“…On the one hand, the paper is a continuation of the article [10], where necessary and sufficient conditions for continuity of linear integral operators in BV [a, b] were studied. On the other hand, it can be also regarded as a part of a larger whole, as various topological and algebraic properties of linear and nonlinear operators on BV [a, b] have been studied extensively recently (acting conditions as well as continuity of nonlinear superposition operators-also known as Nemytskii operators-were studied in, respectively, [6,32] and [22,29], while properties of multiplication operators and sets of multipliers were studied in [4,5,7,13]). The works of Maćkowiak and Gulgowski concerning continuity of Nemytskii operators in BV [a, b] (see [22,29]) are especially interesting here, since, together with the results from [10] and the compactness results from this paper, they enable more flexibility of assumptions while, for example, looking for solutions of integral equations in the space of functions of bounded variation (balancing the linear and nonlinear parts of the nonlinear operators associated with such problems is crucial here).…”
