%0 Journal Article %T A FIXED POINT METHOD IN THE STUDY OF AN INTEGRAL EQUATION %A DINU TEODORESCU %J Journal of Science and Arts %D 2012 %I Bibliotheca Publishing House %X We prove an existence and uniqueness result for an integral equation involving selfadjoint integral operators in LR^2(0,1). The proof of principal result uses a variational method in Hilbert space, finalized by application of Banach fixed point theorem in a specific context, replacing classical approach of linear integral equations by an approach specific especially to nonlinear analysis. %K integral equation %K selfadjoint operator %K strongly positive linear operator. %U http://www.icstm.ro/DOCS/josa/josa_2012_1/a_03_Teodorescu.pdf
