SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the representation of integro-differential equations using operator notation. Specifically, the Fredholm integral equation of the second kind is expressed as $\psi=f+K \psi$, where $K$ is the operator kernel. The participant confirms that the integro-differential equation $\d{\psi(x)}{x}=f(x)+\int_{a}^{b} \,k(x,s)\psi(s) ds$ can indeed be rewritten in the operator form ${D}_{x}\psi=f+K \psi$. This confirms the applicability of operator notation to both integral and integro-differential equations.

Hi

For brevity one usually writes Fredholm integral equation of the 2nd kind

$\psi(x)=f(x)+\int_{a}^{b} \,k(x,s)\psi(s) ds$

into the form

$\psi=f+K \psi$
where $K$ is the operator kernel

My question can one write an integro differential equation

$\d{\psi(x)}{x}=f(x)+\int_{a}^{b} \,k(x,s)\psi(s) ds$

into the form

${D}_{x}\psi=f+K \psi$

thanks
