Abstract:
In this paper we present a new approach to the solution of scalar and operator equations of the form
\begin{equation*}
f(x)=g(x)+\int_0^\infty T(x-t)f(t)\,dt.
\tag{A}
\end{equation*}
We derive and study some new functional equations, occupying an intermediate position between the equation (A) and the Ambarcumyan equation. This approach leads to a very simple way of deriving and generalizing Ambarcumyan's equations.
