuous in arguments and continuously differ-entiable with respect to 119905 inΔ then condition (40)means that(35) is Volterra integral equation of the third kind
The theory (whose foundation was laid by Volterra (see[24 pages 104ndash106])) of such equations is developed in theresearch done by Magnitsky [25ndash28]
In particular the author of [25ndash28] studies the structureof one- or many-parameter family of solutions to (35)
If 119870(119905 119904) is discontinuous then the solution to (35) maybe nonunique even if 119870(119905 119905) = 0 forall119905 ge 0
For example if120572 = 12 and 120598 = 1minus(1120572) = minus1 the solutionto equation

is a one-parameter family
119909 (119905) = minus ln 119905ln120572
+ 119909 (1) (42)
but by (37) 119870(0 0) = (1 + 120598)2 = 0 119870(119905 119905) = 1 119905 gt 0
Now we show that there can be a nonunique solution to(35) and (36) even in the case 119870(119905 119905) equiv 1 Let
119870 (119905 119904) = 1 119904 ge 120572119905120598 119904 lt 120572119905
(43)
so that condition119870(119905 119905) equiv 1 is trueWe prove that solutions to (35) (37) and (35) (43)
coincide It suffices to show that the equivalent functionalequations for (35) (37) and (35) (43) coincide Recall that for(35) (37) the equivalent functional equation is (24)
Theorem 3 The equivalent functional equations for (35) (37)and (35) (43) coincide
Proof Let us represent (43) by
119870 (119905 119904) equiv 1 + (120598 minus 1) 119890 (120572119905 minus 119904) (44)
where 119890(sdot)ndash is a Heaviside function

It is easy to see that this solution is

Proof With obvious changes repeat the proof of Theorem 1
Let us illustrate the obtained results with the followingexample
Consider the equation

Here by (5)ndash(7) 119896 = 1 1198722= |120598| 119872

1(119879) = 120572119879 119860
1= 120572 120574
119894= 120573119894= 120572 and 119878 = 1(1 minus 120572)
therefore based on (8) inequality
120572119879 |120598| + 120572 |120598| lt 1 minus 120572 (21)
and based on (17) inequality
120572119879 |1 minus 120598| + 120572 |1 minus 120598| lt 1 (22)
give the following estimates 120598 which guarantee the existenceuniqueness and stability of solution to (20) in the space119862

(23)
It is useful to compare (23) with the estimate obtained byshifting from (20) to the equivalent functional equationDifferentiation of (20) gives
119909 (119905) = 120572 (1 minus 120598) 119909 (120572119905) + 1199101015840 (119905) (24)

provides convergence of series (25) to continuous function119909(119905) on [0 119879]
If in (20)
120598 = 1 minus 1120572 (27)
then condition (26) is violated Then it is easy to see that thehomogeneous equation

is a one-parameter family
119909 (119905) = minus ln 119905ln120572
+ 119909 (1) (30)
Let now
120598 = 1 + 1120572 (31)
Then according to (24)
119909 (119905) = minus119909 (120572119905) + 1199101015840 (119905) (32)

so that for the right-hand side of (20) 119910(119905) = 119910(119905) = 119905119896119896119896 = 1 2 3 from (33) we obtain

1 + 120572119896minus1 119896 = 1 2 (34)
In conclusion of this section it should be noted thatinequalities (8) and (17) can be interpreted as constraints onthe value 119879 which guarantee at given 119870

2(119905 119904) and
1198861(119905) the correct solvability of (3) in 119862
[0119879] Since all param-
eters in the left-hand side of (8) and (17) are nondecreasingfunctions of119879 and the right-hand side of (8) and (17) at 119871
1= 0
(1
= 0) on the contrary monotonously decreases then thereal positive root of corresponding nonlinear equation thatgives a guaranteed lower-bound estimate of 119879 exists and isunique if 1198861015840(0) is sufficiently small In some special casesthis root can be found analytically in terms of the Lambertfunction119882 [15 16]
In [17ndash22] the authors studied the characteristic of con-tinuous solution locality and the role of the Lambert functionas applied to the polynomial (multilinear) Volterra equationsof the first kind The calculations of the test examples showthat the locality feature of the solution to the linear equation(3) is not the result of the inaccuracy of estimates (8) and (17)and reflects the specifics of the considered class of problemsIn this paper we do not dwell on the problem of numericallysolving (3) It is of independent interest and deserves specialconsideration

