Decomposition of an integral operator into a composition
I've been musing about the following question for a while now. Given an integral operator $G$ defined by
$$ (Gf)(x) = \int_0^1 G(x,u) f(u)\,du $$
Is it possible to decompose this into two separate "...

Discrete versus Continuous Hilbert Transform
Let me define the Fourier transform of a function $u$, say in the Schwartz space $\mathscr S(\mathbb R)$ as
$
\hat u(\xi)=\int_{\mathbb R} e^{-2iπ x\cdot \xi} u(x) dx.
$
The Hilbert transform $\...

How to find the inverse of a product of two integral equations
Problem
I am trying to invert an equation of the form:
$R(l_0)=(\int_{0}^{l_0} \rho(x) \, dx)(\int_{l_0}^{l} \rho(x) \, dx)$
where $0\leq l_0 \leq l$
I.e. I want to find $\rho(x)$ given $R(l_0)$ via ...

Reference request: trace norm estimate
In a paper I am currently reading, the author uses that if $T$ is an operator given by the kernel $$T(x,y) = \int_{\mathbb R} p(x,z) q(z,y) dz,$$
then $$\lvert \operatorname{tr} T \rvert \leq \lVert T ...
