I have a system of nonlinear Volterra integral equations of form $$x(t)=x_0+\int_0^t K(t,s)F(x(s))ds$$ and I am interested on the critical points of $x(t)$, I mean maximum, minimum, increasing and decreasing intervals, nonnegativity etc. I have interest when $K$ is nonnegative (but the signal of $F$ depends on signal of $x$). I imagine it's impossible to get complete informations about that, but here I am asking for theorems and general results to help me to study these aspects, once is impossible know the true solution. Thank you. ***EDIT*** I am mainly interested in nonnegativity, since we need it for physically coherent solutions. OBS.: This is a repost of this question: [MathExchange][1].
