Solvability conditions for some non-Fredholm operators with shifted arguments

Abstract

In the first part of the article we establish the existence in the sense of sequences of solutions in $H^{2}(R)$ for some nonhomogeneous linear differential equation in which one of the terms has the argument translated by a constant. It is shown that under the reasonable technical conditions the convergence in $L^{2}(R)$ of the source terms implies the existence and the convergence in $H^{2}(R)$ of the solutions. The second part of the work deals with the solvability in the sense of sequences in $H^{2}(R)$ of the integro-differential equation in which one of the terms has the argument shifted by a constant. It is demonstrated that under the appropriate auxiliary assumptions the convergence in $L^{1}(R)$ of the integral kernels yields the existence and the convergence in $H^{2}(R)$ of the solutions. Both equations considered involve the second order differential operator with or without the Fredholm property depending on the value of the constant by which the argument gets translated.
