Abstract

The solution of the Volterra integral equation with completely positive kernel y(t) + ∝0t b(t - s) y(s) ds = u0 + ∝0t b(t - s) g(s) ds, t ≥ 0, is nonnegative and nonincreasing provided that g is nonincreasing and 0 ≤ g(t) ≤ u0 for any t > 0. We prove that under some additional hypotheses this property is inherited by the solution of the recurrence relation resulting from applying the trapezoidal method to this equation.
