SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on the conditions necessary for solving the integral equation involving the function f(x,t). The equation presented is \(\int_0^{\infty} e^{-x}[f(x,t)+g(t)] xdx=g(t)\). The solution approach involves integration by parts, leading to the conclusion that f(x,t) equals q(t), where q(t) is determined to be zero. This establishes a clear relationship between the functions involved and the conditions required for the solution.

Hi,
it is possible to solve the following problem, I mean give at least some conditions on f(x,t)?

[tex] <br /> \int_0^{\infty}e^{-x}[f(x,t)+g(t)] xdx=g(t)<br /> [/tex]

i give my solution, tell me if there's something wrong with it:

i integrate by parts the rhs:

[tex] <br /> \int_0^{\infty} e^{-x}x[f(x,t)+g(t)]dx= \int_0^{\infty} e^{-x}x f(x,t)dx+g(t) = \newline<br /> f(x,t)_0^{\infty} -f(x,t)+g(t)<br /> [/tex]

since [tex]f(x,t)_0^{\infty}=q(t)[/tex], and rhs=g(t), it follows that

[tex] <br /> f(x,t)=q(t)[/tex]

and then q(t)=0
