The attractivity of functional hereditary integral equations.

In this paper, the problem of attractivity of solutions for functional hereditary integral equations is initiated. A hereditary integral equation is converted into a second kind Volterra integral equation of convolution type by use of the property of convolution. Sufficient conditions for the existence of attractive solutions are established according to the fixed point theorem. The conclusions presented in this paper extend some published results. The effectiveness of the proposed results is illustrated by three numerical examples. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
