## Positive solutions of operator equations on half-line.(English)Zbl 1086.47035

The paper is devoted to the proof of an existence of positive solutions to the operator equation $x(t) = A x(t),\quad t\in {\mathbb R}_{+}, \tag{1}$ where $$A$$ is a special kind of nonlinear Hammerstein type integral operator. The proof is based on Krasnosel’skii’s theorem on the existence of a fixed point for a completely continuous operator on a cone in a Banach space. The non-uniqueness of positive solutions is discussed, too.
