integral equation
an equation in which an integral involving a dependent variable appears.
[1795-1805]

* * *

In mathematics, an equation with an unknown function within an integral.

An example is
where f(x) is known and φ(t) is to be found, given certain conditions on f. Such equations are useful in solving differential equations.
