Extract

Necessary and sufficient conditions for Abel's integral equation to have a solution have been given by Tamarkin [18]. The form of the solution was obtained by Abel [1]. The corresponding integral equation for an infinite range of integration was introduced by Liouville [12], who found a solution in a restricted class of cases. In the present paper, we find necessary and sufficient conditions for Liouville's equation to have a solution, and also give the form of the solution.
