How to find the inverse of this linear integral operator?
Let $f(x): \mathbb{R}^d \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ be a function that decays ``fastly enough'' at infinity.
We can define the following linear operator
$$L[f](x):= \int_{\mathbb{R}^d} d^d y \, \frac{f(y)}...

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 ...
