Solvability of Integral Equations with Endogenous Delays.

This paper performs a systematic study of some nonlinear integral equations with unknown lower limits of integration, which arise in economics, operations research, population biology and environmental sciences. A general investigation technique is developed for systems of such equations and several theorems about the existence and uniqueness of a solution are proven. The links to other functional equations with state-dependent delays are discussed. Applied interpretation of the obtained results is provided. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
