%0 Journal Article %T Criteria for Similarity of a Dissipative Integral Operator to a Normal Operator %A Stanislav Kupin %A Vasiliy Vasyunin %J Mathematics %D 2001 %I arXiv %X We consider an integral dissipative operator in its Brodskii-Livshits triangular representation. The main question we are concerned with is similarity of the operator to a normal one. We obtain necessary as well as sufficient conditions for the similarity. The study is based on functional model technique. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/math/0111124v1
