Liouville-Neumann series

The Liouville-Neumann series is an infinite series defined as

which is a unique, continuous solution of a Fredholm integral equation of the second kind. If the nth iterated kernel is defined as

then

The resolvent or solving kernel is given by

hence the solution of the integral equation becomes

Similar methods may be used to solve the Volterra equations.
