Abstract

In this paper we investigate the existence and uniqueness of positive continuous solutions for a q-analogue of Volterra and Fredholm integral equations of first and second kinds. We derive the results by using three fixed point theorems introduced by Bushell in [7, 8]. Bushell derived his theorems by using the Cayley-Hilbert projective metric and Banach fixed point theorem. We also include some uniqueness criteria for the solutions of certain nonlinear q-integral equations provided that the solution exists in certain function spaces.
