Fredholm equation (Definition)

A Fredholm equation of the first kind is an integral equation of the form

$\displaystyle \int_{a}^{b} K(x,y) f(y) dy = g(x), \quad \forall x \in [a,b], $
and a Fredholm equation of the second kind is an integral equation of the form
$\displaystyle f(x) - \lambda\int_{a}^{b} K(x,y)f(y)dy = g(x), \quad \forall x \in [a, b], $
where
$\displaystyle Kf(x) = \int_{a}^{b} K(x,y)f(y)dy, \quad \forall x \in [a, b] $
is a compact operator in some function space.
