Abstract
In this paper, we prove some results concerning the existence of solutions for
some nonlinear functional-integral equations which contain various integral
and functional equations that are considered in nonlinear analysis. Our con-
siderations will be discussed in Banach algebra using a fixed point theorem
instead of using the technique of measure of noncompactness. An important
special case of that functional equation is Chandrasekhar’s integral equation
which appears in radiative transfer, neutron transport and the kinetic theory
of gases [1].

1. Introduction
Functional integral and differential equations of different types play an im- portant
and a fascinating role in nonlinear analysis and finding various ap- plications in
describing of several real world problems[2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9].
Nonlinear functional integral equations have been discussed in the literature
extensively, for a long time. See for example, Subramanyam and Sundersanam
[10], Ntouyas and Tsamatos [11], Dhage and O’Regan [12] and the references
therein.
Dhage [12] and [13] initiated the study of nonlinear integral equations in a
Banach algebra via fixed point techniques instead of using the technique of
measure of noncompactness.
Dhage [14] studied the existence of the nonlinear functional integral equation
(in short FIE)
