Abstract

We consider the following system of Volterra integral equations: {Mathematical expression} and some of its particular cases that arise from physical problems. Criteria are offered for the existence of one and more constant-sign solutions u = (u1, u2, ..., un) of the system in (C [0, T])n. We say u is of constant sign if for each 1 ≤ i ≤ n, θi ui (t) ≥ 0 for all t ∈ [0, T], where θi ∈ {1, - 1} is fixed. Examples are also included to illustrate the results obtained.
