Abstract:
Multiple integrals generalizing the iterated kernels of linear integral equations are expressed by a series each of whose terms is proportional to the product of two orthogonal functions in the case of a similar representation of the kernel. Besides integral equations, these integrals have applications in the theory of Markov processes. The results obtained are illustrated by several examples.
Keywords:multiple integral, linear integral equation, iterated kernel, Markov process, Kolmogorov–Chapman equation, orthogonal function.
