Solve Integral Equation: Mathematica Function?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on solving integral equations of the form integral(a,b)(c * f(T) dT) == d, where a, b, c, and d are known constants. Users inquire about the existence of a dedicated function in Mathematica for this purpose. It is established that there is no unique solution for such equations, as various forms of f(T) can lead to different solutions, such as constant functions or polynomial forms.

Hi

can anybody suggest my how to solve an integral equation of this type
integral(a,b)( c * f(T) dT) ==d

where a,b,c,d are known constants?

Does Mathematica own a dedicated function for solving integral equations?

Thanks

As stated there is no unique solution. For example you could let f(T) be an unknown costant k and you will have an equation c*(b-a)*k=d. Similarly f(T) could be k* T^n and you will have c*(b^(n+1)-a(n+1))*k/(n+1)=d. (n is given arbitrary)
