Summary

This paper concerns the eigenproblem for convolution integral equations whose kernels can be expressed as finite or infinite Fourier transforms of integrable functions. A procedure which closely parallels previous work on displacement integral equations is derived and the problem of existence is treated. Approximations are obtained for both the eigenvalues and the eigenfunctions.
