## Existence theorems for some quadratic integral equations.(English)Zbl 0913.45001

The considered quadratic integral equations arise in the theories of radiative transfer and neutron transport and in the kinetic theory of gases. The theory of measures of noncompactness is used to prove few existence theorems for some quadratic integral equations. The theory is illustrated by two examples.