To illustrate the fundamental difference between (35)(36) and classical Volterra equation of the first kind withsmooth kernel we confine ourselves to (20) that has the formof (35) at
119870 (119905 119904) =
1 120572119905 lt 119904 le 1199051 + 1205982
119904 = 120572119905120598 0 le 119904 lt 120572119905
(37)
where 120598 = 0 1 and 120572 isin (0 1) In particular at 120572 = 12 120598 = minus1
119870 (119905 119904) = sign(119904 minus 1199052) =
1 119904 gt 1199052
0 119904 = 1199052
minus1 119904 lt 1199052
(38)
For this case the solution to (35) with 119910(119905) = 119905 given in[23] is
119909 (119905) = ln 119905ln 2
+ 119909 (119904) (39)
For kernel (38)
119870 (0 0) = 0 119870 (119905 119905) = 0 119905 gt 0 (40)
If119870(119905 119904) is continuous in arguments and continuously differ-entiable with respect to 119905 inΔ then condition (40)means that(35) is Volterra integral equation of the third kind
The theory (whose foundation was laid by Volterra (see[24 pages 104ndash106])) of such equations is developed in theresearch done by Magnitsky [25ndash28]
In particular the author of [25ndash28] studies the structureof one- or many-parameter family of solutions to (35)
If 119870(119905 119904) is discontinuous then the solution to (35) maybe nonunique even if 119870(119905 119905) = 0 forall119905 ge 0
For example if120572 = 12 and 120598 = 1minus(1120572) = minus1 the solutionto equation

120572119905

119909 (119904) 119889119904 = 119905 119905 isin [0 119879] (41)
is a one-parameter family
119909 (119905) = minus ln 119905ln120572
+ 119909 (1) (42)
but by (37) 119870(0 0) = (1 + 120598)2 = 0 119870(119905 119905) = 1 119905 gt 0
Now we show that there can be a nonunique solution to(35) and (36) even in the case 119870(119905 119905) equiv 1 Let
119870 (119905 119904) = 1 119904 ge 120572119905120598 119904 lt 120572119905
(43)
so that condition119870(119905 119905) equiv 1 is trueWe prove that solutions to (35) (37) and (35) (43)
coincide It suffices to show that the equivalent functionalequations for (35) (37) and (35) (43) coincide Recall that for(35) (37) the equivalent functional equation is (24)
Theorem 3 The equivalent functional equations for (35) (37)and (35) (43) coincide
Proof Let us represent (43) by
119870 (119905 119904) equiv 1 + (120598 minus 1) 119890 (120572119905 minus 119904) (44)
where 119890(sdot)ndash is a Heaviside function

(36)
To illustrate the fundamental difference between (35)(36) and classical Volterra equation of the first kind withsmooth kernel we confine ourselves to (20) that has the formof (35) at
119870 (119905 119904) =
1 120572119905 lt 119904 le 1199051 + 1205982
119904 = 120572119905120598 0 le 119904 lt 120572119905
(37)
where 120598 = 0 1 and 120572 isin (0 1) In particular at 120572 = 12 120598 = minus1
119870 (119905 119904) = sign(119904 minus 1199052) =
1 119904 gt 1199052
0 119904 = 1199052
minus1 119904 lt 1199052
(38)
For this case the solution to (35) with 119910(119905) = 119905 given in[23] is
119909 (119905) = ln 119905ln 2
+ 119909 (119904) (39)
For kernel (38)
119870 (0 0) = 0 119870 (119905 119905) = 0 119905 gt 0 (40)
If119870(119905 119904) is continuous in arguments and continuously differ-entiable with respect to 119905 inΔ then condition (40)means that(35) is Volterra integral equation of the third kind
The theory (whose foundation was laid by Volterra (see[24 pages 104ndash106])) of such equations is developed in theresearch done by Magnitsky [25ndash28]
In particular the author of [25ndash28] studies the structureof one- or many-parameter family of solutions to (35)
If 119870(119905 119904) is discontinuous then the solution to (35) maybe nonunique even if 119870(119905 119905) = 0 forall119905 ge 0
For example if120572 = 12 and 120598 = 1minus(1120572) = minus1 the solutionto equation

119909 (119904) 119889119904 = 119905 119905 isin [0 119879] (41)
is a one-parameter family
119909 (119905) = minus ln 119905ln120572
+ 119909 (1) (42)
but by (37) 119870(0 0) = (1 + 120598)2 = 0 119870(119905 119905) = 1 119905 gt 0
Now we show that there can be a nonunique solution to(35) and (36) even in the case 119870(119905 119905) equiv 1 Let
119870 (119905 119904) = 1 119904 ge 120572119905120598 119904 lt 120572119905
(43)
so that condition119870(119905 119905) equiv 1 is trueWe prove that solutions to (35) (37) and (35) (43)
coincide It suffices to show that the equivalent functionalequations for (35) (37) and (35) (43) coincide Recall that for(35) (37) the equivalent functional equation is (24)
Theorem 3 The equivalent functional equations for (35) (37)and (35) (43) coincide
Proof Let us represent (43) by
119870 (119905 119904) equiv 1 + (120598 minus 1) 119890 (120572119905 minus 119904) (44)
where 119890(sdot)ndash is a Heaviside function
119890 (]) = 1 ] ge 00 ] lt 0

Substitution of (44) in (35) gives
