Existence of Coupled Quasi-solutions of Nonlinear Integro-Differential Equations of Volterra Type in Banach Spaces

Yan Liang · Journal of Advances in Mathematics and Computer Science · 2014

We study an initial value problem for a class of integro-differential equations of Volterra type in a real Banach space. Using method of upper and lower solutions and M¨onch and Von Harten theorem, we obtain an existence theorem of coupled quasi-solutions, which is an extension o...
