Homework Statement
find a continuous solution to the integral equation:
f(x)=(x^3)+(1/2)*integral from 0 to 1 of ((x*y)/(y+1))*f(y)dy, by finding a fixed point of the function v:(C([0,1]), d)-->((C([0,1]), d) defined by
v(f)(x)=(x^3)+(1/2)*integral from 0 to 1 of ((x*y)/(y+1))*f(y)dy
Homework Equations
d is the supremum norm.
d(v(f1),v(f2))=sup(x in [0,1]) |(v(f1)(x)-v(f2)(x)|<=(1/4)*sup(y in [0,1]) |f1(y)-f2(x)|
