In this work we study integral equations defined on the whole real line. Using a suitable Banach space, we look for solutions which satisfy some certain kind of asymptotic behavior. We will consider spectral theory in order to find fixed points of the integral operator.

IntroductionIn this paper we will study the existence of fixed points of the following integral operatorWhen working with integral problems defined in unbounded intervals, the main difficulty is the lack of compactness of the operator. In the recent literature (see [4,6,[12][13][14]), most of the authors use the following relatively compactness criterion (see [3,16]) to deal with this problem: 1 ([16, Theorem 1]). Let E be a Banach space and ( , E) the space of all bounded continuous functions x : → E. For a set D ⊂ ( , E) to be relatively compact, it is necessary and sufficient that:
