Cover Story: We investigate the solution of the integral equation describing the evolution of the intensity of the free electron laser. The method we propose employs a broader definition of the memory kernel derivative and is obtained by a generalization of the Volterra iteration procedure. The figures report the normalized intensity vs. the normalized frequency. View this paper
