### Positive solutions for a class of Volterra integral equations via a fixed point theorem in Fréchet spaces

#### Abstract

Motivated by the Emden differential equation we discuss in this paper the existence of positive solutions to the integral equation $$y(t)=\int^t_0 k(t,s)f(y(s))ds \quad\text{for } t\in [0,T).$$
