Khachatryan, Kh. A. Application of the albedo shifting method to an integral equation. (Russian, English) Zbl 1064.45003 Zh. Vychisl. Mat. Mat. Fiz. 42, No. 6, 905-912 (2002); translation in Comput. Math. Math. Phys. 42, No. 6, 870-877 (2002). The following conservative integral equation on the semi-axes is considered \[ f(x) = g(x) + \int_0^{+\infty}K(| x - t| )f(t)\,dt + \int_0^{+\infty}K_0(x + t)f(t)\,dt, \] where the kernels \(K\) and \(K_0\) are superposition of exponents and present a sum and a remainder of arguments. Having applied the special factorization method by N. B. Engibaryan and the author [ibid. 38, No. 3, 466–482 (1998; Zbl 0949.45004)], which is an analog of the albedo shifting method, the conservative problem is reduced to a dissipative one. The solvability of the equation and the existence of a solution at infinity are proved.
