Abstract

Being part of a research group on functional differential equations (FDEs, for short), due to my formation in non-absolute integration theory and because certain kinds of FDEs can be expressed as integral equations, I was motivated to investigate the latter. The purpose of this work, therefore, is to develop the theory of integral equations, when the integrals involved are in the sense of Kurzweil- Henstock or Kurzweil-Henstock-Stieltjes, through the correspondence between solutions of integral equations and solutions of generalized ordinary differential equations (we write generalized ODEs, for short). In order to be able to obtain results for integral equations, we propose extensions of both the Kurzweil integral and the generalized ODEs (found in [36]). We develop the fundamental properties of this new generalized ODE, such as existence and uniqueness of solutions results, and we propose stability concepts for the solutions of our new class of equations. We, then, apply these results to a class of nonlinear Volterra integral equations of the second kind. Finally, we consider a model of population growth (found in [4]) that can be expressed as an integral equation that belongs to this class of nonlinear Volterra integral equations. (AU)
