Nonrecursive statistics for integral equation solutions (Q1097024)

The author discusses difficulties encountered in trying to find the mean and autocorrelation of the solution of a random integral equation using an iterative method. Some successful alternative approaches may be found in Random integral equations with applications to life sciences and engineering (1971; Zbl 0225.60029) by \textit{C. P. Tsokos} and \textit{W. J. Padgett}, Approximate soluton of random equations (1979; Zbl 0416.00013) edited by \textit{A. T.
