\[x_{n+1}(t)=v(t)+\mu\int_{a}^{b}k(t,s)x_{n}(s)ds,\ \ n=0,1,\dots\]

Proof

: We can write equation (2.9) as \(x=Tx\) where

\[Tx(t)=v(t)+\mu\int_{a}^{b}k(t,s)x(s)ds.\]The proof then follows from the Banach Fixed Point Theorem if we prove that \(T\) is a contraction on \(C[a,b]\). We have

\[d(Tx,Ty) = \sup_{t\in[a,b]}|Tx(t)-Ty(t)|\] \[= \sup_{t\in[a,b]}\left|v(t)+\mu\int_{a}^{b}k(t,s)x(s)ds-\left[v(t)+ \mu\int_{a}^{b}k(t,s)y(s)ds\right]\right|\] \[= \sup_{t\in[a,b]}\left|\mu\int_{a}^{b}k(t,s)[x(s)-y(s)]ds\right|\] \[\leq |\mu|\sup_{t\in[a,b]}\int_{a}^{b}|k(t,s)|x(s)-y(s)|ds\] \[\leq |\mu|M(b-a)d(x,y)=\alpha d(x,y).\]

Since

\[\alpha=|\mu|M(b-a)<1,\]

we have that \(T\) is a contraction on \(C[a,b]\).

**Remark 45**.: We can also apply the above method to the nonlinear integral equation

\[x(t)-\mu\int_{a}^{b}k(t,s,x(s))ds=v(t),\]

when

\[|k(t,s,u_{1})-k(t,s,u_{2})|\leq L|u_{1}-u_{2}|,\]

and

\[|\mu|<\frac{1}{L(b-a)}.\]

Now we will look at the Volterra integral equation.

**Definition 73** (Volterra Integral Equation).: Suppose \(v\in C[a,b]\) and \(k\in C([a,b]\times[a,t]).\) Then the _Volterra integral equation_ is an equation of the form

\[x(t)=\mu\int_{a}^{t}k(t,s)x(s)ds+v(t). \tag{2.10} \]\]

Note that the difference between the Volterra integral equation above and Fredholm integral equation defined in (2.9) is the upper limit of integration changed from a constant to a variable. We first prove a more general fixed point theorem. In the following by \(T^{n}\), we mean \(T\) composed with itself \(n\) times.

Proof

: Since \(T^{n}\) is a contraction on X, \(T^{n}\) has a unique fixed point \(x\in X\) so that \(T^{n}x=x\). Noting that

\[T^{n}(Tx)=T^{n+1}x=T(T^{n}x)=Tx,\]

we see that \(Tx\) is also a fixed point of \(T^{n}\), but there can be only one, so \(Tx=x\). Now, any fixed point \(x^{*}\) of \(T\) is also a fixed point of \(T^{n}\) since

\[T^{n}x^{*}=T^{n-1}(Tx^{*})=T^{n-1}x^{*}=\cdots=Tx^{*}=x^{*}.\]

It follows that \(x\) is the only fixed point of \(T\).

**Example 80**.: Let \(T:C[0,1]\to C[0,1]\) be a linear operator given by

\[Tx(t)=\int_{0}^{t}x(s)ds. \tag{2.11} \]\]

Then

* \(T\) is not a contraction on \(C[0,1]\).
* \(T\) has a unique fixed point \(x\equiv 0\).
* \(T^{n}\) are contractions on \(C[0,1]\) for all \(n\geq 2\).

Proof

:
* Notice that \[||T1-T0||=||T1||=\sup_{t\in[0,1]}t=1=||1-0||.\] Therefore we have that \(T\) is not a contraction on \(C[0,1]\).
* Notice that \[Tx(0)=\int_{0}^{0}x(s)ds=0,\] which implies that \(Tx(0)=0\) and so \(T\) has a unique fixed point at the function \(x\equiv 0\).
* We will proceed here by induction. First we show the base case of \(n=2\): \[T^{2}x(t) =\int_{0}^{t}Tx(s)\,ds=\int_{0}^{t}\left(\int_{0}^{s}x(s)du \right)ds\] \[\leq||x||\int_{0}^{t}\int_{0}^{s}duds\] \[=\frac{t^{2}}{2}||x||\leq\frac{1}{2}||x||\implies||T^{2}x||\leq \frac{1}{2}||x||.\] By induction it is easy to show that \[||T^{n}x||\leq\frac{1}{n!}||x||.\]

[MISSING_PAGE_FAIL:199]

So, we have from the induction that

\[d(T^{n}x,T^{n}y) = \sup_{t\in[a,b]}|T^{n}x(t)-T^{n}y(t)|\] \[\leq \frac{|\mu|^{n}M^{n}(b-a)^{n}}{n!}d(x,y).\]

So by letting

\[\alpha_{n}=\frac{|\mu|^{n}M^{n}(b-a)^{n}}{n!},\]

for any fixed \(\mu\) and sufficient large \(n\), we have that \(\alpha_{n}<1\) since \(\lim_{n\to\infty}\alpha_{n}=0\). Hence, \(T^{n}\) is a contraction on \(C[a,b]\) and the assertion follows from the Fredholm Integral Equation Theorem.
