The main tool used in the proof is the concept of a measure of noncompactness. We also present some examples of nonlinear singular integral equations of Volterra type to show the efficiency of our results.Moreover, we compare our theory with the approach depending on the use of the theory of Volterra-Stieltjes integral equations. We also show that the results of the paper are applicable in the study of the so-called fractional integral equations which are recently intensively investigated and find numerous applications in describing some real world problems.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
