Abstract

In this paper we consider the integral Volterra operator on the space L²(0,1). We say that a complex number λ is an extended eigenvalue of V if there exists a nonzero operator X satisfying the equation XV=λVX. We show that the set of extended eigenvalues of V is precisely the interval (0, ∞) and the corresponding eigenvectors may be chosen to be integral operators as well.
