Abstract
For a proper understanding of the integral equation method, several mathematical concepts have to be defined. The concepts include: integral and integro-differential equations; integral operators and their kernels; linearity and nonlinearity of the integral operators and integral equations; convolution kernels; kinds of integral equations (first and second kind); distinction between Fredholm and Volterra integral equations; regular, singular and weakly singular kernels (and integral equations). Techniques such as the Laplace, Fourier and Hankel transformations have to be recalled, as they are used for the conversion of initial boundary value problems into integral equations.
