The sufficient conditions for existence and uniqueness of continuous solutions of the Volterra operator equations of the first kind with piecewise continuous kernel are derived. The asymptotic approximation of the parametric family of solutions are constructed in case of non-unique solution. The algorithm for the solution's improvement is proposed using the successive approximations method. Keywords: Volterra operator equations of the first kind, asymptotic, discontinuous kernel, successive approximations, Fredholm's point, regularization. n 1 D i . Let us introduce biparametric family of linear continuous operator-functions K i (t, s), defined for t, s ∈ D i , i = 1, n, which are differentiable wrt t and acting from Banach space E 1 into Banach space E 2 . Therefore K i (t, s) ∈ L(E 1 → E 2 ) and ∂K i (t,s) ∂t ∈ L(E 1 → E 2 ) for t, s ∈ D i , i = 1, n. Let the space of continuous functions x(t) defined on [0, T ] with ranges on E 1 be denoted as C ([0,T ];E 1 ) . Let us introduce the integral operatorwith piecewise kernel
