Study of Dieckmann’s equation with integral kernels having variable kurtosis coefficient

Resumo

An integral equation arising in a spatial model of stationary communities developed by the Austrian scientists Ulf Dieckmann and Richard Low is studied. A special case of this equation with integral kernels being Student distributions is considered. The existence of a solution in this case is proved, and the application of a method for reducing the dimension of a multidimensional integral equation previously proposed by the authors is described.
